    the biggest snake i have seen around here was one that crawled under my truck. i watched it go and told my nephew to watch out his window. when he said "wow" I could still see over a foot of it's tail. I think it was a python that somebody turned loose. other than that. five foot long pine snakes.

    I used to plant potatoes. had some real nice crops,too. had to give up planting directly into the ground. we both got too old to sit and weed and pick potato bugs. today i spread some old buckwheat seeds. if they grow, they grow. if not, the birds can eat them.
