Gardening for Old Folks (Adaptative)

[Sequel]

I'm old and I love to garden. I believe I have found my tribe!

You are welcome! Are you digging potatoes already? Those look good!

Have to get new photos in the garden.
I enlarged the garden quite allot this year.
My gourds are having a party.

Thanks. Yes, the plants died back on my earliest plantings. I rolled out the grow bags, crossed my fingers and hoped for potatoes. I hadn't had freshly dug potatoes for years so it was quite a treat, just boiled with butter and truffle salt.

I did do garden pictures best we have had here.
I am thrilled with how the gourds have taken off.
We added the chicken yard we first used 14 years ago for gourds. lettuce and peas.

I have it made! My daughter and husband moved back here. They live right behind us. They love gardening. Have raised beds and also rows of peas, corn, okra. My job? Pick what I want. Sometimes they pick and all I have to do is shell, cut, etc., bag and freeze.

When peeled and sliced, they taste like a regular cucumber. They are hairy on the outside. I have had them get as long as 30" in the past.

Small ones pickle fine as is.
