What did you do in the garden today?

That's what I always plant.

Good idea!

Some of mine were large, some on the smaller side. My friend gave me 6 large ones. These have all been tasty.

The 6 I bought at the farmer's market were all large ones. Bland, blah.

I am definitely growing more this year. I had two hills last year. I think there were 5-6 vines, total. I had to pick them all at the end of August, because a deer got in and ate the vines. No leaves left, just nubs. One of the ones I picked wasn't ripe. I left it until December, and even though the skin was pale-ish, it tasted fine.

I'm glad I have a fenced in backyard where deer, etc. can't get in. Enough issues with feral cats coming in to in my raised beds & squirrels bringing walnuts from the neighbor's tree & trading them for my red potatoes.

Time to get a BBQ gun and start target practice.

That's what I thought too...

My daughter just sent me a text from a job that she has just been accepted for. It's with the same hospital but she's going to be full time and get full benefits. I'm so proud of her.
