Home agin', home agin', rig-a-jig-jig !!...
Oh, where to begin to catch up with ya'll.....
First - Happy belated Birthday wishes to my fellow GarlicHead Dave. Have fun with your new tablesaw. Fish-emulsion dog kisses - makes me gag just thinking about how bad that must have been. Makes morning breath seem like fresh air, huh?....lol
James's garlic ( his thread ) looks very nice. I envy his weed-freeness.
Been a busy week here too.
A week ago today we came back from all day in the city to find an over heated grnhs. and 'maters flopped over from the heat...that took me till midnite to water everything and recessitate. With the well still out of commission, hauling all that water 5 gal. at a time from the kitchen sink was a task better suited for the beginning of the day as opposed to what should have been the end of one.
The well was finally back together and working as of yesterday when I got home from work. Three weeks of hauling 5 gal. buckets from the kitchen sink took up alot of valuable daylite in the evening, and I'm needing all I can make use of.
Have had high windage last few days, really bad today following 1 4/10ths. of early morning thunderstorm. ( Glad I had my computer unplugged, the wife didn't and now regrets it. ) Everything needed the rain, especially the garlics. They are standing much straighter and brighter green this evening.
Finally caught the damn mouse that was getting fat digging up and eating seeds in the grnhouse.
Almost got the last acre mowed when the PTO clutch gave out Wed. nite, just got that back together and running last task tonite. The repair didn't go "text-book" smooth....and I have sore knuckles.
Last weekend was spent doing a light tilling to knock back the early spring weeds followed by getting the Acorn and Spaghetti squash planted, wish the Butternut was in too after this mornings rain.
Peas are coming on nicely, onions and leeks are looking like they should. First of the Yukons are spots of dark green dotting the rows. Cilantro is up. I planted too thin, so I'm gonna seed them again. The carrots and beets are like carrots and beets will be; not all coming up at once....and taking their time about it too. Lack of rain.
3 out of 6 brush piles have been turned to ash.
Haven't seen frost on the windshield for over a week.
Grnhs. is wanting to be emptied out. But the next couple days of forecasted stormy weather isn't gonna facilitate that. The tomatos
are complaining the most. One constraint to not repotting as they grow is when they get past the capacity of the medium to retain enough moisture for more than a couple days. I've spent alot of time after work hauling water out to the grnhs.
Windtower construction all around me has my road totally trashed. And of course the winds have been out of the North, so we've been eating gravel dust whenever we're outside. Our whole hilltop is covered in a fine, gritty, grey dusting everywhere you look. You kick up a cloud of it just walking thru the grass.
Grapes are coming on strong, look to bear heavy again this year if we don't get a late frost.
I keep expecting to see the first early hatch of grasshoppers anytime now. This cool weather will put that off for a few more days too.
My fingers are tired and my Corona is getting warm. Think I'll post this now.....lmao
If you can grow food, you have a cosmic obligation to feed those that can't.
Got a sweet sunburn to go with it too. Yes I had sunblock on. Now I look like a farmer with red arm bands. 
I modified my layout in the 4x8 boxes with 8 tomatoes in each. I have 3 in a row along the outside edges and 2 down the middle in the gaps. It should work. I plan to put in stakes at the ends and run the maters up on garden twine. Weather looks good. Rain in 2 days. Anybody else play in the dirt today?
They won't get frostbite, but they probably aren't gonna like it.
Sounds like you had a great time!
