Could it be your tone?

Could it be your tone?

could be the slurred words too!

I've been cutting back slowly on my farming over the years. I used to have milkers, dropped down to beef, then went to hogs... and lastly chickens. Now I just sell hay....

Maybe once I retire, I might start back up to keep me busy.... But, as Dotch can attest... it's a lot of work, and not much gratification.

Good for you HD.

Amen HD. Am hoping the young 4-H lady's family will be able to get a building built before fall so they can get 10 ewes from us. It would cut our brood ewe flock by 1/3. We are letting them go for cheap even tho there's a lot of high powered breeding there, not to mention all the work the past 37 years. Can't keep this up forever & they would go to a good home.

Got some action photos of the garden tonite. Water running out of the side hill thru the string beans & sweet corn. Ugly peppers altho the 'maters that haven't turned yellow, yet. Stabbed in some early zucchini where they didn't come & filled in one hill of cukes I might've missed Monday. All the other hills have cuke seedlings coming up in them. Tomorrow I'll stab in some string beans & see if they'll grow where they're missing. Gotta keep trying.

gonna snip off all the cruddy looking yellow leaves of the maters today. i dont just let them lay in the garden anymore, i'll toss them in the yard waste bin. dont really know whats causing it so i dont want it left in the garden. it seemed to help the last few years i started getting them out of the garden.

also gonna snip the low branches......seems to help with the plants not getting blight!!!!
