Ahhh a true liberal. 

Now if the poor and needy wanted a ride id give them that but they can come and pick it themselves.   The poor and needy continue to be the poor and needy when you just give them stuff.

[glenn57]

damn it smilies still don't work. by poor and needy I meant the elderly. bring it to a nursing home! but then I knew you'd comment in that fashion. mission accomplished!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!

[HD]

Well, I figured since I'm the one that tills it, plants it, waters it, weeds it, picks it, cooks it, cans it, then tills it up again....I better get to pick'in potatoes, otherwise it won't get done.

[The General]

Glenn I was thinking the poor and needy was you.   Poor Glenn,  his gardening skills are only out matched by his fishing skills.   Needy Glenn,  my garden didn't grow.   Can I come over.   But I knew how you would respond. 

[glenn57]

NOPE you thunk wrong............glenn can take care of himself just fine!!!!!!!!!!

Dang leave those bad boys in the ground.   If you're so much in a rush I'll have some in a month to come and dig.

Your offering to come up here and dig my taters for me? Ssssssswwwwweeeeeetttt!

[glenn57]

HD, the way it sounds his bride would be doing it!!!!!!!!!!

[The General]

Umm NO.  I meant if HD is in such a hurry he can come dig mine too.  I sure wouldn't have a union guy do it unless I was looking for someone to lean on a shovel.

[glenn57]

those are the highway dept guys that lean on shovels.      you couldn't handle it a day workin as a boilermaker!!!!!!!!

garden is really starting to wind down. by the end of the weekend should be down to maybe 8 or so tomato plants. not much left for carrots and kalarbi either. few leaves starting to fall also!

[deadeye]

Neighbors been feeding the deer all summer.  They have pretty much took over my gardens.  Potatoes are still in the ground, that is the ones the deer haven't dug up.  Still get to have some ground cheery as the deer haven't discovered they are under the plants.

This will be the last of the jarring.....jalapeño jelly.

[The General]

I'm going to be digging the potatoes soon and then it will be time to till.  Everything else has been mowed over and ready to go. 

[glenn57]

appears by the extended forecast there will be a killer freeze fri nite so its time to get my maters I want to save picked!

[glenn57]

garden is officially retired for the season. everything is out. now just need to try to lay some of my maple leaves down on it to till in next spring.

[Bobby Bass]

Tatter and carrots still in the ground here, picked last of beans last night. Still have tomatoes. We have yet to receive a hard frost 

[The General]

Dug 2 rows of taters for 55 gallons.   One row to dig tonight.

I take it you don't dig by hand????????

[The General]

I take it you don't dig by hand????????

What gives you that idea?   My son and I dig every one by hand.

[glenn57]

lol yea right...........I seen pics of your garden rows!!! and I noticed your office hands!!!!!!

[The General]

What does the rows have to do with it?   Some of us know how to do more with something with a handle on it than lean.   However I did contemplate buying a loader for my tractor after this year

[glenn57]

rows meant that's a whole lotta taters to dig by hand!!!!!!! pretty sure I spent more time USING  things with handles then leaning on them.well maybe other then sippin a brew!!!!!!

[corny13]

Just put the grandsons on the plane back to Okinawa Japan.  We had a great month started fishing on Leech...finished digging taters with Papa!!

[glenn57]

LOL! and by the looks you convinced him it was FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HD]

I planted reds and yellow taters this year. I dug everything up tonight. I did not find one yellow in the whole crop. Not sure what happened, but I'm glad I grew 2 different kinds.

[glenn57]

I just bought 50 lbs of yellows for 19 bucks. Never had them before. How are they HD?

[The General]

I finished up digging tonight.  Dug a total of 75 gallons of taters.  Time to put the tiller on the tractor and call it a year.
