plowed the garden

[Owl]

GOING TO PLANT MY GREEN BEANS TONITE, KINDA BEHIND CAUSE OF GOING TO THE DR. AND GETTING THEM DANG SHOTS IN MY NECK, BUT AT LEAST NOW I FEEL LIKE WORKING IN THE YARD! GOT MY MOWING DONE TODAY, THAT IS AN ALL DAY JOB WITH AS BIG AS OUR YARD IS!

[SpyderLady]

oooh, you be careful. You want those shots to last as long as possible since there is a limit to how many and how often. I know you are excited about feeling better but take care, owl.

[joyce]

Glad you are feeling better owl. Just be careful and don't overdo it. I know whatca mean about a big yard. It takes me a 1/2 day to mow this one. I have to start back in the pasture today.

I need a tractor with a bush hog. I keep telling hubby I want one for Christmas. Like everything else it goes in one ear and out the other.

[Owl]

THANKFULLY WE FINALLY GOT A RIDING MOWER CAUSE IT TOOK 2 DAYS WITH A PUSH MOWER AND I AM NOT UP TO THAT AT, AND PROBABLY NEVER WILL BE AGAIN!. I WILL BE CAREFUL AND TRY NOT TO OVERDUE IT CAUSE I FEEL TOO GOOD TO GO BACK TO THE WAY I WAS BEFORE THE SHOTS! BUT I AM GLAD I GOT MY BEANS PLANTED NOTHING BETTER THAN HOME GROWN GREEN BEANS! ALL I HAVE IN MY GARDEN THIS YEAR IS TOMATOES, ZUCHNINNI AND GREEN BEANS, MAYBE NEXT YEAR IT WILL BE BIGGER!

[froggie]

Yea right mama owl,you say that every year but every year it gets smaller.Not that you dont have enough to do but we miss the corn on the cob!! Tadpole likes to garden but so far all hes gotten to grow are zucchinni(& if you count the pumpkins that never turned orange).

[Owl]

WELL DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE "NOT ORANGE PUMPKIN" BUT I USUALLY HAVE LETTUCE AND ONIONS AND PEAS ALONG WITH TOMATOES AND BEANS AND ZUCHINNI. YOU ARE JUST NOT AROUND TO EAT THEM SO I EAT YOUR SHARE!!!!!

[SpyderLady]

Too bad froggie doesn't live closer...she could have planted the corn there. lol

[froggie]

I dont know how to plant corn. I will be there in July & I want wilted lettuce & tomatoes & green beans & fried chicken. When I lived closer I did help water & weed.

[joyce]

lettuce with chopped onions with hot bacon grease poured over it and cornbread.

[froggie]

Joyce,you are making me hungry. Do you like beans with it too?

[califgirl]

My mom used to make wilted lettuce, it is so good.
We would have it with friend chicken and green beans.
ummmmmmmmmmm ymmmmmm

[Owl]

FROGGIE YOU ARE NOT TOO OLD TO LEARN HOW TO PLANT CORN, BUT IF YOU WANT CORN PLANTED HERE YOU WILL TILL UP THE GROUND AND TAKE CARE OF IT YOURSELF! IF YOU ARE A " GOOD GIRL" MAYBE I WILL HAVE SOME LETTUCE AND WILL MAKE YOU SOME WILTED LETTUCE WHEN YOU COME FOR YOUR VISIT IN JULY. AND THE REASON THE GARDEN KEEPS GETTING SMALLER IS BECAUSE ALL OF YOU KIDS ARE MOVING OUT AND GETTING LIVES OF YOUR OWN AND HOMES OF YOUR OWN, YOU HAVE A YARD GO AND PLANT SOMETHING THERE!

[joyce]

Ouch!!!!!! ;D


Got to have a pot of beans with it, froggie. Gawd, I'm hungry for some now and it's 5:20 a.m. of a morning.

[froggie]

Mama Owl,you arent being very nice to me. LOL Why do I have to be good,its too hard?! Even if I did have corn,it wouldnt be as good as yours.(just ask Jenna) She wont even eat the tomatoes from your house once they get to ours.

[Owl]

THATS CAUSE GRANDMAS ARE SPECIAL SO WHATEVER IS AT MY HOUSE LOSES IT SPECIALNESS WHEN IT LEAVES HERE!LOL! AND I WAS NOT BEING MEAN, YOU COULD GROW A FEW GREEN BEANS AND SOME LETTUCE AT YOUR HOUSE THEY DON'T TAKE ALOT OF ROOM TO GROW BUT CORN IS ANOTHER THING IT DOES TAKE ALOT OF SPACE THAT IS WHY I DONT GROW IT ANYMORE I DONT FEEL LIKE HAVING A GARDEN THAT BIG ANYMORE!

[joyce]

I didn't grow any corn this year. Seems like every year about the time it gets silking and tasseling we have a wind storm thru here and it gets beat to the ground.

There's a man about a mile down the road grows the peaches and cream corn and then another kind called silkless. When you shuck it practially every silk comes right off. It taste just as good as peaches and cream. I'm gonna get a few dozen ears from him to put up on the cob.

I was just joking with ya earlier owl when I said Ouch.

I did plow the south garden this morning and did nothing but cause a dust storm. Sure is getting dry here even though we got a good rain last Friday, there is no moisture in the ground.

[froggie]

My goodness you are in need of rain Joyce. I wish I could send some to ya,we have alot here,flooding in parts even. MamaOwl knows you were joking,I was joking with her & her with me too,we are crazy like that LOL. I havent heard of silkless corn but that would be nice when shucking bushels of it.

[Owl]

YEAH I WAS JOKING WITH YOU FROGGIE, BUT YOU REALLY COULD PUT OUT A SMALL GARDEN AND I BET THE KIDS WOULD GET KICK OUT OF PLANTING AND TENDING A SMALL GARDEN NOT TO MENTION IT WOULD GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO DO, LITTLE MAN HELPS ME SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO WATCH AND GIVE THEM DIRECTIONS ON WHAT TO DO! AND I KNOW THAT JR WOULD REALLY LIKE IT , NOT SURE ABOUT JESSICA CAUSE SHE WOULD GET HER HANDS DIRTY ( GOD FORBID) OR JENNA EITHER!MAYBE NEXT YEAR YOU CAN HAVE A GARDEN WITH BEANS AND TOMATOES AND LETTUCE, NOT HARD TO DO JUST TIME CONSUMING!!!!

[joyce]

Yea I think we are gonna have to get HB to do his rain dance again for this neck of the woods. It worked last time after several attempts. ;D

When it gets good daylight. I'm watering the south garden. they speak of a chance of rain now for Tuesday. They'll change it a dozen times before then.

[Owl]

I AM GOING TO WATER THIS MORNING TOO JOYCE, WE MIGHT GET RAIN TODAY TOO BUT GOING TO WATER TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE
