I just finished for the day in the garden, 5 hrs.. WOW, Never plant Lima beans, WOW are they hard to get off the fence they grew on.. Also all the squash is cleaned up and hauled off. WOW was that a lot of work, I sprayed down a gal of fake round up and now I have to wait for my Burpee order to get here. I just love Burpee gift cert for Christmas..
I tried to clean up one of the tomatoes that sorta survived but I made a mess of it. I think I will wait to clean up the other 4 for a week till I see how much of it is dead. the Burssle sprouts loved it and have no dammage that I can see.
Time for my afternoon nap.. My hands and arms are killing me after all that work. I have 3 crushed disks in my lower back so I have to get down on my butt to work on the garden. It’s great till I get stuck and have to grab my tools to get up or I have to craw to the fence and pull myself up.. Being disabled sucks but I am sorta liking being retired after climbing telephone poles for 34 years.. I think I am getting used to this “RETIRED” thing!
Take care everyone!
Come on BURPEE...
P.S. I also got some SWEET MEAT squash I am going to try. They look sorta meaty..
Sweet Meat winter squash is a regional favorite in the N/W corner of Calif. It’s our favorite for punkin pies but our temps are only warm enough to grow them one year out of three so we have to buy some from the farmers a little further in from the coast in the off years. Territorial Seeds in Ore has them.
