Summertime

Wow, I can't believe it's already summer. We've been pretty busy around here. Colt and Scout made a garden. Colt bought the plants. We have squash, okra, peppers, and tomatoes, so far. I'm rooting cotton and gourd seeds. The garden is small but we can always add on. Right now it is just the right size for a low maintenance garden.

We mulched with newspaper and straw. It keeps the weeds down and cuts out the hoeing and weeding. The layers of paper and straw keeps moisture in the ground better. By the end of summer the papers will decompose enough to be turned under in the garden and turn into mulch again.

Everything is growing around here. The cane has sprouted up over my head. The guys laughed when I said that. "That's not very high." they laugh, and say. Smarty-pants.

We've been pretty busy running around and playing in the sun. Wait until you see my next project! I think you're going to like it. I'm keeping it a secret until we get it together. I'll give you one hint: think Hoola-hoop
.

AS ALWAYS
