Feeling Chillin'

Cliff's garden (ha!)

After a couple of garden-free years around here, mostly due to annual droughts and tomato blight that discouraged me, Cliff took over the gardening last year.

For some reason, cucumber beetles did not kill his vines; tomato blight, although it did appear, didn't manage to wipe out his plants entirely. 

This year once again, Cliff decided to garden.  But somehow I've become involved.  Running the rototiller hurts my knees, but I've done it several times.  I planted corn.  I set out the tomato and pepper plants.  I hilled the taters.  Cliff did the initial tilling (which is the hardest part) and planted the early crops.

So I think I'll stop calling it Cliff's garden.  Look what I brought in from OUR garden today!


A handful of radishes.

Let's see if my claiming half the garden jinxes it.

    I always enjoy your annual mushroom hunting exploits. And a garden too! You two never cease to amaze me.  I wish I had half your energy.
