Keeping On Gardening


     Well, I'm keeping on gardening here. I brought in a handful (about a pint or so) of blueberries last week. My root crops are coming up , all except my 'sang. My maters are putting out some small fruits and peppers are still in flower.

     Once again I seem to have waited too long to purchase some supplies as potting soil, garden soil, compost & manure and peat moss have all but been removed from the corral @ Wally World. I'm depending on grass clippings and such to make my 16 cubic yards of brown dirt better for gardening.
     I'll be getting my 6' x 6' of okra started soon as well as what I'm calling "my salsa garden". It'll be leftover tomato seeds, tomatillo and peppers (mild bells to habaneros).  Among my roots I have some green onions and garlic to add to my salsa.
     The herb garden is going swimmingly. I'm keeping an eye on the herb plants for sale @ work waiting for them to go on clearance sale so  I can fetch up a few more plants.

     On a different note, I fired up Black Beauty, my smoker the other day for some hog ribs. The license plate I used to patch the hole in her back worked just fine!

     I'll be back at work tonight to fetch home a few more filters full of coffee grounds to mix in with my dirt and keep adding to my raised bad gardens. Hey! I grabbed a few watermelon seeds from the produce prep area a few weeks ago, where they slice and chunk for pre-cut melons and such. I've now got a half dozen or of watermelon sprouts.
