Y'all Miss Me?

       I admit it's been a while since I last sat down and blogged. My bad or just a lot has been going on that I figured nobody would give a damn about. Anyway. here's what's happened in no particular order other than that in which I remember it.....

     I got 16 cubic yards of "brown dirt" delivered the other day, $175.00 = $12.25 tax for a grand total of $187.25. I'm putting it where it needs to be one shovel full, one wheel barrow full at a time. God was with me on the delivery as He always is. The day after I got the dirt we had a rather ferocious rainstorm. Had I not gotten the dirt when I did, I am quite sure delivery would have been postponed for quite some time.

     I got my ginseng patch planted. It will be a few years (at least 3 - 5) before I can harvest a root if anything grows and it won't be the high dollar stuff you see on TV where folks are shooting each other over the stuff. This is merely farm raised American 'sang for my own use.

     Also I got my first root garden in the dirt. I'm trying to figure out the old school "planting by the signs" thing. All I can recall hearing is plant root crops in the waning and low moon. Plant above ground crops in the waxing or high moon.

     June 4 was my Dad's birthday. He would have turned 80 years of age.

     My smoker, "Black Beauty" has had a few overly active fires in her. A few weeks ago, I noticed she had a hole in her back side. Being the creative redneck that I am, I went to my shed. Now BB has a new patch on her back side. Should she ever come up missing all I need  do is call the Mississippi Department of Transportation. Her patch is my old license plate!

     God bless and I'll see y'all later.
