Happy, happy.
We've been warm, too, recently. Greens are all bolting and onions
are blooming. At least this most recent front brought a little rain to
these parts, ahead of the chilly temps. Have garden peas coming along
with more just emerging.

Our greens are still producing, including lettuce, spinach, etc. The
Swiss chard was planted two years ago and is still producing. It's in
full shade after high noon and I suspect that's what keeps it producing.

We planted Truckers Favorite corn Friday afternoon and when it gets
about six inches high we will plant brown crowder peas alongside. After
that we will plant squash around the peas. The old Native American
"Three Sisters." We plant every square inch we can with stuff to eat or
cook with or is just pretty.

Going to middle grandson's place tomorrow and help him build some more
raised beds. He, our son, and our daughter all are gardeners. The other
four grandkids haunt the grocery stores.
