I use a fork ... no , not the kind you eat with , a big 4 tine
made of cast metal . Loosens the soil so you can sift thru it to get
the bulbs out .


i broke one of those here the first 5 minutes
i was trying to dig potatoes out of the clay.
we don't bother growing them any more (Ma hates
the bugs and we don't eat that many of them
anyways).

luckily most of the gardens i grow veggies in
have improved a great deal since those early years.

how's the addition going?

We've been cooking in there for about a week now , I sure do like this new
stove . The Missus likes the dishwasher ... but then she's the one that was
doing them by hand in that teeny tiny camper sink .
I'll be running the water/drain lines for the W/M and vent for the dryer
tomorrow . Shoulda run the power today but I decided to bake instead . Two
loaves of bread and a dozen cinnamon rolls this afternoon . This morning I
made new legs for a short table we're using as a temporary island and did a
beer run on the new trike we got for the wife . Sure is different from two
wheels !
