How big is your gardening area? It's all raised beds, right?

Three areas for veggies, the fenced in area is about 50x50 feet for
canning, there are no raised beds here good soil. Another area is about
150x75 feet unfenced for corn and extra canning foods, six 4x24 raised beds
in this area. Soil is mostly clay and in bad shape here but getting better.
A kitchen garden box close to my back deck is about 4x12 feet is the salad
garden box. In the back fields about two acres of dent corn and three apple
trees.

Wow, is that the same as a Crescent Moon Spade? Is this for gardening or
varmints?

For gardening to create natural boards between the flower beds and the
lawn. unless I am missing something here about varmints? It is a half
circle cutting/trench tool for landscaping.

I got a book on
making ones own concrete garden ornaments and hypertufas.
Is that "Creative Concrete Ornaments for the Garden: Making Pots,
Planters, Birdbaths, Sculpture & More by Sherrie Warner Hunter"?

Yep that is the book. Do have that book also? I have not yet made anything
from it yet. Does the formulas work? I wonder if the concrete holds up
during the cold winters? I wonder if I would be wasting my time and money
on this.

What? Is that because it is stainless steel or porcelain?
I am lost here?

What do you do if Bessy's baby is a bull? Any pot roasts in your future?
Then it would become a steer.

Don't forget to go swimin', and smell the roses.
I am too fat and ugly to be seen in bathing suit and I hate roses
