You have no idea how hard I laughed or how wide I smiled at your description of the US Army as 'socialist.' Imagine! A government-funded multinational enterprise that had limitless budget, employing tens of thousands of troops and admin staff, bankrolling defence, technical and transport staff and industries. Socialism in the USA, who knew? Hahahaha. Nice one.
Droool!! My beans are only just germinating here in Ohio, and it's going down to 40 in the next couple of nights, so they could well rot in the wet ground and need replanting. But seeds are cheap and hopes are high. I am eating myself silly on asparagus, though, which I daresay is something that won't tolerate Louisiana summers. So. Love this post.
Following your lead….the boys have built me (and filled with “Coast of Maine Raised Bed Mix Lobster and Clamshell Mix”) 5 raised beds on account of my failed back. Each is 3.75 ft. X 2 ft x 10 ft. All wrapped now in chicken wire because of our ongoing Holy War with the rabbits..Total game changer. Hope you are well out here.
A feast fit for anyone, anywhere.

It used to annoy my dad to no end when I described the army that way: but he’s come around in his old age :-)
Yep, even in the middle of CA, we are about 2 weeks behind you. I’m ready for my very expensive tomatoes to ripen!
Yeah the $64 tomato!
Cherry tomatoes are cheaper in the sense there are more of them and they’re faster to mature. :-)
But really, the price of a home grown tomato is simply the cost of patience and the occasional plucking of pests. Money doesn’t come into it.
Here in North Texas we are about a month behind you on our garden production.
I want me some of those yummy vegetables! The trees are still leafing out here and it’s been raining for a week.
Come on down! We’ll give you a neat red hat to wear!

Country folks can survive! Been my motto for years. The one benefit to growing up poor is knowing how to eat from the land. Beautiful garden!
