Texas Spring/Summer Thread

[Kyle_in_Tex]

Planted red potato spuds last week. Tilled the garden and actually sweated yesterday in the 80 degree plus weather. Then we planted a few strawberries, 'maters, and some onion bulbs next to the 1/2 grown onions. Oh, and I dug some holes and planted some asparagus crowns about a mower's width outside the garden.

We were expecting rain yesterday and today, but nothing so far.

Those of you growing asparagus: Do the deer not like it? I'd grow some, but where I would need to plant it, the deer would have a feast, unless it is something they normally do not enjoy.

I was lazy today ... I guess I have been putting in long days and today I just layed around and did nothing but chores ... I'm just plain feeling guilty!!

My Dogwood Trees blossomed out last week. Don't ever burn dogwood in a barbeque pit. Don't ask me how I know.

Ditto here. Just mucked out the ducklings cage. Then I took a nap, while waiting on the rain. Which I am still waiting on.

Ron,
Since it's you, okay. First time we took my parents to my new MIL's house. Dad and I were charged with keeping the brick barbeque pit's fire going. We found cut to length firewood and fed the fire. Next thing we knew............we were being smoked out with the most putrid smell I ever smelled.

We got that wood out of the fire and quenched it just as my MIL came out of the house asking who put the Dogwood in the fire. We explained we just added the wood cut and stacked inside the barbeque shed to the fire.................."THAT'S DOGWOOD", was her reply:mur::yuck::duh:ullinghair::muttering::melodramatic:
hugs, Brandi

Spring = pigs and snakes.
Whipper was too worn out throwing snakes around to chase the 33 pigs off.
Anybody missing their pigs?

Fg19, I think Whipper keeps the deer out of the asparagus because I only have a 4' fence around them.

That's what I thought, but if it stinks so bad why would she have it for firewood?
