I was off of work this past week and got a little bit accomplished. Laid down a lot more pine straw mulch. Still need more. I planted all of the okra, purple hull, and watermelon seeds. As of this morning they are all up! The onions are starting to bulb up pretty good!


Also, first time since the fall, I finally checked on my bees and I discovered that there’s been a supersedure. This is the best picture I could get of our new queen since I was working the hive alone. My wife was at work and she is usually the one that takes the pictures.


I definitely need to stay on top of them so that I can hopefully get a good honey harvest!

I went and checked out Hashagen's farm in Wakefield today. They were only taking cash so I was only able to buy some inland sea oats.

He threw in what he called a Black Krim Cherry that he said is one of his own heirloom varieties and a yellow variety of tomato but I can't remember the name. Cool place and really cool dude to talk to. His daughter has around 150 native wildflower types growing on the property along with a couple of areas of native prarie. She's selling a bunch of native plants. I'll be going back with cash.


I pulled up the dead pepper plant I'd posted about a couple of days ago. Nothing looked wrong with the roots.



I replaced it with a Cherry Bomb pepper plant from Ins and Outs.

Your onions are looking good. I’ll try and get some garden pics this evening. Spent yesterday afternoon in the garden, dodging rain storms, and listening to the A&M Bama baseball game. Did some weed burning with the propane torch (which my son can’t believe they allow people to buy), trimmed tomatoes and put a new line up on the weave, picked sweet peas, and did a sneak peak on the potatoes. I need to pull the carrots and lettuce out to plant the okra. I think my black eyed peas are going to have to wait til the potatoes come out.
