Today while pouring over her math assignment my youngest girl, apparently in a fit of frustration caused by subtraction and borrowing, let out a defeated sigh and uttered these words;
"I wish I had an Easy Button."
Me too, my girl. Me too.
Me too, my dear

Morning Harvest
Tuesday, August 4, 2009
What's with those wimpy carrots? I really don't know. I've never been able to grow a decent carrot or beet. I'm still trying to figure that out. The squash borer annihilated my squash and zucchini so I replanted a late crop to see what happens. I think the cucumber beetle is wreaking a little havoc on my cucumbers too but they are still producing so we'll see who wins the day... me or the cucumber beetle. No wagering please.Other than those few problems the garden is growing and producing like mad! I get about this many tomatoes, green beans and cucumbers PER DAY! Whew! We also get about 5 eggs from the ladies a day so that makes for a LOT of omelets... even for our big family!
I am a gardener! Who knew?
