    This mornings smile:



    Look at the size of those mators.





    I haven't had much time for the gardening and the picture taking but I thought I throw these up here for all to see. The harvest has been good and the vegies have been great. Okra is just starting to bear while the mators are fading.

    check out the okra leaves.

    Nice Paw Paw Gene, I am having trouble with my garden I've picked some peppers, tomators and egg plant but not much. Tomators are the worst I've ever grown, I lost 5 pepper plants and had to replant and my eggplants look like they were hit with some type of chemical. It's taken me 3 weeks to get them going after they were almost totally dead but my tomators have never recovered and I'm going to pull them out tommorow. I need to bring a soil sample in and see whats going on. It looks like your garden is doing well.

    I do love my gardening. Things were harder this year to get growing. Although I made some nice tomatoes the quantity is down. All the wind we had earlier really hurt them by knocking off flowers. I had a nice short early crop of snap bean, it got too hot too early this year. Hoping the fall weather is better. Bob, I make my own cow manure. I bag freshly mowed grass clippings and set them in the sun for a month or two. When I open them I get hit in the face with that good ol' cow poop smell. It's wet and slimy at this stage. I dump it in the garden to dry and then till it in. It better than anything you can buy and it's free. It's turned my hard packed black clay into fine garden soil. By the way Mike, the figs trees are doing great. I want to try to make it to Mr. Richards in a few weeks when his figs are ripening to check them out. When I go, I'll give you a call.

    There is alot of farm land around Iota, and the local farmers should have been flying 2,4-d on thier rice several weeks ago. 2,4-d will kill most broadleaf plants and with all the wind we had a few weeks back, 2,4-d, according to a guy that works with me that just got out of farming, can travel airborne for up to a mile, so it is very possible that part of your garden got zapped.
