Randomly hmmm. I have put a lot of money into my garden this year. I hope it makes good. I had to have a guy come break up the ground for me, cuz I don't have a tractor yet. I didn't start anything from seed except the beans, peas, corn and cucumbers. I bought cherry and pear maters plants and the other plants I bought were several other varieties of maters, Gypsy and banana peppers, zucchini and straight neck squash and cantaloupe. Thing that is all. Hope my gourds come up when I get them planted. I'm late on that but we'll see.

I've tilled and planted seed. Dug and tapped plants. I have a lot of sweat equity in this as well. I know if the garden does well, I have a lot more work and sweat equity to go to get stuff picked, prepped, canned and frozen. If God will send the rains it should all do great. I'm praying he gives me the strength to work 12 hr days and come home and process the garden.

If not, then next year it will all be bought at the farmers market. I use to grow a great garden, but haven't really had a real garden in several years. It sure makes me miss Pop during gardening season. We were a lot of help to each other, and his knowledge well he knew all the right gardening stuff.
