On your mark get set go

I rushed home Friday night from work trying to beat the rain that was forecast to begin. I broke down and bought some tomato plants and some more cabbage plants and I wanted to get them in the ground. I know it is early and there is still a chance of frost for another good 3 weeks , the cabbage will be OK but I might have to cover the tomatoes but they are 3 nice plants about 30 inches tall and one is blooming if it does not frost I will have tomatoes in mid June to eat, as I refuse to pay 4 dollars for a flavorless foreign tomato. I can not believe how comfortable it has been this spring for garden work I have most of my garden in here at the house, usually I do not get nothing planted until end of May as my ground lays to wet to till. Here it is April 25 I have beets, turnips lettuce, onions carrots , spinach , radishes, Green beans cabbage and now tomatoes. I still plan for about 100 tomato plants yet as well as sweet corn, cucumbers , squash and with more beans. Most of it will be over in New Carlisle , me and my crew Kenny Ray and my nephews will start all that this week unless the weatherman is right, he hasn't yet this week been right the amount or time of rain. We plan of moving the chickens to grass Sunday after church all 40 looking good and starting to pick it up a notch in eating, all 3 turkeys gaining weight also still 0 losses.

Tari started helping me with my book this week I have done a lot of writing the last month , she is transferring my chicken scratch to the computer and editing what I have already typed myself.

I do have to keep reminding her not to take out all the briar out of the stories as it changes the feel of the story to much in my opinion. I have enjoyed her help this week.
