Simple is buying one plant and sticking it in the dirt; using a watering can eliminates wasted water.
vaughnrl2003 – we got creamed again! The storm hit my house @ 03:45 and it was mild here compared to south side. The big warning how is flooding; our rain total is 4-6” in 3-4 hours: hail and wind did a number to power poles. One of the storm chasers is locked in his street – looking at piles that broke at base and are angled at 10-15 degrees going across the road. The other result is water rescues.
Yeah, it’s kind of expensive trying to save a few bucks on tomatoes and carrots that I don’t really want anyway. The price of the tractor and plow alone is prohibitive. I tried to harness up the dogs to a shovel, but the SPCA got involved and there was a whole thing. I suppose it’s the salad bar for me.
Being rookies moving to deer country….we built a 40 X 20’ vegetable garden with a 6 ft fence which the deer promptly jumped over & ate all our newly planted garden. We tore that down & put up a 9 ft fence which they couldn’t jump over. Very expensive tomatoes….lol. Wasn’t funny at the time. Then the next spring, the gophers found our garden, ugh, then when we discovered a rattlesnake in there, we moved.

$350.00 for that one tomato you will get, and that’s on top of the water bill.

All of above to tell you to check on your people.

Can’t afford food until the “crops” come in a couple of months. That’s real farming.

Ergo, it takes a lot of folding green to have a green thumb.

Um … define “simple”, comic Cathy.
Versus the everyday craziness of life? OK. But … yeah. Only our favorite Whack-a-Doodle, huh? [smile]
HI, MOM. Happy Sunday, “Cathy” Clan.
