I should have told my husband he was in charge of rustling up some dinner last night. I was so pooped from working in the garden all day I could hardly move! But I did manage to make BLTs for us to eat and then, wouldn't ya know, got an extra boost of energy, stayed up too late working on inside things.

We have some planted from 2 years ago, and it's produced nice harvests.<br /><br />Rhubarb crunch......oh dear, I'm drooling........and now hungry......grrrrr.......I'm going to have to sneak up to your place and steal your crunch.<br /><br />Have fun planting your potatoes!!! I need to go out and dig up two tires of potatoes. The plants have died off and I need to see if we have potatoes or if they died off because of the rain.
