We had a dry spell, when I cursed the heavens. And now it's coming back to get me. Buckets of rain for four days now. Very, very squishy. Our gas has yoyoed from a low of $3.60, to 3.95, to 3.90. I notice that it goes up every weekend. Greedy buggers.

I'm hesitant to even get the cool weather crops going in this consistently 40-something weather. The seeds will get chilblains, shrivel up and die! <br /><br />Yep, these next few weeks are ALWAYS too busy what with trying to get everything in!Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-36393364063452069052013-05-19T11:33:57.417-05:002013-05-19T11:33:57.417-05:00DFW - Nope, you don't have to be jealous.

The ones in the picture that we're working on are set up on the new frames for our screened protection for the cabbage moths.

I was fussing at $3.85.<br /><br />Those blueberries look wonderful. Mine are sad, I've replaced 3 this spring and they are so slow to grow. PH is fine so I'm stumped!Katididshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15568618127371786808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-18298553727131600492013-05-19T02:01:34.593-05:002013-05-19T02:01:34.593-05:00I thought gas was bad here at $4.05 .

I've got the busy week ahead--orders coming from all over. And of course, this is the day my neck acts up again. Oy vay!<br />Pace yourself, dear lady.
