Your barn and coop beginnings are looking good. I'm sure most of the credit goes to your on-site advisor.


Those are special times you and your grandson are having. Being together is time well invested.

Yep, I think so. I try to spend as much time with him as I can. My son and I do a lot with him, My daughter said if he grows up hanging out with you guys he will be tough as a lighter knot LOL. He's at the age now were he is real impressionable, my daughter says yall even sit just alike, But he is good help, eager to learn and very smart for just under 3 years old. I did my son this way, took him everywhere, had him hooked to my belt loop and he turned out great.

Managed to get all my peppers in the ground, Bell, banana, and jalapeno. I started with 6" plants, and planted them deep. Also sowed 2 rows of Kale. took a pic of the Asparagus bed, its really coming on good now. I got the corn field disc for the final time, calling for rain today, but sometime this week I will get the white corn, yellow corn, and Okra in the ground.

Fishing with my grandfather are some of the best memories I have of him.

Fishing with My grandpa was also special. He had a cabin cruiser on Barneqat Bay near Toms River, NJ at their summer home. I learned how to fish and clam and crab with Grandpa. At 63, I can remember every single detail of our visits back east to them. LOVE!

Everything that went In the ground 2 weeks ago got bit hard with the last frost we got. So I took the tiller to it, and I'll direct sow the Kale In the garden this go around. My tomatoes and peppers are ready to go in, I need to let them harden off another couple days. Going to start my cucumbers and Zucchini this week, plus get both yellow and white corn planted along with my Okra. hopefully before the end of the month, everything will be In the ground, including my purple hull peas and Blue lake bush beans.

On a different note....My concrete for my new 30'x30' barn got poured on Wednesday, guy said they should have the barn up in 2 weeks.

Me and my partner in crime got some work done on the chicken coop, he's ready to feed the chickens and the rabbits Lol. He's good help, pays attention, and loves a drill.

Those rows are so straight and precise!
Looks like you snapped a line and used a straight edge.
I'm taking notes...mine usually look like they were formed by a tipsy monkey wearing a blindfold.

Its a complex Lol, I will work on something twice as long just so its straight and level. My boy says I'm weird like that, but I like a clean garden.

Family tradition-crooked rows-as Dad always said you can get more in a crooked row.
