The raised beds are great for places with poor soil, but they do also tend to make the weeding tasks easier. Look at all your basil! Wow! My seedlings are about a half an inch high! I planted my basil quite late.

May God give you strength & wisdom to deal with it.<br />I'm glad you got the opportunity for a ride. You probably needed it.

Smart mouth your parents car keys aren’t yours. Job or not. Leaving without breakfast or a lunch ? Sorry but not our responsibility yours. Some kids need a stronger push of motivation.

You've given your son roots. In spite of him saying I don't want anything, he really does. He always will want (and need) your love and support. And that doesn't mean agreeing to all requests. So wait in the wings, set the alarm clock always (maybe further down the hallway) and watch him spread his wings and grow. <br /><br />Glad that you had a chance to go riding.<br /><br />take careDebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15805091181243118583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-12946771849707952262019-07-19T08:29:46.974-07:002019-07-19T08:29:46.974-07:00Elaine, it keeps the flies and gnats away from the...Elaine, it keeps the flies and gnats away from their eyes (and in Lance's case, ears).<br /><br />LOTS of weeds, Mama Pea; remember, it's all about framing - ha! If you were closer, I'd have kale to share. This morning I have GOT to harvest and freeze some, make a big kale salad for potluck tomorrow, and save some for sautéing – which my guys actually ATE, to my surprise!<br /><br />Thanks for the encouragement and good advice, Tim! Things are worse than what I like to share publicly, but all you can do is pray and keep moving forward.<br /><br />Susan, I've only harvested a few cherry tomatoes so far, but there are a couple red bigger ones that got chewed on by something (not the Early Girls); I need to give those to the chickens this morning. My hooky day was indeed lovely, and helped me feel less hopeless about my horse. Between his cascade of compromising physical issues, my fast-failing dogs, and the hell-bent teen, I feel like I'm losing everything some days....Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-139566525414877322019-07-19T07:13:48.804-07:002019-07-19T07:13:48.804-07:00Very glad you played hooky - you and Lance needed ...Very glad you played hooky - you and Lance needed a break. The only thing producing a 'crop' right now is the kale, but I'll take it. BTW, that kale in the front of the photo is Red Russian. I planted a couple types of the Tuscan variety and the RR. Yum! Now if the tomatoes would just get ripe and if only I could get a zucchini to grow!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573143203599624833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-58441026114898950892019-07-19T05:56:32.356-07:002019-07-19T05:56:32.356-07:00We raised teenage boys.

Eventually they leave home. When they do, immediately rent out their rooms. Our two are now grown up and have turned into fine fellows. It took time. Be cool, keep your distance, and let them have a loose rein. Keep some bail money in the night stand, but don't let them know it is there. Someday, these will be the people who pick out your nursing home room, so cultivate a good relationship. This (horrible teenage time in life) will pass.<br /><br />When I graduated from high school, my mother gave me a set of luggage and said, "I'm sure you will be wanting a place of your own." 'Nuff said. The circle of life continues. Smile and laugh whenever you can.Tim B.

Sigh, someday when I have a hoop house. Maybe. With our gardens situated where we get so much wind, I have fears we'd never be able to anchor it well enough. Funny how teenagers want to do EVERYthing their way . . . except, of course, when they can blame their own lack of responsibility on mom and dad! It's rough being independent and still wanting to be taken care of. ;o)Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-23687072984776824232019-07-19T04:25:42.706-07:002019-07-19T04:25:42.706-07:00Why the masks on the horses?Why the masks on the horses?Retired Knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662288640032813770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-82930588311982384562019-07-18T23:15:16.222-07:002019-07-18T23:15:16.222-07:00Thanks, Leigh, for your encouragement all around. ...Thanks, Leigh, for your encouragement all around. :-)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-35856551144027813172019-07-18T18:04:45.309-07:002019-07-18T18:04:45.309-07:00Choosing a photo angle for the garden is all impor...Choosing a photo angle for the garden is all important! lol.
