Since I've got to abandon the About Me page until I can figure out what to do, I'll entertain you with a picture of my vegetable garden. This was MH's idea. He brought home a canning and freezing cookbook after he got the garden all planted. All I could think of was what my poor mother used to do when my dad brought home bushels of vegetables for her to "put up". She waited until his truck was out of sight and then she'd heave the contents of the bushel over the fence for the enjoyment of our Angus cattle. She once told me that cows love purple hull peas. We got out of the cattle business a few years after my dad passed away because there is not one thing about tending to cattle that I enjoy. Now I lease the pasture to a local cattle farmer. I hope he moves them back to the pasture behind my house when that garden starts to come in.
If you click on this photo of my garden (maybe MH's garden is a more accurate description of ownership) to enlarge it, you will see the row crop just beginning to come up in the field behind the garden. That is cotton - my favorite crop! I'll send photos of the cotton as it comes along. When it blooms, some of the blooms are white and some are pink. And I love to see a field full of open bolls just before it is picked. We planted soybeans in this field last year, but I like cotton around my house best.
