Remembering Robert on this 4th of July. (And a little about flowers, herbs, pumpkins, corn, and fishing)

The little boat Robby is pushing has a tray where the crawfish are dumped from the crawfish trap. Do you see the purple sack…

Well, YES it IS a laughing matter or just call it Southern Engineering. That is exactly what it looks like. (You may have to enlarge the picture to see all the string.) We borrowed large poles from Jackie and Bobby and strung up the wind-blown corn with string. We only worked on the three worst…

Pumpkins, Corn, Moles, Flowers, Fishing, and “Can goats learn”
Oh my heavens! Look how fast the pumpkins are growing. They have doubled in size in three days. Since size is hard to determine, I put my fist next to the pumpkins. In the second picture, the pumpkin was the size of a grapefruit (or the same size as the pumpkin in the first picture)…

Time to finish up with the Garlic, update birds, and sunflowers
The garlic has been hanging in the dark barn for two weeks. The stems have dried and it is time to finish the harvest. We start by clipping the roots and stems off leaving about an inch of the stem, then we remove just the outer muddy coat from the garlic pods. Now we will…
