An Update on Gardening

Oh...I'll look into that, Dex! Thanks!

No problem.

Last night I picked 2 peppers from my garden. They were about the size of a baseball. I'm going to cut them up,and put them in my freezer. My pumpkin vines are starting to get very tiny pumpkins on them. I'm really excited about about how well the garden is doing. I am concerned about the Indian corn though. It's about 3 feet tall, but it doesn't have any tassels on it, or starts of developing corn cobs. Just have to wait and see on those.

Don't forget that if you want large pumpkins, you have to pluck off some of the flowers on the vine that are growing pumpkins right now.  That way all of the nutrients go to the ones already growing.  Same goes for any vine plant.  Happy growing!


I trimmed my bushes in the front yesterday.  I'm sure they look like hell!  haha Oh and I don't claim to be blonde all that often but I did yesterday.  I couldn't figure out why my grass never seemed to be short enough.  I had moved the deck on my front tires down to the lowest setting.  Yeah and didn't realize I had to do that with the back tires!  DUH!  I'll get this whole house upkeep thing down to a science before I die!

LOL!!!! Thanks for the tip on the pumpkins, I didn't know that.  I have the same mechanical problems you do. I have no clue how all that stuff works. I know how to start the mower,engage the blades, and mow with it. If it doesn't idle down enough before you turn the key off, it back fires real loud.  That's about the time hubby comes running over and says"You need to let it idle down longer, before you turn the key off."  I'm brunette by nature and blond by choice LOL!!!! So, I guess I'm a dingy brunette.

Now that is a great saying!

When somebody tells a dumb blond joke to me I say," If I wasn't a blond by choice, I might be insulted by that." You ought to see the look on people's faces!!!    Then they usually bust out laughing. Us blonds gotta be quik with a comeback you know.
