How does your garden Grow?

The garden is doing pretty well considering most everything is from seed. The white and read radishes are growing well. The lettuce is up. We have been eating the onions in salads. We planted about 23 different tomato plants including heirloom, cherry and plum tomatoes. Also green and orange peppers. The cucumber, yellow and green squash started from seed is doing very well. Chuck planted some okra seed today and 5 more tomato plants, 4 asparagus plants and my herb plants. I have Italian and curly parsley, basil and a couple others that I can't remember. Chuck was over in the other small garden area today and found curly parsley growing apparently its a perennial and not annual. Since we haven't had any rain in a couple of days Chuck was out there watering tonight. Rain is predicted for Friday. Most of the long weekend will be nice. We are staying home and will have company coming on Friday and Sunday. Hope to have a cookout on Saturday the usual hot dogs and hamburgers and maybe some brots.

Company

Last week we had the pleasure of having some old friends from our Navy days visit for a couple of days. They were on their way back from Vt and MD visiting family. Unfortunately, they could only stay from Wednesday - Thursday. They had a 16 hour drive to get back to the Austin, TX area where they live. They loved our mountain home and would love to buy a place nearby. We took them down to Dale Hollow Lake about 12 miles from our mountain home in Byrdstown. The lake is high after all that rain 2 weeks ago and was overflowing into the parking lot. There is a restaurant on a floating dock there and a large marina and also a state park to camp the other side of the marina. Anyway, Bob and Kathy will be making the trip again next year and plan on stopping through on the way to and back from MD.

Mothers Day I got breakfast in bed compliments of my husband. Late afternoon we went to the lake and had a steak dinner. Son Stephen always sends money evry year for birthdays and mothers and fathers day so dinner was on him. It was a great day although a little cool had to wear a light jacket. The weather has since warmed up. We are looking forward to the day when we can purchase a used pontoon boat and be out on the lake.

Been busy planting in the garden we still have seeds to plant and I want to plant my herb garden. I hope we get alot more tomatoes this year than last. Our neighbors let us pick tomatoes from their garden as well as pole beans, greens, cabbage and okra. We hope to put up more peaches this year peaches should be ready next month.

Short Shopping/Vacation to Ft Campbell Ky
