Health isn't just what you are eating.  It is what you are thinking and saying.

  Darel had a good day yesterday.  With freeze up looming i couldn't stop to take him hunting but Raymond Freeman visited for quite awhile and they told hunting stories.

    A 125 foot row of garlic is planted next to the blackberries.  I saved exactly enough garlic for planting to have just enough left for us.  That is guessing a little too close for comfort.  The individual cloves were large this ear so each pound of garlic had less cloves to plant.  I got the space between the berries and garlic mulched with hay and cardboard.  i planted it where the green beans had been.  Pulling the bean vies left the ground easier to dig in the plant.  I had thought maybe i should have planted the garlic earlier when i could have tilled.  But yesterday a garlic grower told me he was concerned about his garlic with the inches of rain we've had the last few weeks.  The rest of that section of garden was tomatoes and peppers.  The dead plants are all in the compost pile and the plastic they were planted in is in the dumpster.  It was getting dark as I drove the tractor to the house.

    I still have odds and ends to do today including cutting the Brussel sprouts. I'm hoping the morning showers will wash off the snow.  

   Tonight is bean supper night so Darel will get out today.  Have a good day, Sally
