It has been raining almost everyday for over a week now. The weather has severly limited any possibilities of working in the garden. The weeds are growing ever taller, and the grass is out of control. At least I don't have to water anything.
My sweet potato row
I lucked out last week and was able to get the sweet potatoes planted and mulched. I planted 200 Beauregard slips that we ordered from Johnny's. We are addicted to sweet potatoes in this house, and they're Thurgood's favorite. He knows from the moment I put a raw sweet potato in the oven that he'll be getting the skin later that evening.
I found this lizard under the mailbox. He was so well-camouflaged that I almost picked him up while I was weeding. We have a ton of five-lined skinks out here, but I haven't seen these guys before.
Does Thurgood wait by the oven?
ReplyDeleteThurgood waits by the oven every time I'm baking sweet potatoes. Without fail. He also waits by the oven when I bake mac & cheese, dog treats, and enchiladas.
