We are back.

The weather was crazy when we left last Friday! It rained so hard we couldn't hardly see the front of the hood on the truck. And we went through several storms like that. It mostly rained in some form every day we were gone. Louisiana had a tornado watch until that Saturday, but we didn't see any damage from that, so we were blessed.

Brought our youngest son back with us as there aren't many jobs in NC, and certainly none where we used to live.
Didn't take a lot of pictures there, but have taken a few here.


This is some garlic that I did not pull up before I realized that garlic needs to grow a full year before harvest. At least, that is what I read somewhere.


We've redone the grape supports this year, for the space that hubby gave them. We'll see if we did good or need to rethink entirely.

Redid the potato tower, too. Now it's basically two raised beds like this, with peas.


And yes, we still have the redneck planters, too. Trying celery again, though it gets much too hot here, so I'm not sure why. That is a garlic that we kept too long.
The other planter, the lilies are growing, and I planted some marigolds.
The bin in lower right that I did not take a picture of, for reasons that escape me right now; I planted a couple of tomato seeds in, some purple beans and some carrot seeds. We'll see how it goes.

Hope you are all doing well. I know the weather is still crazy!
Have a great Friday!

  2. When the garlic green lays down and turns brown, it is ready.

  3. We're not planting yet. The weather has been terrible here with snow and ice all winter and last night severe weather that damaged 94 homes and condemned 20- in town. We were in the path but it veered just north so we received only rain but enough to flood. If it's not one type of weather, its another.
