Got NOTHING at all done outside yesterday and we’re all crabby.

Worse than that, a wonderful old friend brought his big old 16’ grain dump truck full of old rotted manure. He backed up to dump it, the truck was off center on the slope, it was loaded unevenly, the wind hit the side and tipped the whole thing over.   Thankfully he’s OK and none of the boys were close to the truck.  60-70 gusts.

FINALLY got the Planet Jrs going on the tractor today. We are SO late planting. Switching gears and going into tractor mode has been time consuming even though it should pay off in time…    We just went back out to work at 2 and I think we’ll actually get something done today.  One on tractor and one with the push planter following the little furrows where they buried the T-tape.

You’ll love the turnips!  As someone mentioned, they taste like apples!

I just planted some of these turnips on request, looking forward to tasting them.  We have a planting of purple globe top turnips, and I want to compare taste.  I love turnip/cabbage soup so I'm not too concerned if I get to save the purple globe top. :) 

Marcy, surprised you didn't blow away yesterday!  Winds were howling up here.  How do you get anything done outside?  I just cannot.  I watered everything but that was about it.
