    1. :)They were planted last spring but we had problems with them, but it's turned out OK.

  2. I don't care to smell them cooking, but I love to eat them. I always put a tablespoon of sugar in the point when boiling them. I like to eat them with homemade pepper sauce, onions, cornbread, and a glass of buttermilk.

    1. Sounds good but I'd go for strong, black coffee or a beer. :) For some reason I have never liked Buttermilk.

  3. Yep, my garden burned up this past summer. Too Hot and DRY! Couldn't keep enough water on anything. The garlic did OUTSTANDING though, until it got hot. Replanted in October, looking pretty good now. Harvest in June.

  4. Very nice. My gardening pretty much came to a halt this year. I haven't even put in a winter crop. Something gone wrong with my body. No, not the C-word. I've dragged myself from Dr. to Dr. The very frustrating part is they have all said they can help but then they don't. This latest one will be the last. Eff 'em. I'll reckon I'll live on pain pills. Goodbye liver, so long kidney. Prayers welcome.

    2. I wonder what all these doctors have come up with on a diagnosis.
      And, why are they not helping if help is realistic.
      Such a shame.
      Re: collards - yumm. Will be great for St. Patrick's Day.

      United States of America.

  5. Sorry Mr. Brock, never did acquire a taste for collard greens and also okra. My Alabama born ex wife and her family ate them all the time and would tease me about not eating them. I do love breaded, deep fried pickles tho... and got to liking catfish when from the Pacific Northwest would throw them back.

      Do you mean those who were fishing threw them back?

    2. Yup, we was high bred, we ate only trout, sturgeon, bass and sun fish and of course salmon and halibut which I use to go deep sea fishing off of the coasts. Catfish was/is considered a trash fish much like squaw fish. Some ate them but I can tell you most didn't. I like them now.
