Right after we moved into the house, we drove over to see our daughter, Sarah who is 6 months pregnant. She looks great and is so excited. Then we drove down to Charleston, SC to see my 88 year-old mother. She is amazingly spry and can keep up on a 1 1/2 mile walk with no problem. Enjoyed the beach and surf, too.

We have moved in to our new home. Still a few odds and ends to finish. The garden is flourishing. Preparing for insect and fungus problem by having Gardens Alive Shield-All and rotenone/pyrethium on hand.

We are selling about 10 pounds of spring lettuce a week. New potatoes, greens, beets, onions and yellow squash are coming on, too.
Our article in Rural Heritage was in the May/June addition. I am working on another now for Rural, Market Gardening and signed a contract with BackHome Magazine for my article, Finding a Usable Piece of Land. I am not sure when it will be published.

G
oing after the weeds systematically every day makes it much easier. If we weed something everyday, we are not overwhelmed with huge weed patches and the garden is so beautiful.
