It looks like gardening is a little slow with everyone. Everything is slow here also. Madge and I are still dragging around.

I did get out and check the gardens today, it's really hard to stay in the house all the time.

This picture I meant to show how bad the broad leaf mustard was bug eaten, and how little damage the spinach had, but I had to lean a lot and could not see the view finder on the camera, so I messed up the picture, but I was able to get 6 turnips to be eaten within a few days.

Here is where I tried to mow the turnips because they had so many bugs eating them. I don't know what happened, either the bugs gave up before getting to the end of the row, or the wet soil killed my plants, but if it was the wet soil, why did not all the plants die. You can see that my soil stays so wet that it has algae growing on it. The wet soil sure make it hard to get the garden ready in the spring.

These are my best greens. These are curly leaf mustard, they are in the south garden, and seem to have the least bug and frost damage. You can see that the turnips to the right of the mustard looks pretty good also. I was able to get these greens up earlier, which is hard to do because we have water rationing every summer. This is my best drained garden.

I would like to have some more exciting to show you, but it is pretty dull around here, and will get worse, because I don't have any plant protection.
