I have just rolled back from the table where the menu included steamed Norland potatoes, steamed broccoli, boiled corn and cucumber/sour cream salad. I think there was also a pork steak somewhere on the plate as well. Half of mine will make a sandwich to carry in my lunch tomorrow. Gloat? Well, save the hog, all were in the earth or standing on stems within two hours of eating. Almost makes weeding worthwhile. I don't even mind that I did the cooking.
For the curious, my extension agent recommended a strand of electric wire
10" off the ground for the turkeys. No problem, and a friend up the way saw her garden disappear into a turkey wallow, even though it was behind a 4-ft conventional fence.Also got a word from a friend combining about 4 miles away of a fallen field border cherry, allegedly of some size. Tomorrow. Too full tonight.
