Did you ever have one of those days?"},"content":{"rendered":"

Yesterday was mine! Our big refrigerator died, Crystal, our sweet donkey died, my computer died, Will’s big tractor, with him in it, rolled down the hill and into the garden fence and the cows got into the Wolf Garden when I was in there dusting potatoes for potato bugs. I felt like going to bed and pulling the covers over my head. (I chased cows on the golf cart and on foot and finally had to come home to get Will and the dogs while they walked about, eating corn, beans, and carrot tops.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Here are some of the potatoes I’ve been dusting. They’re blooming and growing bigger every day, after being hilled three times.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

But Will and the dogs got the cows out of the garden before any major damage was done and today, I took the computer to Tech Bytes in Eveleth, Minnesota and Justin got it fixed in about two minutes! Neither Will nor the tractor was hurt. So, today is looking a lot better. I know everyone has those days but boy, did I feel smacked yesterday!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The tomatoes are looking great and we even have a few ripe ones.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our super-hot-for-us weather has let up and today it’s sunny and only 70 degrees F, with a nice breeze. I’ve got to go out to the Wolf Garden and check the potato bug situation. And you can bet I’ll be sure to close the gate! Those darned cows came running up out of the woods and right into the garden. They must have been watching! Overall, the gardens look good. We’ve even got a few ripe tomatoes! The onions are starting to bulb up and the Costata Romanesco summer squash bushes have squash on them. I can’t wait to fry up a few of those soon!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The beans and onions received liquid manure tea and are looking better already.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
