Today I managed to seed out some tomatoes and watermelons.<\/p>\n<p>Boy do we ever <em>love <\/em>our new currant tomato, Mexico Midget. This tiny tomato sure packs a huge load of flavor. For everyone who has tried it, their eyes pop open and they go &#8220;Wow!&#8221; Will and I included. And with 157 varieties of tomatoes this year, you&#8217;d think we were a bit jaded, right?

It&#8217;s the two worst fields, where you can scarcely tell there&#8217;s any grass out there growing at all. He said he has to cut by looking at his tractor&#8217;s tracks in the grass and even then, he can&#8217;t always tell for certain if it&#8217;s been cut or not. Pretty sad. Then yesterday, he threw a bearing on the haybine so that really slowed him down. Rain&#8217;s coming tomorrow so he&#8217;s madly raking and baling one field, hoping to get done this afternoon. Maybe we can both take a little break tomorrow, if it rains.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9074\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9074\" style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/2021\/09\/30\/well-the-knee-surgery-went-well\/fall_6101-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9074\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9074\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Fall_6101.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Fall_6101.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Fall_6101-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Fall_6101-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Fall_6101-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Fall_6101-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Fall_6101-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Fall_6101-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Fall_6101-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9074\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">We&#8217;re really enjoying our beautiful, warm, fall weather.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&#8212; Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>But boy did it knock me flat!
