God smiled on us again. All we got here was moderate wind, heavy rain and we had quarter size hail for a couple minutes. There were 4 tornadoes within 25 mile radius of us. One of them a couple miles south of the grandkids

I am SO glad to hear you're OK. Earlier I was reading that at least 16 people were killed by tornadoes ripping through Kentucky and Ohio. ;(

Got my peppers and tomatoes planted today... mostly... Now I need to find space for cucumbers and the rest of my beans.

Sop far we have planted tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and sweet potatoes. Next will be green beans and cantaloupe, then spinach and kale.

Rained early this morning. Sun is out now and high in the upper 80’s. Storms predicted again, oh joy.

Afternoon Yard!

It finally stopped raining enough to do some yard work. I got some salt thrown out on my driveway in the back of the property. The darned thing was so overgrown last summer that I should have used a brush hog to clear it. If it was drier I would burn off whats left. Vinegar and epsom salt killed some of it but there is some persistent stuff that just keeps growing.

A little too close to William Tecumseh Sherman tactics but it should work

Tom, not sure if you know, but sweet potato greens sautéed/stir fried with a little minced garlic are one of the tastiest vegetables you'll ever eat! Right up there with sautéed pea vines. We tend to throw the best and most prolific parts of these vegetables away!

You try pouring boiling water on it?

Howdy folks. We are alive and well after the strong storm and nearby tornado. We lost power and the internet and it just came back a short time ago.

Josh, thanks for the food tips.

Glad you're safe!

And

Waste not, want not

VERY glad Y’all are safe and sound. We were fortunate again, wind and quite hard rain for about an hour, then drizzle for a couple more then nada.

I heard from Ray. He’s having some medical problems but says he is on the mend. Praying for a full and successful recovery. His bride needs supervision!
