But we would love to save some for later in the summer…

We finally got our tiller back together. I tilled and re-tilled and planted Friday, Saturday after market, and even on Sunday. I rarely work on Sunday, just cause it ain’t right. But I did anyway and also on Monday till dark..

Monday evening, I was beginning to wonder why I worked through the weekend and was still working close to dark Monday evening.

Then the lightening bugs started firing off everywhere. I had just finished planting 6 200+ feet rows of Limbercob heirloom corn that a a couple from Lincoln Co. had shared with me. The corn is in late, we we see what it does. Stuff like that keeps us doing what we do.

Monday night, to quote some guys I used to work with up around Cullowhee, NC, ” They hell, it fell a flood” We got 1.6 inches in about 30 minutes. We appreciate it but geez…
