Good morning and how is everybody today? We hope you all had a great weekend and are getting off to a good start for the week ahead!
You know our garden has come and gone, and it was kinda a rough spring this year in regards to our garden. We just had little to no rain, but it looks as if now we are indeed getting into our normal afternoon rain pattern. It was a long time coming this year for some reason.
I guess since the rains are starting now, we’ll begin prepping our garden for some okra. This is really all we’ll be planting as we’re coming into summer, and this means…HOT!
This week, we’re going to till the garden deeply a time or two, then start covering it again in cow manure. Once we get it covered, I believe I’m going to pick up a few bales of hay, and just lightly spread this over the garden area.
Then, we’ve had a compost pile in the makings for the last 4 months or so, and we’ll spread this over as much of the garden as we can. We’ll then turn this in, maybe a couple, three inches deep, and see what happens. I’m looking forward to checking this out as we go along.
I’ve mentioned this earlier, but I’d never had or used compost before, so this was all new to Deb and I. We built a little holding area for our compost, and this stuff is really beginning to look really very good. I don’t know about anybody else we know, but I’m sure impressed with the progress of our compost.

‘Ridin Out The Recession With Dub and Deb in “Miz Judi’s Kitchen’!
Note to Readers: There are a few things that Dub doesn’t know but one thing he does know is that the word ‘Riding’ (as in Riding Out the Recession) is spelled with a ‘g’ at the end. But Dub not only walks the walk, but speaks like he is: down home, true blue, and plain speakin’ country folk.
Dub and Deb are both native Floridians, live in Central Florida, and run a small business as well. They have five children, and seven grandchildren.
Both love to cook, love to laugh, grow a garden, and generally try to “aggravate” most anyone around them basically…all in good fun, of course!
