Dwight:First rule in roadside beet sales,put the most attractive beets on top. The ones that make you pull the car over and go “wow, I need this beet"

"Those are the Money Beets!"


So stay tuned to see the ever growing garden. Well, I hope it is growing. Nothing green has come up yet. Just a lot of waterin' and the fragrant smell of fresh compost.
I feel like I'm pregnant..well not quite, but I am excited for 15-20 days (not weeks). That is when these little guys should be popping up. It is therapeutic to water each day. I like to think about when I will get the wicker basket (from a thrift store, of course) lined with a linen napkin (not from a thrift store, of course), put my Zucchini Squash and some Zucchini bread in and deliver this care package to the neighbors. Maybe then they will talk to me? Right now, I am just the crazy Mormon Lady, who has those missionaries over and gave birth to a truck load of kids--they are probably just holding their breath to see if I will have four more? Well, they will come with their tongues a waggin' when they want more of my bread. Anyone have a recipe I can use?
You may be wondering why beets, well I am following the Farmers Almanac--of course, and the moon cycle is very important. You all knew that though. So a friend of mine, Danny, is helping me with this "great idea" of mine. And--I watch Martha Stewart every day. So I figure it is just a matter of time before I am making Pesto, Salad, and Corn on the Cob, all from the pickin's that day. I will plant more this Thursday. And, if Dwight can do it, why can't I?

I had no idea you were "expecting"! I am so inspired by you. Will you please come up again and try to rub off on me?

Let me get approval for my loan from the bank so I can fill up the truck with gas and I will be right up.
