Yeah, I finally got him out to the back yard to get a bit of sunshine! It’s getting warm – about 25 here today (80ish).
He enjoyed helping. Got him to drive stakes in the beds, fill buckets with water, snap the leaves off the rhubarb stalks ( that was too much – won’t ask again), carry some bedding plants. (Chopped and froze 6 cups – recipe for a great rhubarb T-bread on the recipe blog.)
I treasure all the 2″ x 2″ stakes he made for me years ago. If I asked, he made it – no problem. I have 6′ tall stakes for our snap peas and the wire fences for the regular peas. A lot of his 1″ row markers are breaking but they are 18 years old.
Put his chair under the cherry trees – the blossoms are falling now – too bad as they are so beautiful – and he loves them.
Hope everyone had a nice day – we did.

Nothing like some gardening to clear the mind and feel productive. I just made some squash from our garden last night, and blossoms are on the tomatoes. Summer is around the corner! Love, A
I want to move to Texas! I just planted our garden – it will be 3 months to harvest.Sure tastes good right from the garden, though.
I cut my first rhubarb this week. I checked out your recipe and it looks yummy!
Oh, I LOVE rhubarb. My step-mother used to grow it, and I would get some every year–but she gave up her garden, so no more rhubarb, unless I go to the market and buy it.
