Been interesting (read: stressful) times round here lately -- aside from getting away last weekend to marriage conference with my wife.
Car repair upon car repair, friends staying with us losing a baby and so on. Haven't been online line reading or posting as much. Haven't been to the range in weeks. Have a casefeeder for my LNL-AP half setup and not getting it done. Need to modify the cabinet over my bench (sticks out too far and interferes with casefeeder). Yadda yadda. Life's STILL good!
Nice San Dog day today. Got out in the yard with my wife and got busy. She's the pacesetter when it comes to the yard. I always procrastinate. Well I gotta tell ya it was invigorating and refreshing to be out and gettin' 'er done today. I hired a young dad who's out of work to help get field mowed, weeds whacked and a bunch more pruning done than I could have done in a week of evenings.
The cherry on top was getting a few lemons off a young tree and getting my tomatoes in the ground. couple pics
Yeah. Springtime. New planting. Dare I say hope?

Re: Garden therapy
Sounds a lot like "tractor therapy".

Re: Garden therapy
The kind of garden I'd like is one I make using dock floats with the top cut off and some drain holes spread around in the bottom, and set on several saw horses so I can walk around the whole thing (and keeps gophers out of it) tending to the garden veggies. Put some gravel in the bottom and some nice, rich dirt and top soil..........
You can grow most veggies in two feet of soil, but for the corn, I'd want to plant them in the ground so I can walk between the rows picking the corn when its ready.
There's nothing like the taste of FRESH out-of-the-ground carrots, radishes, some green beans on vines, fresh watermelon, lettuce, and TONS of tomatoes.

A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.
