Yes, dogs are mans best friend, i'll have to tie one out near my garden for a few evenings as my scarecrow is slaking off, on his deer patrols as of late. I was worried that a frost got the wild blueberry blossoms, but there appears to be a bumper crop. There are so many wild blueberrys around here i can pick them from the edge of my lawn. The only advantage to having sandy, acidic, poor soil is the wild blueberrys, as i had to haul in many dump-truck loads of old horse manure to build up my lawn and garden so as to grow anything but sandburs.

Again when he was dying of cancer he told our minister and I, that he wants me to have his Gravely so i graciously accepted, with his wife's blessing. After he passed his step son was getting a few choice things, so i went to get the Gravely with the minister, his step son told us to get lost. He had a junkyard come in and scrap it with most everything else, what a waste.

Those junkyard scrappers usually save stuff like that, so hopefully it was. Your machines are built like a tank, glad your still repairing and using them. I got a line on some brand of old rototiller beast, it's not a Gravely but looks to be the same era & build. The guy is going to shout back a price.

The row that did grow had the right amount of moister.
Or some crows, or bluejays hit the row that didn't grow.
I have planted two rows of okra twice, and only one seed has come up so far.

But this is a frog.
It has smoth skin, and the it has the color of the frogs that are near water.
In the bottom of the sink hole is water so that is where it came from ( I think).
