Just planted some tobacco seeds. Late, but we'll see what happens. I've never grown it before so this will be more of a test run anyway.
Whatcha Up To???

Do you smoke???
Puttered in the garden & then watered it & what's left in the greenhouse.

Former co-worker of mine grew tobacco to attract and feed tomato horn worms / tobacco horn worms / hawk moths. He was a little out there.
Started mulching the garden, then watered it, the asparagus bed & the remaining stuff in the greenhouse.
Made bread.
Continued mulching the garden, trying to get as much done before the rain arrives.
Start the 'beginning-of-the-month' chores.

Did the weekly shopping (the adventure in human stupidity continues).
Started raining yesterday about 1800 hrs, by midnight we had received a total of 5.23". At sun up, I saw that we caught a fair amont of run off in the stock tanks.
The rain has started coming down again, almost another 1.82" thus far. I can already see that it's going to be a pain cutting the grass the next time.
Prepped 2 whole eye-of-rounds & vacuum packed them.
Trimmed a whole brisket & ran it through the grinder twice for burgers.

Cut the grass ahead of the rain... it was bad.

Snowed here today... Not unusual.
Listened to that woman from Michigan's press conference. It hurt. Amazed she didn't say something like "We are all Detroit". Strict stay at home order for another 3 weeks.
My leek seeds are starting to germinate.

Ventured out at the crack of dawn to do the weekly shopping as Walmart has instituted numerous 'safety' steps. These really stupid ideas include allowing only 5 people per 1000 sq. ft. & one way aisles with 6' apart lines everywhere. I arrived early as I don't do lines, walked in & promptly ignored it all. Afterwards I went to buy our weekly supply of cigarettes at 'The Tobacco Barn' & was told I could only buy one carton which really set me off. I just had her ring 4 cartons up one at a time. When we were all done, I asked her to tell the manager that he's not accomplishing a darn thing with the BS other than ticking his customers off. Then I did our grocery shopping which was relatively a normal experience. All I can say is that most businesses have had some really stupid, boneheaded ideas lately...
Fine ground the dehydrated basil & put it in a jar for when I process spaghetti sauce in a couple of months.
