Hubby's been watering every day. I don't know how he does it. I'm glad to be growing herb indoor this year for sure. I envy your time on the trail though! I wish I got to camp out as much as you do. What a life! I love that country up there where you are...'cept for the bugs.

I'm waiting to start my full seasons this year. Last year was a struggle to keep up. And now my wife is retired, so there is more Honey Dew stuff keeping me out of the woods.

I was able to take 3 days and 2 nights this week, and two 2 day 1 night trips two weeks before that. When I ask my wife if I can go for a few days, she says, "you are going to be gone 6 months when you hike the AT, what is a few nights?" I think she is hoping I get burned out on it, and decide to stay home. And I might. That 3rd or 4th day you don't really feel like putting that pack on and walking all day. But each trip it is harder going back to the world. There is something about the simplicity of walk, eat, sleep that is really appealing to me.

I've been on the trail a lot the last few weeks, and haven't been tending my garden. Got out there yesterday and about half of my watermelon plants had died from the dry weather.

Sorry for the hijack, Getaway.

This thread is like being at an old friend's house. If you aren't here, we just come on in and make ourselves comfortable. Sending out love and good vibes <3

He sure is getaway, they said he had a couple months to go years ago. It was an honor and privilege to sit with him for awhile and have coffee when I was up there while back. The mold for guys like that is long gone. Best wishes my friend.

The man took double doses of kemo and never skipped a beat, only person I have ever heard of doing that. The man is tough he ain't going unless he desides he has had enough and that's all there is to it.

Daddy had the big tank in the house that would last the whole month with plenty left over. But he only got a few of the portable tanks per month. He would shut it off to make it go further. There was just too much outside work that he felt had to be done. Several times we found him in the fields, turning blue. Turn the valve back on, and he was up and around in a few minutes. That generation of men were made of harder stuff.

Destroy with fire!!!! Good move. We always burned our pastures and hayfields in late winter/early spring to kill all the unwanted stuff. Still burn my longleaf pines every 4th year.
