  32 right now in billetHeadville. Buckets on the plants we have out. A few more degrees and off they will come and we will see if they made it. I know we have had some early warm ups this season but cools fronts too. Feels like it is dragging out too long. 15th is our average last frost. One nice thing here. Went to bed early, still sleeping on the screened porch. Went to sleep listening to turkeys on the roost, Awakened to the same sound. In between if we were awake the coyotes were howling. Life is pretty good here right now :)  .

        Awhile back I scattered assorted lettuce seed in some of our tubs. Had a plan,

  So after pulling the buckets off the tomatoes we began to transplant the little lettuce starts into the tomato bed between the spaced out tomato plants. As fast as the lettuce is growing I think it will be harvest-able before it losses the light from the tomato plants. Will it work?

Then put in a few more tomato plants. Will cover another night. Saying a low of forty but hey weather man has lied before,

    Well the BLT part of the garden is complete. First three pictures are for Tho1mas. I really wanted to plant some bacon strips and grow my own but Mrs. BilletHead put the nix on that and bought a pig :). Had to put up a little fencing to keep out the rabbits and to keep the porker in. Hope it works cuz the little pig is growing wings,

 Getting things really going now. Some peppers in the ground too. Rosemary and basil growing. Still have 11 tubs that I will fill with peppers..Then the lettuce bed I will deal with and decide what to put in there. I gave away another six heads today. Sure wish some of you OA members were closer. I would gladly share. I had a monster salad for lunch and may for dinner tonight.

 It has been work but once it is done we get to water and watch it grow.

     I did too,

Mrs. B. brought home bacon and some of the most palest ugliest store tomatoes today. Got to have a BLT now that you have us thinking about them. Got lettuce for them though. Then we will be having wilted lettuce too.

Angel brought home some tomatoes last night from the store. They looked beautiful. I took one bite as I was slicing and spit it in the trash. Gross.

  As much as I want to like that Ronnie I am not :) . Now I am half afraid to try these. BUT if there is enough bacon maybe I won't notice? One thing I can say is believe it or not canned tomatoes are a better

BilletHeadbet when you cannot get fresh. Bad thing is they will not work for BLT. I detest soggy bread for BLT.
