We are a warm zone 6b, my big maple down by the pond is changing its leaves turning a nice red color.

great day at Hillsville with my sister and got there at 7 am and left at 7:30 pm to head home .Was tired after all that ,but was a great day .I bought the cement reusable letters with the numbers to make things out of cement for 10 dollars a piece and he gave me the 1 and 2 inch letters free because I bought so much .I bought the 3 and 6 inch letters and some of his birdhouses for 10 dollars a piece

Neat buys and I really like that big Sunflower.............its cool!

 

[sissy]

It is 7 ft tall .I have to go pick up cement to make lettered path stones .I looked at those letters online 39 dollars a set for the small ones that were 2 inch size .Lucky I did not buy them online yet .Bench was 20 dollars .My sister bought 2 benches and a table

 

[j.w]

Wish they had something like that here!

Takes over 2 hours to get there but it is fun .Plus my sister bought mountain cabbage and i bought apples (89cents a lb) bell peppers (69 cents lb)and frying peppers (49 cents a lb ) and yellow squash and zucchini 39 cents a lb fresh from the garden YUMMY forgot eggplant 39 CENTS A LB .

 

[j.w]

It might take me a bit longer than 2 hours to get there but I bet it would be fun grabbing all those good deal up

The veggie and fruit stand is called poor boys after the hubby and lady's son's out in the fields working .But you know you are getting fresh picked .I made eggplant tonight yummy good

Now do you have a big garden sissy? Cuz as much as you like the veggies you should have a great big one and grow all your favorite types. Bet they would grow well in your weather. I know you mentioned your squash didn't do well but maybe this was just a freak year.

 

[sissy]

I really don't grow much because I don't have the time to tend to a veggie garden .I just grow a couple of tomato plants and pickle plants and a couple of other veggies .This year nothing grew worth a darn .

 

[addy1]

The only thing that grew well for me this year was weeds and volunteer cherry tomatoes. Any veggie planted at the beginning of the season did not do well.

My garden was slow to get going this year but now is doing well. We have gotten 4 1/2 inches of rain in the last week so garden will love it.

 

[sissy]

Even when you go in the grocery stores there is even less appealing fruit and veggies .If poor boys fruit and veggie stand was not so far away i would go more often .The Danville one is not very good and expensive .It is so humid out today I am soaked just from weeding and dead heading the flowers .Supposed to get up to 92 today

 

[j.w]

Well one thing that had lots of good flavor this year in the stores was Watermelon. It was so sweet and juicy unlike a lot of years past. Must have been a good year for them. Got a nice seedless one for 19cents a lb the other day

Sun is back! Yahoo, mountain dew

 

[sissy]

ours was at first but the hardly no rain in june and july made all the new ones dry on the inside .I bought 1 last week in NC and it was horrible but the bunnies and deer loved it
