This is what happens when you get too confident and cocky. You CANT TURN YOUR BACK on the garden. Water, weeds, bugs, maintenance- all needs to be done ALL THE TIME. This issue makes me respect our migrant workers who go from state to state working for next to nothing doing the work Lazy Fat Americans look down their noses at (but would starve to death if these ‘second class’ citizens didn’t exist). It takes brains and muscles to do this work, not to mention a godly work ethic. Where would we be without them? They’re mostly extremely poor Mexicans and others. We totally take advantage of them, like they are slaves. Our cowardly president knows nothing about these great people, as he spews racial hatred in every other speech. I’m extremely agitated when I think of this issue- enough to the point where I would join an effort to get that asshole out of Washington- send him back home where he is hated also. The sooner the better!!!

An hour after watering the beets had forgiven me.

24 hours after watering, beets were back to normal. So was everything else

Loyal cat meow meow follows us everywhere we go every time we are home. Never had a cat like that before. Hotter than hell but meowX2 wants to help.
