***CRIMSON RED DAILY THREAD***

I saw recently that April 20th is the average date of the last frost in Huntsville, which struck me as later than expected at the time.  Normally we plant them a little earlier and just make sure to give them a little protection if a frost is expected.

I wish I had some sweet corn in the ground too.  It's hard to beat some fresh corn.  I'm also a lover of okra, but being an African plant, okra loves the heat so it's a late planter along with some purple hull peas.

When I was a lad, my grandparents (well, they'd passed at the time), but their land had a nice fruit orchard on it.  About 30 peach trees, 6 apples, some plums, cherries and a stand of grapes too.  Boy, that homemade peach ice cream was good stuff.

I'd love to have me a homemade meal of fresh Silver Queen corn, fried Okra, some peas, cornbread and a big ole jug of sweet tea to wash it all down then follow that up with some good homemade ice cream.  Peach or grape would suite me just fine... 

You're making me hungry! Don't forget the nap after the ice cream.

The last few years I've only grown raised bed tomatoes.  Celebrity tomatoes are a hybrid that seem to do best with the blight we get every year + they taste great.  The price for plants is through the roof at the Co-op and box stores.  Browns nursery has the best prices @ $0.20/plant.  Fried green tomatoes and BLTs!!!


Roll Tide!

Now fried green tomatoes are great. Although the VA doctor today told me to lose weight cause I got a fatty liver. Whatever that is. RTR!

Good morning all on Earth Day.

Good morning and be safe today. BTW we have 87 on scholarship we still have to at least get down 2 more to be at our 85. RTR!

Wooooooo, that's a good southern summer supper there!   No meat required. Put a couple slices of fresh tomato on the plate with a little salt and pepper.

I do like Silver Queen, but you can even beat that ol' Hickory King into submission with enough love and butter.

20 cents a plant is a bargain!   The Celebrity hybrid does pretty well up here in North Alabama too.  Certainly not as tasty as an heirloom, but they're fairly hearty and disease resistant, they seem to be a little tastier than a Better Boy or the like.

Today is the big ART DAY in Oxford, called DOUBLE DECKER FESTIVAL.  LF and I will be there enjoying the food, arts, crafts, music, and people.  Expecting several hundred thousand again.

Heading out in 3 weeks.

All life has disappeared on here, but at least Chech is alive and communicating.

I was waiting for your comment here, Preacher, knowing you always take part.

All day yesterday on the Oxford Square for the festival: DOUBLE DECKER ARTS FESTIVAL.  Much time in a folding chair.

Sports: Don't ask!  Everybody we love lost.

Aww thank you Old Tider. You all too. I am starting a big study in Revelation. Hope the Lord is in charge of it and not me. RTR!

Happy Monday! We're back in SC but only briefly. nSorry for being MIA so much. A whole lot of stuff going on right now.

Both baseball and softball got off the mat and won yesterday.
