This will be my first year trying them and I wouldn't know what works and what doesn't. I would have thought last year would have been ideal for growing potatoes as we didn't have too many hot days and we did have more rain than usual.

I never installed AC in the windows this summer
We had our first frost up North two days ago but one down here, at least a week ago, kinda odd.
Potatoes are still growing, so it was not a hard frost but t wiped out the Datura which up North are unfazed.
I will dig the potatoes, at least the Peruvian Purple ones as it is supposed to rain again next week and the black soil here is a bitch to work with when wet.
I am going to have my picture in the Church year book this year, the first time in over a decade.
Last time we did it my brother , ma and I all went as a family; kinda odd when you do it by yourself.
Our preacher had fainted in church last week, so his retirement is probably going to be before the end of the year
I liked him, a lot . He did a lot for me with my mom's and Tanta's funerals; the new second in command seems to be a decent fellow but I do not know him like I did this one.
