this might be the most country bumpkinist thread of all time.

@crosscreekcooter is somewhere up above, looking sadly westward…

…or maybe angrily

Knowing how particular and obsessive I am about our yard, mowed weekly starting in April through October, wide areas with the Kubota 30 hp and finish mower and the rest with the 52” X-Mark, he may well be of my lineage. Trying to think of any old girlfriends that may have settled in that area

Don't laugh, the dude in that video rebuilt my whole tractor in '73 for $25. Great guy

10 pints finished
I usually aim for about 20 pints and 5 quarts to go through the winter.

Pinkeye purple hull and Ca Blackeye bush cowpeas. First time growing these. Decided to pick some to cook fresh and some to freeze. I might let the next round dry on the vine.

Took some peas and deer steak out of the freezer for supper tonight.

Mmmmmmm, goooooood!

All of those veggies look good. This year Mrs. Nalt brought home two mater plants which I promptly put in the ground. It took a few weeks to mature but they eventually started putting on maters. I watered and fertilized them like clock-work. I have harvested quite a few and they are really good. A bit small but tasty anyways. One of my plants started showing signs of dying on Saturday. I gave it a good drink and am doubtful but hopeful that it will recover. The other plant is loaded with more green maters.
