potatoes

we planted some of our potatoes in the garden. we are still waiting for our cranberry-all-red potatoes. we have two and a half rows in and plan another row and a half of the late arrivals. our garden is starting to fill up!!! a large portion will be tomatoes yum!!! tabitha has this whole companion planting strategy. i just worry about the squash bugs.

serendipity, my insurance covered my hail damage. we are going to get a phat check and not fix the car. it is about time i got something back from that insurance company. we have been compiling a huge list of expensive items that we will blow it on.
the "definitely" list goes:
--propane re-fill
--table saw
--wood for house trim
--milking shed metal roofing
--new tires for car
--general car service
--milking supplies
--chicken waterer kits (2)
--gates
the "runner-up" list goes:
--rack for solar panels
--fencing materials for the back forty (four actually)
--metal roofing for garage, utility room & guttering to cistern
--giant bamboo plants for our privacy barrier
--powered lawn mower
--dump truck of chat for driveway and all other chat needs
--freeze proof spigots for garden and milking shed
--hot tub (supplies to make one) think water birth...

yes that cow is still pregnant, i hope she waits until morning sickness subsides.
