Phew, what a week. First mom got sick on Friday last week with all the “flu” goodies and was down till Monday this week.
Shari come down with it Monday morning, Bev’s started late Monday night, and I was the last, and I started early Wed. afternoon. I guess the “creepin crud” is even out here in the dry, hot, desert SW.
I am almost back up and functional, pretty weak yet, and think I can do more than I really can. Probably another day or so and should be ready to get back to the planting on Monday.
I have gotten way behind on pictures and posts, so stay tuned for a lot of information and pictures when I get fully functional.

Word Press just did an upgrade and the photo gallery didn’t follow it. Bare with me till I get it straightened out or the gallery does an upgrade so it will work properly with the newest upgrade in the blog code.
Again, It’s Not My Fault. For a change it’s not something I did or messed up. Phew!
The capital A’s in the one post with the little carrot on top is also a result of the code upgrade, not sure what is going on there, but will try to correct it.

Man, things have been hectic around here. Planting is in full swing at the farm I work at, and gardens getting ready and a few plants in around the house.
I think in a previous post I told you about the tomato plants that we had been nursing past the chance of frost by putting them in the garage every night and outside in the warm during the day.
Well we got brave and planted 5 on Memorial Day weekend. WE SHOULD HAVE KNOW BETTER!! This Wednesday and Thursday we got below freezing. You can guess the rest of this story. The water in the bird baths froze solid and the water in the outside hoses even froze. The dates were June 6 and 7th. Guess we just weren’t meant to grow tomato’s out here.
Looks like we may have lost a good portion of the potatoes at the farm also at the same time. Some may come back, but will have to wait and see. They don’t look to good. A few beans and peas also got an unhealthy dose of frost.
We also had 35-50 MPH winds with gusts to 75 MPH for 2 days straight. I’m sure that didn’t help the tomato plants either. It was too windy to work in the field on Wed.  It was one of those days that you had to brace yourself against the wind.  The dust was soooo bad, sometimes you couldn’t see to the end of the 500′ row.
Welcome to Utah!
