Spring has sprung

I know it is only January but for some reason, my iris' think it is springtime.

Waylon worked all night, came in and put up the dog pen that will encompass mom's garden to keep the coons and possoms out.  Right after lunch, he sat down to watch a tv show.  Never got past the first 5 minutes.

The project is almost complete!  Mom and Waylon have been working hard.

The pen came with a cover so when the 100+ days come, we can put a shade over it.  Last year, the garden did not produce.  We had over 90 days of 100+ temps.  The okra never got over about 1 1/2' tall.  The heat either killed or stunted everything.

Lord, the garden is in your hands.
