still going

I know Its been quite some time since I updated, in the meantime the beans are definitely flowering and I am showing a few beet leaves, still no hoophouse yet. And I have taken in another 3lbs 12 oz of tomatoes making my total almost 49 lbs, soooo close! oh wait, one last take of yellow squash gave me 1lb 6oz.

drumroll....

51lbs! whoohoo! (yes I know its not the 100 I was hoping for but I'm off to a good start)

heard any good news lately? I haven't. On the one hand its nice to know I was not part of some shared delusion, on the other hand, it looks like being right is going to be painful. I have to balance my participation in discussions and desire to stay informed, with the essential human need to not be completely swept up in a fear soaked paralysis. So if my posting here and commenting on your own sites is a tad sparse, I'm just trying to get a mental handle on everything, and I'm likely doing what has worked for me to get through times like this.

Stay Busy

I feel you on the stress and balance issue. There are times when we need to step back and just reorient ourselves.

Wahoo for reaching your 50 lb goal!

looking forward to seeing how the hoop house goes for you. Not that I'd need it, unless I wanted fresh tomatoes and bell peppers in late january, wait... not a bad idea. Personally, I like the hiatus from the summer crops so working with winter crops makes it all the better

Congrats on the poundage!

And well-put about the state of affairs and the fear soaked media-ness.
