I decided today that my next car should be yellow. That way you couldn't see the pollen on it. It's peak pollen season here in georgia and everything takes on a yellow hue. If we get a good hard rain the runoff even looks yellow. I'm glad it only lasts for a month or so. Every season seems to have it's good and bad points. We get the beautiful colors and mild weather in spring, it only seems fitting to pay some little cost for such a display.
We got finished planting all the early tomatoes today and put in the last of the sweet corn. With the warm weather we've had the first planting of corn is moving on. The rows have a green cast to them, the first sign of a good stand. It topped 80 degrees today and if it's that warm this weekend I expect we'll have our first city dweller inquiry. By that I mean someone will come by and ask if we have any tomatoes or sweet corn for sale etc. I have more patience with questions like that than Sue. I grew up on the beach and knew nothing about growing things. The only crop I ever saw were the sea oats that grew on the sand dunes. Still I have to chuckle to myself when we get these questions and then after choking back a laugh I'll politely answer that we have just planted things and we have to wait for them to grow first. Hey, everybody has to learn.
