I’m a simple gardener so a lot of these things are beyond my means. I am anxiously waiting on seeing who my apricot tree fared. In full bloom Saturday, One the verge of frost Sunday morning and a low temp of 31 F this morning at 3:30. Now 33 F. I hold out little hope but I might get lucky – for now. Even more important for me is the status of my fig.
My garden stuff will come a bit later.
The local farmers have been spreading fertilizer but far as I know have not planted anything – no doubt that will come soon.
My thinking is it was always to much the DSJ show – very talented but the problem is its all me” Hope Gott gets a portion of his NBA earnings.
The concept of organic is great but the way it is implemented in today’s world leaves much to be desired. My usual supermarket is a local chain from Winston-Salem – Lowe’s Foods. Depending on the location it is either similar to Food Lion or more similar to Trader Joe’s in upscale areas. I live about equidistant from 2 locations one to the west in Yadkinville and one to the east in Lewisville. They is some ways are like two different stores. Each has pros and cons. In season I grow much of my veggies and some of my fruit but I have not done much to extend the season. Last summer with a church group I visited the home of a retired couple that have a large veggie growing operation dedicated exclusively to providing fresh veggies to soup kitchens, food banks and similar nonprofit groups. Of course they have a lot of money so they can hire help to make it all work. Their personal garden is dedicated to providing for those two and as a test platform for ideas for the larger grow operation. I saw some ideas there I think I will try in my garden.
As to the DDT I mentioned earlier it was used here when my grandparent’s had a tobacco farm at this location. It is not something I plan to use but I also have to plan for disposal.
I’m popping corn and waiting for that tail number chase …
Beyond that I know nothing at all but I this all the wishes for Archie or Marshall are pipe dreams. I might be proven wrong but that is where I stand today. Not really expecting a tail number chase either.
My minimum is seeing some competitive play on the court. Hopefully that means in the mix for ACC champs and a good run into the NCAA dance most years. Losses by 51 points indicate to me we have an issue. Maybe coaching, maybe talent but regardless an issue.
I had thought I would putter in the garden this afternoon but then I took a long nap. Still a few weeks away from heavy duty gardening but coming quickly.
I don’t care about recruiting ranking as a stand alone measure of success. I prefer to see improvement on the field and hopefully more wins. I have seen the former and not so much the latter but all in all I’m ok with staying the course. Amato had some great wins but he also had some real off the field issues. TOB helped with the off the field issues but lost on the field. With Coach D I’m waiting to see what happens. I like the guy, I know there are weaknesses but the can be improved with experience at this level.

But Casey screwed us out of Sloan, Holtz and eventually Valvano so that is faint praise indeed. Is Yow better for this day and time – we shall see. I think DY has been competent but it is judgement day – can she deliver?
