Good morning from Collegeville,
I finally got the Yukon Gold potatoes in the ground last weekend. I purchased the seed potatoes from Wood’s Farmer Seed and Nursery. They are the best in the area. Irene Lund operated there for many years, but she sold it to Tom Wood, a faithful employee. I have not had any potato bugs for the last five years. I do use Miracle Grow, but nothing else. There are few foods as wonderful as a baked potato dug from your own garden. The rest of the planting can wait until Memorial weekend.
Barby’s daughter Becca gave birth to Abigail Lynn on Wednesday. She weighted 7 lbs 9 ounces and was 20 inches long. Barby has six grandchildren and I have five. We are truly blessed. Tired, but blessed.
Next Friday and Saturday there is an unusual sale at P&C’s Attic in Saint Francis located on Highway 238 between Albany and Upsala. A bag sale. Paul and Ceil Gerads ran an antique store in the old Ostendorf Grocery Store. The sale starts on Friday at 8 AM sharp. Only $5 per bag from 8 AM until 10 AM and only $1 per bag after that and all day Saturday. Some items will be priced separately. Check it out. May 15 & 16.
The show this week is a live broadcast from the Durham Performing Arts Center, in Durham, North Carolina. Special guests include Robin & Linda Williams and Their Fine Group, roots duo Polecat Creek plus the old-time string band, Big Medicine. Enjoy the show.
