It's like the question of the "chicken or the egg". I'm sick and therefore my job becomes harder, or my job made me sick, which contributes to everything else. I don't really know, but working while sick is terrible. Anyway. I planted cowpeas again, and then planted squash between my corn and cowpeas. I hope I added the right amount of fertilizer before tilling. My corn is doing well, my okra seems to be doing okay. It will be awhile before I get to harvest it anyway. My cucumbers and pole-beans are growing rapidly, and its only the first of May. Wow!

My neighbor says that we have deer. I'm not sure, but I have seen one. With fencing around my back-yard, they have a difficult time getting in/out. Plus, its very hilly. The only wildlife I see are rabbits, squirrels & birds.....oh yea & neighbors cats & dogs.
