Gardening Catch Up

So what has The Fuzz been up to now that he is no longer a productive member of society?
Digging Taters!
Monday morning he was over at the Old Place.  Things had grown up a bit since everyone was out at the beach.  The Tater vines had died back, and it was time to see whether they had done any good. 
It was already hot, even early like this.  But there was nothing for it, but to grab the turning fork, and go to work.
Here's a look at what he dug up.
Some were good sized, some less so.  And there were those tiny ones as well.  But they go great in stew.  And of course New Taters taste so good.
But there was still the Okra to deal with.  It needed to be thinned badly.  And was over run with weeds.  He ran out of time on that one, and had to go back this morning, to finish the job.
But Our Fuzz was up to the task.  Now that's a nice stand of Okra.
When he finished with that, he went to work cutting the grass, which had not taken a vacation just because he had.
And here is a look at the old garden now.  On the left is bare ground!  (This is where the Taters were.)  Next is a row of Leeks.  (There are some out at the trailer also.)  And on the right, those 4 rows of Okra.  The unkept area in the foreground is an untamable patch of Mint.
The Fuzz is hoping tomorrow might be a bit more laid back.  After all, he is retired now.
