Sucker

Isn't this a pretty sight? A newly prepared bed just waiting for sweet potatoes slips. Soon, very soon.
Well lookie there, my photography skills just improved big time. There is this button on my camera that has a picture of a flower on it. Pushed the button, and the thing focused on the bloom. Yes, it has been there the whole time. Durr.
 

I was wondering why my peach tree was blooming all funky. There were blown blooms, mature blooms, and buds all over the tree. What's up with that. Well we have a sucker. The root stock sent out a shoot and it bloomed earlier than the rest of the tree. I need to get out there and cut it off.

  1. I've been going nuts because I can't find my camera's manual. Menopause, you can't remember your name... And I accidentally knocked it off it's setting and can't get it back. I know just what you mean.

  3. I have had my camera since October 2007 and I still haven't sat down with the manual, assuming I can find it (I hear you Brenda!!!).

  5. LOL. I can relate. I finally got that button figured out on my last camera right before it quit working and died on me. I didn't even have time to read the manual for the new camera before I broke the LCD lens. At this rate, maybe I should get one of those cameras they make for kids that are indestructible.

  9. That bed looks lovely! I've been wondering if we could grow sweet potatoes here. I'm worried we don't get hot enough.

  10. Brenda, I don't know where mine is either. Dur

    Joy, you need suckers, I don't. Wish there was some way to trade.

    Foxy, we all seem to have lost our manuals.

    Cinj, Somehow I have kept this camera alive for two years. knock wood.

    Yes Kim and Victoria, it is, but I should have figured it out sooner.

    Raquel, Thanks about the bed. I am sure I have not scratched the surface of all the stuff that camera can do.

    Jenn, me to. I really used it for blooms day today.

    Curmudgeon, I don't know if they will grow for you or not. If you can grow the ornamental stuff, I imagine you can grow the real ones.
