The strawberry cover is flexible pvc pipe and the rest was screen that one would build a screen door with....i used heavy wire we had bent like an upside down u and used as a staple to shove in the ground. Now this is not perfect but we have been having so much wind that for now this is what we are doing it will be a pain to get into but probably won't need to for a while...when that time comes out will come my staples and we will take it off and staple to a wood frame so I could lift off I will probably have to watch to see if wind blows it off if so I could use a strap and two of the staples but that is what we did I know if you look on Amazon they make row covers but we be the poorer type people this is what we did.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01893299343177717697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1356250882120656457.post-22936554068958964862022-05-17T14:46:37.582-07:002022-05-17T14:46:37.582-07:00I used to could plant the garden in a day...now I ...I used to could plant the garden in a day...now I take it slower and plant a few rows at a time.

I just recently bought him some new socks. I was able to make those socks last for about five years. I don't fix the holes. He goes through so many socks for his work my life would literally be about fixing holes. Sometimes you just need to say I am not doing that, lol. If he had a different job I would probably mend the socks. I just kept replacing the socks with matches. Now, he's down to three or four pairs. The newer socks I got him seems to be doing well. <br />I got a new puppy this month. Our garden will probably be on hold. She has already tore through some of my plants because she is a puppy. :) <br />I agree with Missy about growing cat food in the garden. I hope you are not experiencing shortages trying to buy their food. It's been challenging in my area to get pet food. I am always stocked up for a couple of months ahead. It's been stress inducing trying to find special pet food for all my animals. My heart goes out to those who can't find food for their furbabies that don't have a pantry setup to buy extra.SafyneAnaishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08037905819241141808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1356250882120656457.post-41782396818115366642022-05-17T06:12:42.888-07:002022-05-17T06:12:42.888-07:00Hi Becky!

The elastic waistband would unravel and separate from the cotton. After the third one, I just took the lot and resewed all the bands.<br />Glad I can sew!<br /><br />I think it was Fortune magazine that said both wheat and corn will be in short supply in 2023. Aside from the Ukraine not being able to ship, I think India is keeping their own supplies. I imagine the US will do the same at some point. Being in Kansas, we have no wheat shortages that I've seen, but I expect the prices to rise more. I've noticed that the pasta shelves are pretty depleted, leaving only the most expensive. I'll give it up altogether before I pay $2.79 for a pound of noodles!!<br /><br />I'm glad your feline pair are on the job!!<br /><br />Love the sweater pattern.

Getting old is not for wimps! I hope to get to the local donut shop very soon to buy some ore of their buckets for $1 each.
