Slick 60's

the wind has blown straight out of the west ALL day about 30 mph
if it does this when drive to KC should get about 40 mpg

The nice thing about hot is you don't have to shovel sunshine out of the driveway to go to town...

I HOPE IT'S A BIG ONE!!!!

It your area is like ours, the farmers either don't get enough rain or they get too much (or get it at the wrong time).

What do you have in at the moment Pat?

corn = some i will cut in a few weeks (very poor yield)

soybeans = they suffered in the heat, but at this time they look good

milo= can withstand drought conditions.... too early to tell what it will make

corn around here looks pretty puny, but the beans are looking good. sounds like we have what you have. except for all the river bottom land that got flooded. corn don't look so good in them parts.

tell me about it!, the bloody frost killed my chokos, was hoping that would cover me chooks this summer!, they don`t handle the heat to well!, puts them off the lay!

chokos ? . . . .

is that like a watermelon or squash plant ?

they are pear shaped and a bit like a marrow inside, they grow on a vine and have absolutely no flavour!,
they are best cooked by boiling and smothered it in butter and pepper!, they were a real plate filler when times were hard when we were kid`s!

If I may jump in here: In South Louisiana they are called "Mirliton's" and the Cajun's use them in a variety of ways: they can be fried, stuffed, pickled, stir fried, cooked with tomatoes and used in salads.
Stuffed Mirliton is by far the favorite use in South Louisiana. Here's one recipe:

Gerald, may be you can send some up to Pat if he has trouble getting them!, and I`ll get the cook to do that recipe, I love food also!
