The Rest of the Patch and Dale Hollow

So we got up early and headed to the mum patch again. We had the second half of the patch to do. I said I would go ahead and get started hoeing the dirt between the plants. So I went down and back enough to get 8 rows done and Linda and Stacey showed up and Linda did a couple rows. We both said that we noticed our backs were still sore from the day before. I finished hoeing the remaining rows, while Linda started the fertilizing. Once again going thru with the tiller and Linda covering up after me. We decided not to fertilize the biggest ones, but I tilled them too. We were done.
I hooked up the Sea Ray and off to the lake. Linda ran in at Subway and picked up some subs for the boat trip. We launched the boat, found a cove, anchored and I went swimming to 'wash off' the sweat from the mum work. Stacey and Linda munched down their sandwiches and then went floating on the big blue mats. I munched down mine with a couple Buds and it was time to relax. It was a smoother day on the lake with less boats than the last time. We moved around a couple more times and swam a lot too. We left the lake a little earlier than normal to beat the rush of taking the boats out at dusk. On the way back to the house, we took a side road and checked out the competition's mum patch. We were shocked to see that he had lost maybe a couple hundred plants. I think the difference is we have been able to water ours from the creek.
Back at the house, Linda fixed up some BLTs with garden tomatoes.
