Pipe finally got here

[Dave]

Nice looking garden. Things are up so good. I am still at least 2 or 3 weeks away from planting.

Nice garden Jo. That's more corn than we have in the whole county!

Have you ever seen such a great looking garden. Perfection....heck my living room ain't that clean.

[Jogeephus]

Thanks. I don't know how much longer I can keep it this clean and stay organic. I've been pretty steady with the ferrous oxide treatments. I may have an outlet for some of the produce and hope to be selling some corn shortly if I can make it before everyone else does. I should be picking squash tomorrow and the beans aren't far from being ready. Does anyone know whether or not non-reported income is taxable? If it is, I was wondering if I just left the governments share in the garden and they can pick it themselves.

Hard to leave 40% sitting in the field waiting for the gvt officials to figure out how to do the paperwork to pick it.

[Jogeephus]

Yes, but I can't hardly see the point in my picking their share.

not long and I have the photos to prove it. It is, however, fun to plant zinnia among the squash.

Undeclared income is not taxable in this country. However, should conscience prompt you to declare it I believe there is a 'hobby' exception for small amounts. Alternatively, it could be described as a child's business enterprise providing the mimimum at which tax applies is not exceeded.
Your country may vary.
Also, it is not wise to keep a pristine garden and attempt to declare it a spare time hooby. I have photos of a more appropriate project if guidance is needed.

My daughter has a little gardening business going on and she is quite the entrepreneur. This year she wants to expand her business some and carry stuff to the farmer's market. I sometimes look at her savings account and get jealous. I really need to explain to her about the tax man and how this works but I really hate to do it cause she isn't going to like it one bit and she is liable to just toss in the towell and watch tv instead. However I don't think she would mind leaving their share in the garden though. That's sortof why I brought it up.

Its amazing what a little rainfall can do.



An afternoon of picking.

[Kathie in Thorp]

We had frost here this morning; then was 80 by 3:00 p.m. Crazy . . . .

[Jogeephus]

Its actually cool this morning here.

Its actually cool this morning here.

I'm looking at 62 right now and we've had almost 4" of rain since early yesterday afternoon.

[Jogeephus]

I hate to say it but I think your drought has moved east.

[slick4591]

I hate to say it but I think your drought has moved east.

I hope not. Don't wish that on anyone. The wife and I were talking about it last night and this could possibly be the last good rain before summer sets in. If it is I'm hoping that we at least get some sporadic showers though out the summer.

Been a month since it rained, but got about 1 3/4 inches over the last 3 days.
