      And this morning I was back out there at 7:30 diggin' holes with the   
   (repaired) post hole digger . Got the rest of the 'maters in , and the   
   peppers , green beans , some more green onions , and the vine crops -   
   cukes and zukes and acorn squashes . I'll be planting more stuf later ,   
   some things need the soil to be warmer than it is right now - okra for   
   one .
