May 7

Sprouts everywhere.  The corn grows overnight, the peas are growing like crazy.  Of the three species planted, the Kentucky Wonder green beans sprouted first, but the others are now making an appearance as well.  The chiles still look pukey half the time----they seem to need LOTS of water.

Howard had to pull up all the cucumbers----the blackberries had invaded and were popping up instead of cucumbers.

We went fishing overnight at Elephant Butte.  One bite, one fish.  Very hot---the water was 70 degrees.
