EAT YOUR HEART OUT ALABAMA

Upon placing my feet on the foreign soil of the country of Spain, I never realized-although I have to admit that I did have somewhat of a sneaky suspicion-that I would end up spending the later part of my life living here. Now I don't know if you've heard the term or not about "taking the boy out of the south but you can't take the south out of the boy", but in case you haven't-now you have. I am living proof of the reality of that statement because I miss some of those things I used to take for granted like Bananna Pudding, Pecan Pie, Turnip Greens and Hot Buttered Corn Bread-Hooooollld on a minute! That's where I draw the line. By God I'm gonna plant me some turnip greens and I know how to make corn bread. Let's look at these pictures and see how things are coming along.......

After a couple of weeks cleaning and watering..........


Now that's what I'm talkin about-check out how they're growing!

I can smell that cornbread cookin in the oven all the way out here in the garden-what's that you say? You can't really tell how big the leaves are? Well just check out this foto and look down at my feet............
