Ladysmith is starting to prepare for Oktoberfest. The meatballs were made last week and frozen and around the middle of September they will be making two barrels of saurekraut.
The gardens are nearly finished growing now. My little garden in Rankin had some frost last week. My tomato plants in pots here at Johnson Lake are still good as we are the last to get frost here at the lake.
