I had a Frog choking down pour this past Wed. I bet we got over two inches of rain in an hour and a half. It rained so hard there was a river of water washing over our back porch. The porch is covered and at ground level. I will have to add more Fertilizer to my lone raised Bed tomato patch. I am sure what I added a week ago was leached out.
You know, I was just thinking about that when I typed it. I’ll have to pass your suggestion on to Hubby. He sets the traps.LOL.
Well, I wish we had your extra rain. LOL. It’s been tough and very unusual Missouri weather this year. If we had to survive on what we could grow this year, we would starve.
However, it is good in a way, because Hubby is finally interested in serious rainwater storage.LOL.
Good to hear from you. Saw your beer thread. Hubby is collecting all kinds of jugs to make wine, but so far, not enough grapes to do it.
Have a great weekend.
After successfully trapping Moles for 45 years I had to hire a pro to trap them for me last week. They would trip the traps but no catch-um. He got 2 the first day and no more Mole Hills. Our veggies and flowers are doing great in spite of very little sunshine...
So what’s the story? Were the moles smarter? Traps damaged maybe? Did the pro use traps that were different than yours?
Of course the Moles were smarter... so he used a different type trap
Wow! Beautiful corn and pumpkin plants, tubebender!
Mrs Red Devil, Cashmere and I are headed back to Mississippi this Thurs. to check on our house and property and to try to move a few items from two storage units, we have been renting, into the now empty house. I say try because I developed some right hip pain during our move to Texas. It will limit how much and what I can do.
I bet Cashmere just runs nuts when she gets home. Mrs RD plans to have a yard sale of items we don’t need or want any more. I hope we sell it all! We will be without internet and TV for over a week. The yard sale might pay for our gas - or not!
I can’t believe every time we plan to travel the gas prices sky rocket!
Hate you left MS but I like TX too. Haven’t I see you on the Homebrew thread also?
I know this post has nothing to to do with your wonderful carrot mutation. But last Sunday I agreed to go with my wife to a dinner hosted by one of her sisters over in Shreveport, La. I had met this sister years ago and knew she was kind of strange. This sister had planed a Blind dinner party, which we were not informed about! The diners were supposed to put on Blind folds and eat the dinner and savor the taste!
This Red Devil Refused to comply with the rules!
I met two of her other four sisters at the dinner and the one she told me was a “little retarded” also refused to put on a blind fold. And she turned out to be the sanest of the bunch!
Gees, I never in my life thought what my wife has been telling me about her sister’s actions were true. I have met all her brothers (3) and they are normal individuals I wouldn’t mind to have as friends! The sisters I would never want to meet again, except for the one designated as “retarted”!
My wife is the youngest of this family of brothers and sisters and is quite conservative. She knows I wont go back for another dinner!
LOL... I can top that Red... I have nieces and nephews who are left of Nancy Pelosi
August 10, 2012 - last comment you made. Where are you? Hope all is well.
Pinging Gabz also. Perhaps you know? If no one knows, I have her mailing address and will send her a note.
