If you'd like to be on or off this Upper Midwest/outdoors/rural list please FR mail me. And ping me is you see articles of interest.

My dogs monitor tomatos for ripeness. When they're ripe and no ones looking, they eat them. I'll start keeping track of the date.

Garden ping.

My garden shows no sign of global warming. It’s the same every year, I plant too early, then a cold snap comes and I cover everything up.

Then it gets really hot and I water everything.

We’ve actually had a lot of rain during early summer.

I’ve been getting lots of greenbeans and tomatos, once my freeper friends advised me on how to eradicate the blossom end rot. Been giving them to my Mom’s elderly neighbors.

I do have to add some lime, but the coop is out of it. I’ll do it before next planting season.

Every oldtimer I know used the “Farmers Almanac.”

They can tell you what to plant when the moon is full, etc. Amazingly it works.
