I am not feeling well today-seem to have caught a stomach bug from grand kids, but I'll check back in a day or so when I'm feeling better.
Hope you are all doing well. Prayers up for all. Have a great weekend. God Bless.
Pinging the list.
I’m starting small planters of spinach, leaf-lettuce, and savory herbs.
Maybe trying some scallions...again...this year. Haven’t had good-luck yet with them. I’ll look to add a higher amount of sand.
It was over 60 here in Northfield Center, halfway between Cleveland and Akron, and my neighbor cut his grass yesterday!
Buried in Boston...it snowed all day.
We just watched Back to Eden on YouTube and we’re in the process of contacting tree services for chips. I’ll keep everybody updated on how it works!
Hopefully the bug doesn’t like you and leaves you.
Prayers for you, dear greeneyes. Feel better soon.
I need to start some seeds, but I’ve been cleaning out closets. What a trip down memory lane that is..I think that means I haven’t cleaned them all the way to the walls since the nineties...oops.
Also need to do some pruning, harvesting, and fertilizing in the greenhouse. I guess I was hoping the peppers and kale would walk to the kitchen, and hop on the counter.
Anyone here have any experience growing Red Deuce tomatoes?
That’s the 2016 Rodeo Tomato this year. Every year the San Antonio Stock Show has a different tomato that is supposed to do well in this area of Central Texas.
Also curious if anyone has grown HM 8849 tomatoes. The HM stands for Harris Moran.
After two dayys of 50+ weather, we got 6” of thenwhite $hit!
The good news is that I finally mounted the snow thrower on my garden tractor last night and got it working today.
Now starting to plan for our garden this first full year of retirement.
I have some of last year’s sun chokes (aka jerusalem artichokes) in the fridge, washed and ready to eat. They are very tasty whether roasted, fried or in soup (http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/jerusalem_artichoke_soup/ but I don’t bother peeling them and the soup is awesome). Will the remaining ones in the fridge be sproutable/plantable in the spring? They are still firm.
Sorry to hear you’re feeling punky. Hope that turns around. It’s been so nice the last couple of weeks I have gotten some topsoil scraped up and have been sifting the rocks out of it to put it in beds and pots.
Hope you feel better soon.
Thank you for all you do for us.
Pops and I pulled my Nephew's 1950 Farmall C model tractor out of the barn last weekend and moved it into my shop for a tune-up. It doesn't look like much but it runs like a scalded dog. Many years ago I did a po' boy overhaul on the old beast and almost doubled the horsepower that it developed when it was new. Nephew won a lot of trophies at competitive tractor pulling contests with this thing over the years.
The fuel tank is back from a professional clean-out at the radiator shop. Pops dropped the carburetor off at the fix-it shop today to be de-tuned for normal operation. I replaced all of the primary wiring for ignition and charging systems after work today.
Tomorrow I need to acquire a new ammeter, ignition switch, fuel tank sediment bowl and a few other piddly parts at the NAPA store. I'll have it ready to fire up by the time the carburetor is done.
I'll be using it for drawbar work in the tomato patch. Spreading manure and pulling a trailer at harvest time, etc.
Would you believe it’s going to be 74 degrees today and tomorrow and Saturday???? Summer is back for a few days.
Saturday will be plant potato and English pea day, Swiss Chard at the Community Garden. OH and garlic. Here at the house we’ll be doing Swiss Chard, radishes and salad greens etc.
