Great visual! Of course, you know I have a glass full of stem cuttings that are developing roots as I type. Just planted some of the basil cuttings that I had going the other day. Currently I have streptocarpella violets growing in the kitchen window. I’ll have several to give as gifts to my sisters and a few select friends.

Good morning, all!

Even for a suburban townhouse, I have all of these except the sickle and scythe (I remember my dad had those). But I also have an electric edger and a 14-ft chainsaw. How about you guys?

Lots of crazy weather all around Central Missouri this past week - flash floods in pretty much every direction - not a drop of rainfall here. I hadn't needed to water the victory garden for the past couple weeks but by Friday things were starting to get wilty so I'm back at it.

Tomatoes, cukes, peppers, and spaghetti squash all still thriving. We had the cannery running here on Saturday - Mrs. Augie jarred up another nine quarts of fermented dill pickles and I made ~15 quarts of spaghetti sauce. I canned 12 quarts and stuck the rest in the fridge to use right away.

The Ninja juicer I bought is a semi-useful countertop unit. It's quite slow, but it chewed through the onions and peppers like a champ, did a decent job on the parsley and basil, but not so great for skin-on tomatoes. It would fill the reservoir about halfway then I'd have to take it apart to clean the strainer. Apple cider will be its next test. I'll be amazed if it survives that.

Howard is figuring things out fast. When the golf cart comes out he's usually the first one on for a ride. We have to hang onto him when the deer are around because he WILL go after them if he gets the chance. Aside from that he sits up there and rides like a good dog. When we let him off the cart he stays with us rather than bolting to the woods. If he does manage to sneak off one beep on the training collar is all it takes to bring him back.
