Good morning...pouring rain here...but colorful leaves brighten the area. Have a happy day, everyone.
Ahhh, first heavy frost of the year. Time to put in the garlic!
Stew is back in the barnyard, kicking up his heels and driving the hunting dogs nuts - they think he's a black bear - he LOOKS like a bear!
So now Stewie gets to hang out in the barn eating all the sweet oats and grains and hay he can stuff in his face. Warm beer, massages - it's a nice life! Then *Insert Ominous Music Here* he goes to The Spa come April.
I'll be taking primary care of him (and every other living thing around here) when Beau leaves for Mule Deer hunting in CO next month. (I thought it was Elk, turns out it's Mule Deer this year.)
'Stew' is lower left corner. The Girls are all Holstein with one Jersey in the mix. And, Yes! That IS the bottom half of a toilet hanging on the back fence gate. *Rolleyes*
The fall tomatoes are ripening nicely on the windowsill of the south-facing bedroom. And I don’t mind a bit that they’re small — I’m just glad the plant finally began producing!
Hope all things are going well in your neck of the woods as well.
I’m already looking at ordering seeds for next year and planning on when I’m going to start my onion seeds.
I’ve had poor luck with getting them started. They seem to sprout well enough, but then there’s a lot of attrition and all the videos I’ve seen of people starting their seeds show much sturdier seedlings than I get.
But this video gave me some good advice on how to get them off toa good start so I’m going to try it. I’ll save some plastic containers from the grocery stores.

It was supposed to rain this weekend but so far it hasn't. Mrs. Augie and I are dragging brush out of the garden patch today.
Looks like it could rain so I'm going to get back at it.
Anyone using a good plant ID app they would recommend? I had one but the adds became so obnoxious it became unusable.
