Picture quality, for this price range camera, are the best, IMO. Here is a day and a night shot of the same deer, taken with the camera in the same spot each time.

Good morning gardeners. Well this past week brought a respite from the sunny hot weather here in Mississippi. We received two days of beneficial rains, which helped to revive my garden. Watching the radar it looked like a good portion of south-central Texas from San Antonio to the northeast corner received some rain also. I hope it was helpful to our gardeners over that way. My winter squash are growing like mad and my hot and sweet peppers are doing great. What is left of my tomatoes seem to have revived a bit during these rainy and cloudy days. I really hope that what ever weather you have had improved a bit for you and your gardens this past week.

Good job on the seed trip!
That camera takes videos as well.
Thank you! I like the D battery use and the price is right also. Now about that buck... It would take three of our Black Tail to equal that monster. In other news we had a rare 3/4 inch of rain last night, of course I had just spent my entire SS check for the water I applied my our gardens and lawn areas over the past week...
Thanks! Since I’m on a hill there and I’m using raised beds, I had to terrace the hill and needed a retaining wall. I still do not have a retaining wall (only need 12 to 18 inches) on the upper level.
The water tank will be filled by a pump from the rain barrels I have next to the house. Thats the only difficult part of the process. I don’t know what will be more expensive, the electricity to pump the water, or the water if I just filled it from the garden hose?
I was following the SFG method of one per square foot. But it is definitely a jungle in that tomato bed. I think I'll spread them out next year.
“It always rains just after the farmers make the first cutting of Hay...”
LOL. Ain’t it the truth! Even backyard farmers. Hubby just finished harvesting all his wheat, and stood it on the back patio to dry. It has rained every day since then.
Are there many crazed women gardeners where you live?LOL
I compared the catalogs a few months ago for Henry Fields and Guerneys the only difference was the cover pages. All the pictures etc were the same after that.
He is probably 230 lbs., which is a big body for our area. We have some nice trophies, but nothing like Kansas and Illinois grows.
That is really a great camera for the money, but in my usual miserly ways, it was on sale at Bass Pro Shops for $79.99, and I had a $20 coupon that they had sent me after my order previous to that. Believe me, for $59.99 it was a steal. Mine has taken literally thousands of photos and videos ... I'll sometimes get over 300 in 24 hours. The racoons, coyotes, bobcats, bears and birds trigger it also. It has a sensitivity switch that I keep at a medium setting.
I get my 2GB SD cards on Amazon.com for under $7 each, and I buy 4 at a time to get the order over $25 for free shipping. Three per camera is my rule of thumb, so that you can change it out and have a spare in case you lose or break one (I've done both).
Really great looking “landscape” garden. Where did you get your 5 gallon buckets? How much did they cost? We have a hard time finding them around here.
I have roughly forty global buckets...the weather here sucks so bad I had nothing else to do with my free time. :-)
I use the 5-gallon pastry buckets that the bakery department at the grocery store will give you absolutely FREE! They get sick of seeing me pretty fast...
As I usually try to do, I ordered my seeds from different companies to avoid total casualties if something were wrong from one company's product. Ends up that I placed most of my seed orders with the same company anyway. But everything germinated very well!
Post #273...bakery departments in the major chains just throw them out...hit them in the afternoon after they are done frosting their cakes for the day, and you will usually be able to get a fair number of them. My wife got 15 at one store right at graduation time...I guess kids get cakes instead of cars nowadays...
Okay - Thanks. Does the frosting come in those buckets or the cake mix? Many years ago, I used to get pickle containers from Granny’s restaurant. I think they were about 4 gallons. I wonder if they still come that way - guess I will have to check on that too.
Small orange fruit similar in size and shape to a cherry tomato. The fruit is covered in papery husk. Flavor is a pleasant, unique tomato /pineapple like blend. The ground cherry is very similar to the cape gooseberry, both having similar, but unique flavors.
A small shrub similar to the common tomato, can be grown as an annual or perennial. Plants are usually small, only 1-3ft in height.
I can look through a catalog quicker than the website(we have slow DSL) so I use the catalog and make a wish list including the product number and price, then look at the next catalog, and write the prices down for comparison.
Then I circle or highlight my choices. Go to the web, and order using the fast/entry feature. I keep the catalog used in a file along with the order confirmation for reference.
It is a great relaxation to just kick back in the recliner and peruse the catalogs when they come in.
Tigers and Lions and Bears Oh My...
Could y’all swing through Benderville on your next Safari to Montana and set up my camera and show my wife how to use it. She and her dog are the only ones left with a memory around these parts
Frosting. Most stores usually wash them out when they are done with them...then it's drill, fill, and plant...doing my last six today; then I am DONE.
