Greetings from Mo. Great Weather today after the rain yesterday. Not too hot and Not too cool.

Most of the raised beds are cleared and ready to plant garlic and winter rye. The beds for winter wheat will need to be prepared but can't be planted till after the first frost.

Still have a few cherry tomatoes on the vine. About half of the vine has turned black. I have placed a branch of the vines from 2 different styles of cherry tomatoes in a pot, to allow roots to form in order to bring in a couple of plants for growing winter tomatoes.

Hope all is well with everyone. Prayers up for all. God Bless.

I grew Heirloom Tomatoes from seed...Magnificent.

Picked the rest of thecrop before the first frost and put them in cardboard boxes with newspaper.

They ripen a few at a time....and I'm having a blast being creative in using them up.

Tonight....cut up and cooked 4 tomatoes....making a salsa to eat with some gourmet crackers.

Got a surprise at dinner time tonight. Spousal Unit was peeling & cutting a largish cocozelle, and asked me to take a look at it. The skin was a it thicker than usual; some of the stripes were actually deep, narrow ribbing; and the inside was more dense & solid than normal: it was a cross with the acorn squash. Taste was normal for a cocozelle or zuke.

Not really a summer squash, but certainly not a winter type, so I dubbed it an “Autumn squash”.

No, didn’t save any of the seed, as they were immature, and it was not really practical.

Hello all from Louisiana , still kind of warm during the days but the fall is creeping in slowly . I will be dressing up the yard and taking extra care around the rose bushes as one has finally started to bud (first bud in 6 months.) God has made sur that we get enough water and sunlight , no problem for plantings of any kind , get some good topsoil and it will grow . Oh yeah , I planted 30 trees at a property that I have worked on for the past 6 months and it appears they have all taken nicely to their new home...one of the magnolias even flowered ! there are 3 or 4 types cyprus/mag’s/maple and some other type of evergreen...so I have been keeping in the dirt a little . Have a good week all and may God be with you .

We've gotten a bit of rain here in Central Missouri over the past week. Nothing near what is needed to get out of the drought we're in, but better than nothing.

Nothing going on in the garden. I need to start the fall cleanup and get a spot prepped to set the garlic, but I've been concentrating my free time efforts on decorating the pond while it's still dry.

This one is for perspective. The tractor is 7' wide across the outside of the rear tires, and 9' high at the top of the cab. Since this was taken, the basin has been cut down another 5' where the tractor is setting.

Packing clay into the dam.

View from the back side.

This seep hole caused me a lot of grief during the latter stages of the work.

Pack, pack, and more pack.

#2 ex-Navy Son Clint helping out with the re-grading on the back side of the dam.

All closed up, working on the back side re-grade.

It's starting to look like something.

Nice and smooth. Since this was taken it's been seeded and mulched with hay.

My old Monark tri-hull. It used to catch fish, now it will be a place for them to hide. For perspective, it's 17' long and 6'6" abeam at the stern.

I spread 35 ton of 1.5" surface stone on the ledge to make a happy place for the panfish to bed. The deep cut is getting filled with cedar trees.

I've got 30-some cedar trees in so far. I'm hoping the weather holds long enough to get the right side of the dropoff filled with trees all the way to the ramp that goes down into the basin. After that all that's left to do is put down sand for the swimming beach and build the fishing dock. Nanner has returned every dime I paid for it and more on this project.
