Even today, I consider chocolate pudding with whipped cream the most desirable, decadent dessert.

Actually I have had no problem over the years. Maybe if my patch grew much bigger, but they come up straight. the leaves stick through the sides and it hides the cage nicely.
Warm and dry here in Central Missouri this past week.
Got home from our beach vacation in sunny Florida on Friday. We had planned to be there until Saturday, but decided to leave Thursday to avoid the evacuation traffic and monsoon rains. Turned out to be a good decision. Northbound I-65 was a parking lot between Montgomery and Athens in Alabama. It took six hours to travel that 180 miles, but we were able to stay ahead of the rain.
Mowed the yard, trimmed some trees, and got a good bit of garden cleanup done over the weekend. Harvested the butternut squash. Kale and collards are doing well. Still getting tomatoes. Pepper plants are loaded.
Need to till up a patch for the garlic. It’s almost time to put that in the ground. Probably should plant some lettuce, too.
Glad you made it through the storm! It’s always hard to know whether to stay longer or leave earlier...and decide how many other people are thinking the exact same thing!
We got .5” of rain this morning, which was needed. Turning out to be a sunny but windy day.
Fall is definitely here in SW Wisconsin!

Not sure I could get by on just 5 plants! Haha....but I am freezing tomatoes with the seasoning in the food saver packaging for spaghetti and chili
Oh, I agree!
Sugar Free pudding made with Half & Half is a low-cal, protein-filled treat at our house.
And classic dishware makes the humblest of dish into a Superstar! :)
I understand the pest part....one went into one of my bluebird houses...saw it with my own eyes and when we went outside to check on the house, there layed a dead bluebird...nobody but nobody hurts my bluebirds...my husband has a mission this year...
here is it Oct 12th and I am still pulling a few green beans off my pole beans....husband picked the last of the tomatoes, some green, some turning red....I've got beets coming along...
planted my garlic today...I don't do small garlic I do elephant garlic which I know is not actually garlic but in the onion family, but I like them anyway....
at the garden shop they were charging $18 a pound for garlic to plant...I bought a couple but then I just bought organic garlic at the grocery store for much less....we'll see if there is a difference...
We like to do our beach vacations in the fall when it’s not so stinking hot outside. We’ve learned over the years that it doesn’t pay to try to steal one more day of beach when there’s a hurricane on the way.
It’s much better to get out and get away from it. Parked on the interstate for 10 hours in a monsoon is no fun.
The weather here in the midwest has been goofy this year. The spring was cold and wet, but the summer was dry and it has stayed dry into the fall.
My garlic is plain old California White. I bought three bulbs at the hippie food store in 2008. They were about half the size of a baseball. IIRC, I paid $4.50 apiece for them. Every year since I’ve been replanting the best cloves from the largest heads. It seems to have adjusted nicely to the conditions here. Now I get whopper bulbs - baseball sized and a few even bigger.
I could plant mine any time now, but the ground is hard as a rock. If it doesn’t rain soon I’m going to have to use the big tiller on Nanner to prep a spot to plant it.
We have that same bluebird challenge with wrens. They arrive after the bluebirds have already nested and laid eggs.
....pudding made with HnH....now that’s decadent....must-try.......
I just got back from a grocery run. Half & Half ended up in the cart, and I already have pudding mix, so I’m on it! :)
Go for it.......
Facebook doesn’t know its onions:

Ridiculous!
I just got off of ‘Secret Double Probation’ over there. I have NO idea why, and they won’t ever tell you!
I guess my onion post put them over the edge, LOL! *SNORT*
That’ll teach ya.....DO NOT ever post sexy onion seed packets ever again.
