A great big subarctic howdy all!

I finally got the flower beds renovated. What a chore. The raised beds and the hoop houses are all planted. Down in the ag parcel I plowed and tilled and hilled 8 or 9 150 foot rows to try stuff in. I have a pump down there feeding a couple hunderd feet of flatline and it is driving 7 rainbird sprinklers. Now if we wouold get a decent rain. It is drier than a popcorn fart. We get clouds every day but no rain. We are hoping that some moron doesn’t do something stupid with regard to fire.

Keep the shiny side up!!

Wow! You are a Hardcore Gardener in really tough conditions. Impressive and good on you! :)

“We are hoping that some moron doesn’t do something stupid with regard to fire.”

Dry? In Alaska? Where’s all the snow melt? ;) We are currently, ‘enjoying’ all the smoke coming our way from the Canada wildfires. Ugh! It gets dark earlier than it should this time of year and the Sun looks like it’s in, ‘Eclipse Mode’ every evening!

“Keep the shiny side up!”

When I’d check out a vehicle, my Motor Chief always told me, ‘Shiny side UP! Rubber side DOWN!’

I did scrape the roof of one of his vans while I was driving into underground parking. :( I had to bake him a batch of cookies every WEEK for like a YEAR to pay for that particular sin, LOL!

I saw him at a gathering last year and he STILL reminded me of that incident; he misses that supply of cookies. ;)
