Have a light rain happening for about the last 30-40 minutes, almost done, the huge part of the storm stayed to the north. Just enough rain to make things humid again I guess. *sigh*

my 2 watermelon plants are still little, apparently I don't have something that they need. Something is eating the leaves off my pumpkins, and still none of them have any fruit at all. no toms are even thinking about ripening, I do have some small zukes though and tiny cukes. and the beans are...

It rained here for maybe 3-4 hours in the late afternoon, but it was more like a heavy sprinkle. If you stood under a tree you stayed dry. I suppose that is still better than nothing but it didn't alleviate the drought conditions. Sunny today, breezy and pleasant, not at all humid. At least not...

My DH makes great applesauce. He peels them first, mainly because our apples come off our trees growing scattered all over the swamp so they're kind of ugly on the outside, cooks them down with a little water, mashes them up and then adds sweetener if necessary, and that could be sugar, maple...

Good Morning Steven! :welcome If you look where the bold and italic buttons are, you will see the IMG button click on that and copy the link of your photo into the box. Then hit the preview button before submit to see if it worked. If not check the edit box and make sure there is only one IMG...

Hope you get that coon. we only caught one the night I lost 6 guineas. Had to be at least a couple more since only one guinea body was found. But it's been 4 or 5 nights now and since I've been putting the guineas in bed by hand every night, haven't seen hide nor hair of a coon. Of course, I...

I hope these aren't summer squash, I hate squash. the label was for yellow zucchini. Looking at them today though, they are awfully squash shaped. :sick Only way I'll eat beets is pickled, can't stand them otherwise. Hmmm, canning chicken, I haven't done that before. Canned venison, I may have...

Just picked my first green beans. :weee Provider to the rescue. Some got a little bigger than I like, I swear they were too small 2 days ago. Gave one to DH to try raw (I hate raw beans) he said it tasted great. So that's the veggie for dinner tonight! And I finally saw a green zuke started, got...

I prefer frozen to canned beans. I've made dilly beans and canned them but have yet to try them. I have had my MIL's canned beans and didn't like them, but then she had a tendency to pick them huge. I like them thin and small. When I buy at the store out of season I get frozen, will never buy...

The pump was deader than a door nail, no idea why. DH picked up a new pump, so $400 later we have water again. At least we didn't have to hire someone to do it for us. Could have used that moola on something else though. :he

Oh crap. Just started watering the garden today and the well quit. It's 87 and rising, DH is on the warpath looking for tools, etc. We just replaced the pump a couple years ago. Crap1 :barnie

Rain stayed north of us today and yesterday. Got a few sprinkles. Cloud cover was nice, because it kept it cooler till just now. The sun is coming out and it's already risen 2 degrees to 78. Yesterday hit 90. I've got some yellow zucchini finally making progress, they seemed to be an inch long...

While weeding a bit yesterday I did find some thin 3 inch beans. The Providers, first year I'm trying those. Need to water again because I can't rely on the 30% chance of T-storms today. Looks pretty darn sunny to me and it's already 85 and still climbing. :/

Okay, how come your Masai are almost pickable and mine are only flowering? Dang it! I want some BEANS! ty for the welcome.

Sort of fell off the map for a while. Hi again. DH visited the old veggie garden we had at his hunting camp as it's a big field without all the shade around the house. He said potato bugs have devastated the taters and the lack of rain has pretty much dried them up anyway, the beans are...

Who thought to even add that sort of stuff to ice cream in the first place? Not generally something I would think of.

There is a wonderful breeze but it's still 82, earlier it was in the 90s, and just too hot. I did discover a tiny tomato on 2 of my plants. WOOT :lol:

I don't know the why's and wherefore's of what happened to get those tasteless grocery toms but when I have to buy from the store if I can't get the grape tomatoes (man those are pricey sometimes!) I opt for the romas. They seem to have the best taste of the bunch there. So looking forward to...

Wow, a fresh egg! Congrats! :D My birds are only 12 weeks old now, I still have to wait a while. But not as long as if I'd waited for my June chicks, they're only 3 weeks old. So glad I decided to order more for an April delivery. I'm hoping for fresh eggs by August. Temp hit 96.8 here...
