i needed a nap and was able to get some dreaming in, it was a silly dream about Mom singing some song wrong all the time and we were laughing about it as i was trying to get her to sing it with the right lyrics. funny to me though even more is that it was nothing at all to do with the music i'm...

@digitS' are your gardens all put up for the winter or still in progress? i'm still a week or two from finishing... of course there's always something to do out there even if i'm mostly done.

it looks like two days on for garden chores and then a day or two off for rain which is fine with me as it gives me time to rest up, recover and shell out some beans to be ready for the next round.

i didn't even think there were chances of rain back in the forecast for today, but i did look before i went outside to putter around for a while. some clouds looked like they may drip and i wasn't too enthusiastic about what i was doing so that was enough for me.

:) congratulations!

it could be that the root system did not grow properly, got tangled together, there's an obstruction in the soil, or... sometimes things like this do happen. i've never had a place indoors where i could dig up such a plant and then root prune it and see if it could regrow - it may or may not...

@Blue-Jay The resistance to BCMV is nice but the plants looked like they were more succeptible to some other things this season, could be bacterial or fungal diseases, i'm not sure what they were but it didn't look like it made that much difference and the plants were productive so overall i'd...

added disease resistance and improved productivity. it should be marked somehow on the package if it is the new variety.

half a garden weeded and cleaned up for winter. dunno where all the grass in there came from as it wasn't in there last year. i sure hope it doesn't come back next year. i'll have to keep a closer eye on it... not as much grass in the 2nd half and that will make things easier when i can get...

i was sure weeks ago that the garden i started working on today did not have any beans left in it that i was particularly worried about. as i was double checking today i came across some Four Corners Red plants that had plenty of pods on them, they all need to dry down a bit more and i'm not...

is it this one?

i've had years like that one day...

another frosty morning but it warms up by this afternoon so i should be able to get outside for a few hours of putting up gardens.

@Marie2020 ... :)

you must have missed my comment about the ironing board...

for strawberries the worst predators were the chipmunks - birds might get some of them, but not nearly as many. in recent years i'm not sure if it was raccoons or groundhogs that would also get into the strawberries, however since i stopped growing them i've not seen any fur trapped by the...

at first i was wondering what they were doing with such a funny looking ironing board...

seasonal humor or pumpkin spice?

the old strawberry patch is weeded but not leveled, i may wait until spring to do that. also did get the garlic planted and some other puttering around done.
