i objected when Mom planted some where she did back next to another garden because i knew they could spread so easily. yes, it's been a large pain in the butt ever since then.

this year was certainly the sweetest tomatoes i've ever grown. i didn't water them at all the last month and lost a lot due to splitting but what we did harvest and can or eat were the best. :) of course it did help that the plants kept green leaves on them and still have some - that also is...

yeah, they don't talk much...

picked peppers yesterday and will be cleaning them up, sorting and some will get prepped for freezer this morning.

good with cinamon sugar donut. :)

cold this morning! brrr!

i have learned to break the bread into smaller chunks before microwaving because the crust gets too hard and rubbery if i wait until after. in the bowl this morning was that broken up bread and then a spoonful of peanut butter and topped with yogurt that had a few blueberries mixed in it. that...

always glad to hear from you and hope all your tasks go safely, even if not as desired! :) that's a big bundle o' sheepies you got there Bay.

with potential frosts in the forecast today will be pepper picking day and then i'll probably get some or all of them cleaned up, chunked and frozen for chili. i've not looked at the plants in a few weeks so there might be none, a little or a lot to deal with.

"The first one is free!" :) :) :)

division doesn't have to be gentle or careful, but at first you might do that to get an idea of what you can get away with in future "operations". pretty much you just have to know how large of chunks you need to slice to get the chunks to take and then how to treat those chunks so they will...

cheerful and rotund. :)

it started raining last night and every time i've woken up it has been raining. we've really needed a good soaker so this is very welcome, plus, i can enjoy a day off from gardening and other outside "issues"... :) :) :) as a bonus no leaks in the roof noticed as of yet.

it really is raining this evening. we really need it so this is good with me.

some of them can be harder than others. :) the spikes are rather dangerous on some of them. can you describe what you did with them? did you water them once in a while? did they get enough light? did you repot them once in a while? is your water salty? did you ever fertilize? did they...

the past few days we've not even hit the dewpoint overnight. that is very very unusual here. this current forecast has us down for slight chances of rain this early evening so i should be able to pick beans as much as my legs will let me before dark, but we'll see. then we have chances of...

@Oxford i just have to say i'm always amused at your handle as you are in Switzerland. i'm always doing doubletakes. :)

if you are speaking you are exhaling humidity ... if you are writing you are also likely still breathing and thus still exhaling humidity. i'm sorry, my pedant is off the leash...

i got the trench dug and some weeding done, taking a few minute break before going back out. breeze is picking up and that will be a big help but i'm not sure how much of this heat i'll be able to tolerate. yesterday i lasted until almost 1pm. today would be nice to finish this garden so i...

today will be an earlier repeat of yesterday, working on a garden to get it put up for winter but also to head off yet more grass invading it. somehow it is getting so much grass in it. it is a very fast growing and sets seeds quickly type of grass. i did 1/3 of the garden yesterday, getting...
