    So far this long keeper tomato is tasting REALLY good, and the texture is holding up well considering they're now 2 months old. Took this today. The variety 'Yellow Out Red In' is not looking to have the same fate. I had one fruit with a blemish which needed to be squeezed and when I cut it...

    Some more bean pictures. I'm trying to get all the network beans photographed for you @Blue-Jay , it's taking me some time as make my way through all the jars. This round had no network beans in it, the next one will I think. Cranberry Onondaga ~ bush Well, both pictures stink but it is what...

    Today's pics... 🌤️ Tunny A network bean. I am so pleased with my turnout of seeds this year, as last year was a bust. Such a delightful bean, and very easy to dry down on the vine. Dikpenske I grew a lone plant in 2023 and meant to grow them again in 2024 but somehow they escaped my...

    Gone to the Dogs

    DD & I started auditing a new obedience course. The last one was the highest level, this time we decided to check out the beginners. It's a mindblowing experience, on so many levels. One lady in the class that I was talking to tonight is really having a hard time, her young dog will grow into...

    Thanks for letting me know @Triffid! My 'Kyoto Red' came from a company in BC but the packet was soooo tiny, such a small number of seeds. It'd be wonderful to be able to get a greater amount of seed without having to buy half a dozen packets. I definitely plan on growing the red carrots in a...

    Thank you @ruralmamma, I appreciate it. It's not the responses I would have expected from everybody, so all the more reason I'm glad I asked.

    Thank you @Blue-Jay I appreciate getting your perspective. Looking back, I agree the details are getting wiped out by some degree of exposure and the shadows. I'm so glad I posed the question because this feedback will help me become less biased in what qualities I select for in pictures...

    Yes, that's what I've concluded as well at this point. The colors are definitely more realistically represented in the full sun shots, but the details tend to get more lost and then there is battling the shadows in full sun which is nearly impossible at this time of year. Thanks very much for...

    It's a miracle - we had some sunshine today! It wasn't for long, but I ran out there for 30 minutes this afternoon to catch up with photos for the year's beans. It's amazing how quickly the quality of light fades at this time of year. The illumination is warm and orange-ish the later in the...

    What is the song or poem weighs up how you feel today??

    This is about as close to a song about seeds that I'm ever gonna get, but I really like it anyway. 😌 Can't relate to it at all, but love the sound.

    The last of the pictures I took on Friday, which was the last day I saw sunshine. 🌤️ Brutte e Buon This was a really lovely pole bean, the seed are larger than it appears in the photo. Quite purple too. And it was easy to dry them up on the vine. The name is so cute too, 'Ugly But Good'...

    Me: I wonder if these red carrots will stay red in the steaming pot, or lose the color? And if they do, will they actually taste good cooked? Me after eating them: Ok, I may never grow anything but red carrots again.

    The 2025 bean update for you @Blue-Jay! I went through everything tonight and got a handle on what's what. This year's package will include the following beans (network beans from both this year and last year). I plan to ship these when you return from your trip, hopefully the Zonos App is...

    Gone to the Dogs

    This once happened to me in a huge outdoor sports complex/field area. Unlike the dog in the video... my dog was a very bad boy. The moment he looked down and saw the harness had slipped off his body his eyes lit up like firecrackers and he was gone in a flash. 'Keep away' with his own body was...

    Oh this is interesting @Triffid. Ya know, I was surprised when I google searched it and then google AI searched it because I got Atlas from @Artorius and has assumed it originated in Poland. So when the search results turned up the Burpee company I thought maybe I assumed wrong on that. And...

    It is truly a marvel to me how utterly delicious these are. Just so good, and thankfully they're high in fiber because it would be very easy for me to eat too much. Feeling full from a small amount really helps. I have to restrain myself though at the 'selecting which tubers to cook' stage...
