So true. A balanced, well mannered dog takes work. The amount of reps I have put into my dog with recall training now, thresholds, all the time put into the tricks. It took DD a full month of at least 2 or 3 sessions a day to get our dog into a back stall position - and it still took time...

Did it grow as a pole bean or a bush bean?

Giant Schnauzer, and a male. And she is the nicest, kindest lady too so he's already driving right over her. It's all cute young dog antics now, but you can tell that he interacts with her like she's a candy dispenser. Zero respect. He's gonna get to 100 lbs, and when the hormones kick in...

Nearing the end of the bean photos. Probably not a lot of point to post photos of beans grown for fresh eating if they aren't especially interesting. I went out today to try and get a few more pictures in but the sunlight was really spotty with the partial cloudiness. Anyway, clearly my time...

The difference in how the beans look in sun vs shade can be really substantial, and it also seems to vary a lot according to the seedcoat colors. Adding to all this is the quirks of the ipad; the 'Tirana's Rotviolette' beans I posted did not have a shade picture for comparison because my device...

Went scrolling through the 2025 pics tonight. Another one for the books! I did enjoy the year's flowers quite a lot. I tell myself every year I'm mostly done with growing flowers, and then I find them in my garden yet again. I might be hopeless! Some of the summer's highlights.

Lambada ~ pole Network bean. I failed with this one last year, but this year the plants were amazing and healthy. Great production. The pods of 'Lambada' are so gorgeous. Fagy Utan ~ pole Interesting that the seeds are two colors. I received this from an SSE member, and I have no clue...

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...

Beautiful specimens @Decoy1, that Armenian Striped Brown is especially interesting. 🤎

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...

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...

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.

Had some tonight! 😋

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'...
