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.

i still haven't read Warren Piece.

did you notice the knot on his bib looks like a slug?

made more progress today on cleaning up the old strawberry patch. i should be able to finish it up tomorrow in about an hour to an hour and a half. i took a few pictures of the gardens out there that i've put up plus the few still left to go yet i also took pictures of the soil profile of the...

they need a fence they can tilt up at night to let the leaves blow, but they put it down in the morning on school days to keep the children under control (an illusion i know, ... :) )

i've used a variety of methods over the years but my favorite is by hand shelling as then i can do selections based upon how easy it is to get the beans out of the shells or how many have stickers (little bits of the pod stuck to them) or ... if the beans are super dry stepping on them may...

we are now into chances of hard frosts overnight for some days and last night we did have a hard frost. i better get that garlic planted sometime soon... :)

i've seen all sorts of beans like that through the years. from changing conditions during the time when the beans are filling the pods. especially with larger beans and our poorer and more difficult soils in some gardens. it is why i like to plant smaller beans so they have a better chance of...

rains now @digitS' ?

not a bad day out there at all, not too hot, not too cold. i went out to weed the old strawberry patch which has a lot of oxalis in it and plenty of other weeds too. it is the worst one i have left to get done (others still to go). first though i scraped another big garden to make sure none...

yes, Venda is like that too, better to shell before they dry down completely. this remind me that i have some Provider to shell out at some time too. those seem to be larger beans but the pods are similar in how tough they are and how much work to get the seeds out and clean.

after living with someone who kept nine birds of various kinds i would not want to do that again. they were way too noisy for me (especially in the morning!).

sorry to hear you were under the weather and glad to hear you are feeling better now. :) yay for rain! :) that will help out your pastures and sheepies. :) we had been dry for a long time, enough that a lot of the trees have already dropped their leaves due to the stress from the drought...

it is better to have it done before the weather really turns. ours went out in the middle of the worst part of this past winter and our regular furnace repair company couldn't get to it right away so we found someone else who could. i didn't want to be running those tiny electric heaters any...

cutting the plant off and bringing only it in will eliminate a fair amount of bugs and will give several more days of development too, hang it upside down. then after that the peppers will stop getting any more input from the stems so you can then pick the peppers and let them ripen. the more...

ok, it is Wednesday and so i have this comedy for you. this one is milder than the next one (less screaming in the beginning :) and less swearing). as for music, in parts he does sing... : i'm watching this other version now (but i watched another one before that has the same title)...

the care you take is well represented by your pictures here. :) i'm glad they understood and were willing to step it up a bit to make it all happy for everyone...

[-- i wrote a bit at the very end that you may want to think about before you dig up and move a plant inside --]... it really depends upon how ripe the peppers are (aka if the seeds are developed enough). they peppers may be green but still be able to color up in a few weeks even after...
