You've done well, grasshopper!

Eek - that's a lot of errands. Boo on the booms!

Boo for rain! Great pic of the balloon!

They are basically a glorified butternut. Taste is about the same and they are excellent keepers. I had some stacked in a milk crate in the corner of the dining room for months with no special care and no deterioration of quality. Google search says: Argonaut is a type of butternut-type...

So glad we're done with that! We got light rain for several hours yesterday. I was glad to see it - things have been crunchy around here lately.

Wow! I'm a tiny bit jealous of all the varieties of trees you can grow! We have done fairly well with some citrus, but after a couple of years of crazy cold spells I've lost my two Meyer lemons and persimmon tree. My mulberry and fig trees have survived though, Guess I'll concentrate on...

Hi, and welcome from Texas! Glad you joined us. I have goats, chickens, quail and pigs. I've been trying to get my garden planted and am making slow but steady progress. I enjoy preserving food also. I recently got pineapples on sale and used them in various ways. I dehydrated some, made...

I worked outside for several hours today until the rain started. We've been getting steady but very light rain for a couple hours now. Not much hope that it's a drought buster, but it's needed so we'll take it! Working on laundry now. Yippee!

I feel your pain! BTDT...

I have thought about it... and I did some years ago. It tasted really good!

Lamb, wine and rosemary is a match made in heaven! I need some lamb!

Sure hope so! Working on the first cup. We have to head out in about an hour to get some blood work on DH. Quick feed store run after that and back home to more gardening. Whoop!
