yes, that was what we saw with the farm that was kitty-corner from where i grew up. the cows did their things relative to the sunrise and sunset. that is pretty much how i live too here except for trash days and family events. most of my gardening happens after the dewfall has dried off and...

i wish they'd pick the one that seems to have some scientific support.

it was, but we didn't have pizza for lunch, by the time we had the meatloaf and mashed potatoes made and there was a pile of dishes to do and other things to do too Mom asked me if we really needed to have pizza for lunch. i said no, i'll eat whatever, my brother and SIL were coming over so...

made some good progress on bean shelling yesterday and this morning. the part bag (about 1/4 full) i shelled out yesterday was from a poorer soil garden and there were not very many decent quality beans in there (perhaps a half cup). there were a mix of varieties. today's shelling i did a box...

pizza for lunch, maybe meatloaf, mashed potatoes and mushroom gravy for dinner...

yep... i can eat it, but prefer the winter varieties much more.

exactly!

i'm always a fan of using things as much as possible but this one is ready to move on - in a perfect world it would be made out of something that could eventually rot and become plant food.

yesterday was a few hours of weeding and turning under more of the strawberry patch. a few more hours and i should have the rest of it done, but that won't be happening today or the next few days - so maybe Wednesday... rains and family stuff going on and i can work on the dry bean shelling.

leftovers brought home to me, they were ok, then i finished up with some cole slaw with mustard, vinegar and a bit of brown sugar. that was much more tasty than the leftovers...

brought in the hoses. i'd forgotten the other day to bring them in while it was warmer. one was split so it will go out with the trash on Monday. it's got a lot of years on it (at least 20) so it has held up a long time and been through some alterations too as the ends started leaking and i...

i meant how to keep the mice out of the truck that sits outside all that time? my car sat outside too and ended up being a mouse hotel. very hard to deal with them once they set up residence... :(

we leave ours up all year!

that's a good idea. :) how do you keep the mice out?

cooked or dry, they'll get by!

i understand this completely. i have a lot of beans to shell, plus i have a lot on the shelves that we'll need to eat eventually. no rush, at least i know they won't spoil. :) i told people yesterday that we're downsizing tomatoes next year, i don't need to grow so many if most of what we...

a friend gave me two peppers today, they were longer and pretty skinny. the flavor was good, very sweet, texture was a bit tough, not much heat to them - almost faint enough to be an after-thought. i cut them open and ate them as a snack before my BLT dinner.

i like that you have little booties for his feet. :)

pasta and beans? :)
