Jewell, I'm fascinated with the "Smoke Room.". The chairs look rather elegant for serving in a "Smoke Room", but hey, comfort is a necessity.
I took out some of the Romaine lettuce because it's going up to seed. Put fresh dirt and vermiculite and worm castings in, set out some remaining...
It actually does seem men were tougher back then, but so were women. People had to be tough.
Eileen, there are herbs which supposedly keep pests away from the yard. I think one is Mint. 2ofus, we make our own garlic spray.
Picked our first green beans, two lovely, delicious tomatoes (Which made a tasty lunch with Turkey bacon on a sandwich). The beans were sauted...
I feel only slightly guilty as I spray garlic liquid on Kale and Broccoli because I'm depriving the Cabbage moth of sustenance for her babies, but...
Picked more Yellow squash. Put up a half gallon jar of Dill pickles. Picked our first semi ripe tomato /semi ripe because it was falling victim to...

I picked several Yellow squash, froze 2 quarts.

LOL Sjoerd. Reminds me of a very old movie. Hummer, what are you feeding the Monster?
Tomatoes are slow ripening in zone 5 this year. Yellow squash is doing well. Cukes just getting started. I see tiny beans.
Sjoerd, I cannot believe I laughed at this true story. Your uncle must be the toughest man ever. Is he still living?
LOL Sjoerd, you may not have meant it to be hilarious, but here am I laughing out loud over an arm being pulled off in the hay baler. Why oh why...
Set out 2 Cherry tomato plants and 4 Costa Flora (As best I could read the hand-written name) tomatoes, a few onion seedlings, pulled weeds,...
