Toni, time for your daily update--how is the bite doing? No swelling and very little redness, I hope.
Warm and muggy morning, but with a nice breeze I managed to get the rest of the tomatoes tied up, squash picked, another ripe tomato(!), and the...
We had a useless trash compactor in the kitchen. It had been installed so that every time I walked by it, I caught my ankle on the food lever....
We picked our first cucumber today--now there's a nice salad to have with dinner. I love cucumbers--fresh, pickled, ice-boxed, and made into...
Toni, it is very, very good news to hear the bite is getting smaller and less red. I sweat like the dickens while wearing them, but if I'm going...
Aha! No, I don't personally know him, but some of my friends do. Hope I don't make his acquaintance!
FBG,please explain--I don't understand. Of course, there are so many things I don't understand . . . .

Oh, Carolyn, how lovely! Especially those strawberries. Between you and Sjoerd, I think I need to look into planting strawberries next year. Our...
Donna, you have such a wonderful, whimsical garden!
Anightowl, I take most of my "extra" produce to our local food pantry--it's always accepted with little cries of glee! I've even planted extra to...
Greenfingers, kindness? As to squash, giving it away is about the only method of coping with a superabundance. It's only kind if the recipient...
Carolyn, we got a tad over 4" spread over three days. We hadn't seen a puddle for so long we had to look it up in the dictionary! Ronni, expect a...
Sojerd, it wasn't easy! The few I saw turning red today will probably, maybe, make it to the house. No guarantees!
I was trying to pick squash today without getting stuck in the mud, and a gentleman I have never seen before pulled into the barn drive and came...
