Somehow, my cellphone photographed a reflection in the glass, while the eclipse itself was just a hazy glow. It was overcast, and of course I did...
I've been looking at improvements to the second bathroom. It needs to be much more senior (me) friendly. I'm not enthusiastic about contractors...
@Sjoerd, I did learn something useful. This year I tried some new (to me) hybrid varieties of Serrano and Jalapeño peppers. They were so much...
Thank you @marlingardener for the plea. It's always good to urge us to be thoughtful of others with less. This year I had hoped to give away...
I forgot about @marlingardener's plea, but I did share. The hens were egg-producing fanatics this year. I gave away 8 dozen eggs over the...
OK, here's the final update on overwintered chili pepper plants. Some did great, and some did not do as well as newly started ones. First the...
Sjoerd, it is difficult, but I'm at a different stage of life now. Such as, with the fig trees. Ten or fifteen years ago, I exchanged fig...
I planted the rest of the garlic, same method as before. That's the only overwintering vegetable crop that I want to plant now. Some of the fig...
Thanks, that's good to know. I set aside heads to plant, so they get to adapt to my conditions. Plus it saves some money. I've grown the Music...

Some late harvests. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] The pawpaws (Asimina triloba) have a texture similar to avocados, with a flavor that seems kind of...
Here's the finished tropical shirt quilt. It was fun because I learned some new (to me) things. The quilt used eight shirts for the top, plus...
I bet you will love having those during the winter! I have one more potential canning to do. I was thinking either pears, or maje apple butter....
Sjoerd, a cellphone app comes with the antennae. You hold the cellphone facing the sky in various directions, and it tells you how strong the...
Thanks for the report Sjoerd. I enjoyed reading it, very much. Cleaning out the canal sounds like a difficult chore. I bet you are glad you are...
It's something I think about, but I have not done that. I do get scallions very early, not not through the winter. I took a needed break for the...
Congrats Pac! That deer looks hungry LOL.
@Doghouse Riley be careful with that ladder!
Today I hauled dirt from Area B to Area A, then from Area C to Area B. This was because I continue to top off some raised beds. Area B has not...
That was a scary moment! Glad you made it out safely.
