ah, ok, thank you! :)

we had temperatures down to the low 20sF last night and i think we still have some more in the forecast. we're not done yet with cold weather and won't be for a while.

i'm not sure if "shot hole" is a technical term or can it apply to any of insect, fungal or hail damage? :)

it's been a bit of a mess here with the flooding and roads that are closed. i still don't know how the road through our local small town is doing until i pull up the map and see if it is reopened again. hmm, looks open. Mom decided to call our friend who does a lot of delivery driving to see...

same here after having to move four rocks to get at each of many thousands of seedling that popped up in all the various rock piles and decorated areas we have. i'm hoping i won't have as many growing in south field to go after but i have a weed whacker now instead of having to do the weeding...

Thank you @Nifty. :)

i was aiming for making about 3 gallons of beans to use for baked beans and also to put some plain ones in the freezer to be used for burritoes but i ended up with about 4 & 1/2 gallons instead. that is ok as we'll have some extra in the freezer and also to give away. this morning Mom has...

Hello, thank you for the update as i'm sure it involves some work to get that done. :) Could you please adjust the contrast in the alert list when you scroll through it so it can be read more easily? I haven't noticed anything else yet. Ah, ok, yes, all of the drop down menus have that dark...

i'll be cooking up a few gallons of beans this afternoon so they can be turned into baked beans later. probably will have some of those for dinner.

i know the persons/website and avoid commenting as they get into things that sound like BS to me. i do agree with you that the processed foods aren't likely to be very good things as a major part of a diet - i try to avoid them where i can. the past 50yrs of food nutrition research has really...

we had some flooding in the local town and the road is closed but i'm not sure it is from the water on the road or if the bridge was damaged. at least there is another route around for Mom's commute.

:) yes, such pretty colors and patterns. you can see so much more when you can hold them in your hand and look at them in the sun. some of them have layers of patterns and some transparency so there is depth to the colors - i didn't ever expect that when i first started out growing beans.

the other day i took some time to recalibrate my monitor to make sure the colors were as good as i could get them. that was step 1. step 2 was today where i could take some time to play around with a few programs and see how they worked. i like these results a lot better than what i had...

we've had enough rain here to put any gardening on hold for a while. it's mud soup out there. i think we had at least 3-4 inches of rain yesterday and that was on top of ground that was already pretty saturated so we had flash flood and flood warnings yesterday and last night. we don't have a...

our local most favorite chinese place to eat has sweet and sour sauce made from pineapple juice (and other things too) and of all of them i've tried over the years they're still the one we like the best. last week we went for a lunch and one of the nephews was able to join us and he doesn't...
