here are some beans from today's shelling out. i love the color of these but you can't really see it very well in this picture, there's some green and blue in that gray... the white beans with the pattern were added for some contrast, but also because they're interesting too. i did plant...

oh man i love fresh roasted turkey and turkey soup. i just had some dinner but i'm drooling all over again. :)

there's a guy i know locally who i used to see at the library when he was tiny. he's now about 8 inches taller than i am and a good 50lbs or more too. heh, i can't still help think of him as the little shaver... we get along fine and still talk about books when i see him (he works there now...

we may not see that temperature until next May or later...

maybe hire someone to do the planting for you?

true, dry beans do take up space to grow and do need picking and shelling but they are not that hard to do. i use them as a cover crop (which at times fails if i don't get around to weeding them soon enough), but i also grow rather wimpy bush beans that if i would instead grow pole beans they...

i have continued regrets about getting rid of some old paperwork. don't give in to these modern bits of ideas about how sane people should live. be strong. you'll need it to move those boxes again sometime...

sometimes it pays off nicely to have scattered some radish and turnip seeds around. yesterday when walking by the cosmo patch which i'd also put in some extra radish and turnip seeds i spied some reasonable looking radishes and pulled one of them out to bring in for a snack. it was rather hot...

whuh!? top 6-7 acres of got thru?

it's one of those myths like growing up and Santa Claus (sorry if this is a spoiler for some people). there is no proof in my observational experience that growing up ever happens to anyone.

for those who don't care about computer stuff and/or don't wanna know you can skip this post... :) otherwise i now assume you have given consent to be geeked at a bit about what's up... i run Linux and i did my once in a great while update of my computer system and upgraded my Debian stable...

finished back corner as good as i felt like it today. needs a bit more fine tuned weeding but i'll be back out there next week so i can do that then. nice day out in the mid-60sF but pretty windy.

hahaha! yep, it's a good thing i enjoy gardening... :) if i didn't i'd have gotten out of here years ago somehow. i forgot to mention the field to the south that they replanted with grasses which has been blowing tumbleweed like chunks of grass that has seeds in it which is getting caught by...

well, err, ... :) the small garden i need to weed is the least effort thing i'll need to do, after that i have several projects that i'd like to do that probably won't get done but we'll see what happens. they are old gardens with rocks that need to be redone because so many weeds are growing...

took some chow mein noodles out of the freezer this morning so they were ready to be warmed up for dinner. worked out perfect for me. :)

nummy turkey! :)

i find the term standard deviants amusing...

tomato garden mostly done other than filling in the trench all the way, but i have a neighboring garden with some weeds in it that i can use that same trench so leaving it open for now until i get to that one - possibly will be able to get it done tomorrow. seeing plenty of worms in this garden...
