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...

humidity?

i could get outside for some dirt therapy today for a while and start in on getting the tomato garden cleaned up. tomorrow will be even nicer weather (warmer and not so windy) that i hope to be able to finish it - that would be nice. :) Saturday the forecast is for rains and into the low 60sF...

oh but it was so purty yesterday with sunshine and sparkles!

today was mushroom and onion pizza for lunch so dinner will likely be some warmed up veggies we cooked up last night.

i keep asking Mom to not buy junk and bring it home but she does anyways. i try to avoid it and not eat it when it is here but it being here is a challenge i sometimes fail.

oh man, don't get me started... i pretty much cannot garden with or around Mom for very long because she'll start in on things and no i'm not incompetent, etc. so... yeah... i'm already revved up and i'm not continuing this rant because it would be as long as this website (or i feel sometimes...

true, we don't have rust issues unless we put them in the fridge or freezer for long enough. i've yet to run out of rings (and we've been doing this at this place for almost 30yrs). normally when buying new jars you get rings and lids with them and those few cases a year we buy seem to be...

@akroberts mentioned in another thread about pressure canning about learning and we all had to start somewhere so i wrote a reply there thinking it was this thread instead. so now i'm putting this reply here because it fits more under canning in general. as far as i'm concerned the most...

to celebrate snow on the ground this morning i was playing Christmas music. it makes Mom laugh. :) i shovelled for a few minutes (just because some fresh air and exercise would be nice and it was). the sun is out and the sky is blue. sparkles on snow, but the snow will soon be melted off at...

10 minutes isn't that much and i was very glad it was not yet another brown bean (if it was i'd have likely let it stay in the bag).

this morning's adventure in bean sorting and shelling was an unlucky bounce when the bean i was looking at was dropped and managed to bounce off the flat and into the bag of shelled out pods and rejects. it was one of about a dozen beans that i was interested in so i shook the bag to get the...

new generic type lids or name brand lids? i've never seen bubbles in the name brand lids.

as i was shelling out some Purple Dove beans last night (after doing a different box of mixed beans with much tougher pods to shell) i was thinking i should try to make a short video of that since they are so easy to do in comparison - except i don't have a stand or tri-pod for the camera and...
