Looks like Pendleton then. Only town with Olson anything. That and the hill thing. Hermiston is flat. Umatilla is split between river level and then up to the mostly flat level to the east and south. Pendleton is very hilly, being fully in the Umatilla river valley. It's all Umatilla county

Benny Mardones - Into the Night. Fairly catchy tune. Listening to it now it's a creeper

Got a text today. My tiller is fixed. Imao happy. There isn't anything on the market that could replace it.

I can hear this picture

there's an Erik Olson who teaches at Umatilla now. Im not sure if he taught when I was there. I don't remember him. Maybe my brothers had him though. The last name is familiar like I went to school with someone with that last name. For someone to have even heard of Umatilla does make for a...

I thought panic buying is what people did before hurricanes. Mom had flashbacks to the TP shortage and hoarding in the 70s when we had the pandemic one.

Im in Washington near Tacoma. We needed to be near a base when hubby retired. Family is mostly in Hermiston and Stanfield. Yes that's close to Pendleton. It's where I grew up. The two Walchli farms were my two great Uncles' places. Great aunts are still around. Watermelons are a big deal

The vineyards are newer. Only last few decades. Columbia Crest was the first in the 80s I believe. Kennewick is huge now compared to how it was when I graduated in the early 90s. Them improving I-82 from Kennewick to Umatilla in the 80s means it's only 21 freeway miles to the Costco. Hermiston...

Don't know how much you've traveled across Washington. There are signs on the freeway for "Apple Maggot Control Area. No homegrown fruit beyond this point." So many miles each side of the main apple growing area around Yakima. Quickest way for me to get to Umatilla from here is north and over...

Cant ship to wine producing states. Like trying to order apple trees here. Can't do it unless it's a local company. I believe potatoes are the same way. Disease prevention for the commercial crops

Mine love to eat grape leaves and grapes. Also gooseberries. They also hang out under the blackberries which grow all over. Blackberry leaves are stripped if they can reach them

It's normally up by now. There has been less and less each year. I was thinking of digging it up and moving some this year.

Where does everyone get their comfrey starts? Looks like the blackberries have managed to kill it all now. I didn't have any come back this year. Couldn't poison the blackberries without killing everything

Burned some of the cottonwood I'd cut down today and a bunch of old stuff from last year. Plus the 2 very old wooden houses the silkies slept in. No paint and I'll collect the screws and nails from the ash. They burn clean. Air was pretty still and we don't always get that this time of year...

Many of the food corporations are having record profits right now. Because they raised prices because they could and tried to pass it off as inflation. There was an article a few weeks ago about the government actually looking into some of their shenanigans but haven't heard if anything has come...

Found where rodents got in again over winter. Got into soap again. I swear soap attracts them. Apparently Irish Spring is just as tasty as the Dr Bronners peppermint. All those stupid tips that say soap repels rodents is a lie.

Sounds like you have a good start

Im optimized for my region so it guesses what could be here in puget sound. All the plants in the allium family are safe to eat at least.

I do recommend the Plantnet app. It's free at least for android. It may not get it correct 100% of the time but gives directions to look of it doesn't.
