Good news is that tomatoes don’t need that much room. Some people grow em in five gallon buckets (recommend to use food grade buckets). But you can put em right in the ground, or in raised beds.

They like it dry.

I'm planning it on the high point of the pasture. Drainage, you see.


Cattle panels to keep the goats out.

Sounds idyllic!! Horses goats and gardens.

Self sufficiency.

Now if he would do weeds!

Headed in that direction. That's the idea.


Horses have strange appetites. Geezer Poodle ate the bark off a tree once and killed it. They have to be kept away from Growing things we wish to keep.


I want to be able to remove the end panels so I can drive the Next Generation of tractor with Attachment(s) trough the fence in order to plow.


That'll beat a #2 shovel for turning clods . . . .

WTH?!???

Yep, not kidding! Snowing like crazy right now.
There is ZERO bare ground. Blackberry canes are half buried still. This is only making them more buried.
Some of you are starting your gardens. Typically that's June 10th for us. We have a short growing season.

 

[dkak001]

I'm the same. The only beets I knew growing up came in a can. They are vile!

Maybe I'm weird. I've always enjoyed the foods that a lot of people don't like.
The wife hates a lot of the food I would choose to eat. Some stuff like sauerkraut makes me feel better when I eat it...

A few more hours and the wife can take her heart monitor holter test thingy off. She's really itching for a shower!

I agree with you, B2! I personally think politics has no place in public healthcare or science but this is not our current reality.
I may be joining K+ and Wat in Litmo!

I have some pretty strong pro science and pro healthcare/healthcare research opinions, too.
Got room for one more?

 

[Missk_2022]

Woot! Good job.
And if you think that was fun... imagine the possibilities...
Retrofit technologies: upgrading older vehicles with modern features

I'm so glad you had a wonderful time today!!

Trade you... heavy rain now turning to snow as the sun set and temps drop

I sense she's very proud of her @Wat_Tyler learning so many Life Truths

TIL there are at least 5 diff varieties of beets
The real question is why...

Beets are yummy

 

[dkak001]

Whatever you do, always keep it/them pointed in a safe direction.

This! ^

And always assume they're loaded. Even if you "know" they are not, assume they are and handle them accordingly.

An accidental discharge while pointed away from everyone isn't an accidental shooting!

 

[Missk_2022]

Yes, it is and you did.

But weird isn't the new weird for word...

Well shoot didn't catch that..... dang it

 

[Missk_2022]

Did you have any fun?

Yeah it was ok.... I always enjoy spending time with the guys and the front porch sitting was nice

They like it dry.

You ever seen them grown upside down? Cut a hole in the bucket, plant them through some burlap hanging out of the hole. Then you hang the bucket up. I'm tempted to try it some time.

We had one in a big pot in the house. Had tomatoes for several years from it, although they slow down during the winter.

Just my thoughts about our rules on religion and politics:
Criminals hiding behind a “religion or creed” are fair game. Being spiritual like Zen or praising God, is OK as it’s not about advocating one’s religion or faith nor disparaging another’s. Correct me if you disagree or I am wrong.

Politics is getting complicated. I will rant later.

I think it is ok to say thank God or send morning zen or thank Allah or whatever..
Politics are tricky because people are polarized.... I have my opinions and let's be honest other people do too...we are unlikely to change eachothers minds... so probably best to keep that very general....
We are all respectful of eachother and if it gets out of hand we always have a few on here that are good mediators ......

You better be careful...all they serve is beets and the strip searches are brutal

 

[Missk_2022]

It, too, is alliterative, like work weasels.


I wonder about work woolly mammoths.

Worms, warthog, wildebeast.......

 

[Missk_2022]

Ya beet me to the punch.

Ouch.

Beet greens can be a bit bitter. But we use em in salads. Supposedly they have lotsa benefits, vitamin c and k. And also (miss) potassium, iron and calcium!

Thanks google!

I saw beet ice cream on TV last night. He added some orange to it... lady said it was delicious??

 

[Missk_2022]

Jeez, NJ has the trifecta.

High sales tax
High income taxes and
High property taxes

However, even with the new gas tax a few years ago, we have cheap gas and are the only state left where you don’t have to pump your own.

Win! (Jk… I could care less abt who pumps my gas)

Oh boy

Ok, I like beets a lot. I like ice cream a lot.

But beet ice cream??

I mean I’d try it… but it sounds pretty gross!

 

[Missk_2022]

They are. It for everyone. Mrs wonderer is not a huge fan. She knows how to use one in an emergency, but she’d rather not have to deal with it.

Yep me too... I have a healthy fear. If I pull it out someone is getting shot....

 

[Missk_2022]

Somehow I’m picturing you guys all in a cell conniving ways to get out. Like in a sitcom.

I will only show my boobs as a last resort
