Thank God he doesn't smoke it!
I really can't IMAGINE 20 acers!

20 acres isn't that much around here, until you try to maintain it; then it feels like the entire world. We used to own 30 acres in SC; 90% wooded. Nothing on it but weeds, snakes, fire ants, a miniscule pond, and a falling down shack that I imagine was slave quarters.

20 acres feels like a lot until you have 20 acres. I only have about 10 and it's been pretty much completely mapped out with trails, well, on the non-swamp areas, anyway. Gets rather boring after a bit, and I wouldn't mind buying a bit more of the land around if it came up for sale.

Now, if I had to mow 20 acres, I'd give up and invest in sheep.

Tisn't funny. I tried to get Justin up here, but he refused, the stinker. How am I ever gonna find someone to do the dirty work?

Ain't that why you had kids? So they can pick up the slack when you get old, like 30?

Being 30 again would be lovely.

Basically summer is till the autumn equinox circa 21-22 of September.

Basically it's pretty obvious you've not been to Canada, or even the northern climes of the U S of A it can get downright frosty when it's supposed to be 50* warmer.

I have no idea who it is from. I got it from Amazon.

The spacing starts at 2 inches and gets larger as it goes up.

I am sure I will figure out a way to use it. I am pretty sure I will always need extra fence posts. Or to anchor it to a wooden post so I can put a little tension on it.

When I used it I anchored the corners, If I recall correctly I just used t-posts., worked for the little goats.

We beat you!! 51 this morning it was great!

68*F with 90% humidity here.

What about October or even November ha? I go harpoon fishing in the Mediterranean in November! No diving suit needed!

Sounds lovely!

I practice walking on water in November and never seem to sink even an inch....

It's looking like I might get a harvest of tomatoes from the garden before frost.

The green beans took off, I'm filling bowls with them now. Unfortunately, the watermelon flopped, again, but hey, it was a try.
