I used the Big Moose to pollinate the Dill's Giant Atlantic.

Those should be whoppers

Those should be whoppers

I wasn't able to get them started as early as they needed to be. Don't think they will make it to maturity here. At least they have been the first female blossoms on any of the pumpkins.

we had a problem with water running down the valley
of the roof at the porch. it soaked down along
the foundation and seeped into the basement.
so I decided to divert the water, then I thought,
why not collect the water. killing two birds with one stone.
this is what I came up with.

when the black barrel gets full up to the white tube,
the water automatically flows in the tube to the barrel
on the left. soon I will add a third barrel to the right
of the black barrel.

The hardest part of growing Black Cherry tomatoes is finding them when they are ripe.
