If I ever manage to find time for a garden again...

Sorry for the delayed response @N F C ... I'm doing well. How about you? Looking forward to your trip?

Yep, looking forward to leaving Tuesday morning!

That's pricey piece of hardware there Shell, but it does look like it would do a great job.

So does DMSO and BenGay!

This works incredibly. Menthol, camphor oil, peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, jojoba oil and clove oil.

Found a notice on my door yesterday, our street is going to be re-surfaced in a "few days." About time, been living here 50 years. Well they started it yesterday, huge trucks & machinery on a 'short block' (could be me!)-only 8 houses. What a mess.

It is a mess when it's being done but will be wonderful when its finished. The city finally did my street when I lived in Edmonton. They hadn't touched it since the area was developed in the mid 1940s. We got a new street, new sewer lines, curbs, lights and best of all sidewalks. Sooo much easier to shovel in the winter.

It's one of those "when I win the lottery" things.

Pumpkins are available at the grocery store already. Only $2 each. That's a fantastic price given that 1 tomato costs that much. I got one for the animals and one for me to can. It was so satisfying smashing it on the ground oddly enough, the goats didn't like it.

I saw pumpkins at my grocery store too. Can't remember what the price was but the $2 ones you got sound like a good deal.

Yup. I'm sure that the price will go up closer to Hallow'een, but I'll take advantage while I can.

Are the tomatoes you buy up there from Texas? The ones I've been getting from the grocery store are from Canada. Can't find any local produce. Don't even see any farm stands in all my running around.

Lol... nope but I think they are imported from the US.
It's never made sense to me that local products are exported and what's available to us is imported.

The county I live in has declared an agricultural disaster this year. We've had so much rain that everything grew really big but isn't producing anything. Hay is usually cut in July, but a lot of farmers are just now cutting. Baling is proving to be a problem because moisture levels are too high. Almost half of my property didn't get cut because it's still in standing water.

I just saw on CNN that someone paid $5,000 at auction for a pair of Eva Braun's underwear. I get that there are a lot of people that collect WWII artifacts, but seriously? Underwear?!
