What did you do in the garden today?

My grandparents always had tasty and acidic tomatoes. Never knew what variety they were, or whether it was the soil they grew in but I just don’t seem to be able to find or grow tomatoes with the same bite. Of course I could be lying to myself and simply mis-remembering, afterall I was a youngster way back then.

I think that for a lot of people taste buds and sense of smell become less effective the older you get. Me included.

Sounds like a lot of work lol

When I was a little kid cracking black walnuts with a hammer and picking out the meats with a nail was a winter day project for me and my grandpa. Sit in the cellar and crack walnuts with maybe a sweet potato or two cooking on top of the wood burning stove. Good memory.

The walnuts eventually made their way into Grandma's brownies.

Agreed. Things just don’t taste as good or as flavorful as they once did. Which is good because I’ll be less likely to know when something I cook isn’t really that great.

Just looking over my numbers on this new 10x16 shed I built with 2x4 construction and it’s coming in at just under three grand total.

I guess that's a lot less expensive than buying a pre-built shed. Good job!

Shed cost. Too high? Too cheap?

Thank You. Of course my cost calculation did not include the blood loss apparently required on any project I engage in.
