I've yet to post in this interesting thread ... until now.
I wonder if anyone has dared to try to read through the ENTIRE thread? A dread-thread, if there's any, for anyone to dare to try to read through the WHOLE thread.
It would be a fascinating read, for sure, on a cold, snowy winter day with cups of of hot brew, like a cup of 1/3 coffee, 1/3 kahlua and 1/3 Irish Creme Liquor ... make that 8 cups to last, say, 100 pages of this dread thread, plus a joint, or two.
But this monster thread looks fascinating, though. Sort of a Studs Terkel of the Internet.
So what's my here 'n now?
My 5-ft-tall tomato plants finally met their first night of frost with predictable devastating results, but the tomatoes have been harvested with the green tomatoes being harvested right at sundown prior to the first frost of the season.
Cucumber plants -- sans cucumbers -- also got nailed by the frost.
But my growing winter plants -- bok choi, Swiss chard, kale, etc, -- are thriving and happy campers.
I need to expand the strawberry bed, to lay in an added layer of aviary wire, as the $&*$ gophers somehow broke into the bed, so now I have to shift the strawberries over, move out the soil, lay in a new layer of aviary wire that would go all the way to the top of the edge of the bed, then put the strawberry plants back into it. Jeez, a lot of work on account of little, furry-assed critters!
Those ##^&&$ gophers have removed SO much soil from under the aviary wire that the beds have dropped a full 6 inches, leaving only 6 inches of effective, gopher-free (well it's supposed to be gopher-free!) soil inside the bed. I'm going to have to declare war on those little critters and get rid of them, once and for all. I think that I'll rent the movie, Caddyshack, for clues of how to get rid of those little, furry-a$$ed buggers.
I love the changes of the seasons -- each change of the season has it's own particular senses that delight one's incarnate self. The fall season after the first rains is wonderful with the cool air; the re-moistened ground; the little winter weeds popping up in the fields; the falling, colorful leaves; the up-tempo of the winds and the arrivals of the initial storms of the fall season.
