I have been adding more cement pavers to my walkway leading to my southern observing spot thru my garden, I have almost ran out of blocks, I have six feet of path left and it will be done, but I need more pavers and I do not want to buy new, so I will have to wait until I find more used ones, it loo...

That's a great result! When I was a kid we lived next to a school's agricultural plot. They had acres of strawberries. At the east end of the field were huge strawberries that we used to feed on with our friends. I remember the fruit being almost fist sized (mid to late '80s). Nothing has ever been...

Well today I took all the starts I have been nurturing since cropping out the 18/20 plants for that second row, I made 3 more rows of Strawberries, there are 9 plants per row(shorter rows), I will get photos tomorrow, I am half way back to where I was before removing all the contaminated plants, I s...

The red one in the last photo is different than yours, the hull of yours has side trim below the deck line(where the red starts) that looks like it is built into the hull itself, yours has a trim piece there, also yours has trim pieces behind the side window, these may be just different years/trim p...

I have always thought it would be fun to own a boat, I bought one of them foam sailboats used and took it on the Columbia river once and had fun sailing across and back across the river, everyone I passed by looked at me like I was crazy, I never had an issue sailing it even though it was the first ...

Hi Guys, youtube vanced apk I agree, adjusting the bed angle and extending it forward would be a quick and easy fix for selling it. But for my own 521 Kingcab, I went all out with a 14-inch cab extension, using a stepside box. Unique touch compared to the typical 10-inch extensions on others. You h...

Maybe a difference between ripening on the vine vs. picked green and ripening at the store.

I did not know that a Watermelon will ripen after picked, I do know that my search said once picked it should be stored at room temperature until cut open, then it needs to be refrigerated.

The Watermelon I picked was fine, it was not as dark red as I had hoped, but the flesh around the seeds had started to make a pocket around the seed, the Watermelons at the store are usually picked sooner I think and do not have that pocket, but they are a slightly darker red(slightly), maybe it has...

Here are some photos of the large Watermelon in the front yard with my foot on the photo to give some context. https://i.postimg.cc/vH7L5g9m/DSC01076.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/bvrxXm5G/DSC01074.jpg Here are the Watermelon plants in the front yard that have grown over the front side walk that leads to...

I have stalled on picking more Watermelons, when I look at the bottom where the field spot is it is not dark yellow yet on any of them, they are the color of that first one I picked that had not even turned slightly red yet. 3 of the Watermelons I am talking about are resting on my cement sidewalk l...

I have not done anything with the soil until this year, I believe for the most part where I planted the Watermelon seeds has been where I have normally planted 4 Tomato plants, there have been a lot of uneaten tomatoes(especially cherry type) that get rototilled into the dirt every year, I had alrea...

I cut open a second Watermelon and it was picked slightly sooner than the one before, the first one had areas in the rind that were turning brown while this one did not, the first one near the brown spots in the rind it did not taste right/as good, this one it tastes the same throughout, but around ...

I forgot to download the photos of the Watermelon I picked, I might have waited too long, the one I picked was ripe, but close to being over ripe, I ate 2/3 of it last night, I will finish it today and pick another one, the one I picked was an older one, once they get established, they get big fast ...

I spread grass seed out and I raked it in, I am going to watch it, I am trying to keep it damp as this area dries out fast, it is likely why Crabgrass took over in the first place. I have more than 10 large Watermelons, most are the early to ripen type that the Nursery sells(not as large as the big ...

I thatched the front lawn today, I have never done that before, one area I did twice, there was more dead moss than grass, I had a giant pile in my work truck bed but it smashed down easily so it did not cost that much to get rid of. I will know in a couple weeks if I have any lawn at all now, there...

I have never really mentioned this before, the two rows of Strawberry plants I have started since removing all my Strawberry plants because of contamination I used what I had already made which was Polyethylene pipe(black pipe) for automatic watering, it is what I already had and did not need to be ...

Well I finally figured I had enough new Strawberry starts to make another row, what I do is every time a Strawberry plant has one of them shoots come out I put a cup with dirt in it at just the right distance away from the parent plant, I water it and the start makes roots, once the cup has roots I ...

This morning I put the flag stones in place for my southern observing spot. https://i.postimg.cc/v80G4v0m/DSC01067.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/zX38KRQF/DSC01068.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/tCfy54QQ/DSC01069.jpg Most the time was spent getting them level, then when they were in place I used some other bloc...
