Re: Around Waynos house

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...

Re: Around Waynos house

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...

Re: Around Waynos house

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 ...

Re: Around Waynos house

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 ...

Re: Around Waynos house

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 ...

Re: Around Waynos house

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...

Re: Around Waynos house

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 ...

Re: Around Waynos house

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 ...

Re: Around Waynos house

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...

Re: Around Waynos house

I also bought these big flat flagstone pieces(7 of them I think), I plan on using them for my southern sky observing spot to get me out of the dirt, when the wind blows and it has been dry for a long time my mirror gets covered with dust, me walking around in it does not help, so I will likely put t...

Re: Around Waynos house

I had a customer that was getting rid of a bunch of them cement blocks used for landscaping walls, they are rough rounded in the front, I had made a planter several years ago after pulling out a Juniper and I planted Blueberry plants in it, I expect I will do that again on this side, the wall now st...

Re: Gray Man, Inc.

All I know it is a life style, if you use them(boats) you tend to use them a lot, kinda like me and hang gliding, I at one point was flying between 100 and 200 days a year, during the summer 3 days a week which equaled at least 5 flights or more a week, sometimes one on Friday and three on Saturday,...

Re: Around Waynos house

I replaced 4 fence posts over the last 3 days, I made this thing that would fit inside the square hole in the concrete that spread apart when I tried pulling up on it, it worked fine pulling out the cement that held the 4X4 post, but it would not pull the other 3 out, I had to use a pick to get them...

Re: Around Waynos house

I have about half a dozen different melon plants and haven't gotten past the flower stage yet. You're waaay ahead of me. Do you have/see bees in your garden? Fact is I have never had such a good result in my life as this year with Watermelons, I bought the Watermelon plants(starts) as soon as they ...

Re: Around Waynos house

It was not ripe, what a waste of a Watermelon, but I have around 6 more growing. It is a type of Watermelon that matures faster than normal type Watermelons, that is why that is the only type the "Grown in Camas" nursery sells, the bottom was white/yellow, it was completely white inside, I ate a few...

Re: Around Waynos house

I picked a Watermelon today, it was about the same size as personal watermelons at the store and that is the type I bought from the nursery, that is all they sell as normal watermelon plants(big ones) do not grow well in this area, they do not have time to ripen. https://i.postimg.cc/Jh8q0v03/DSC010...

Re: Around Waynos house

Looks great man. I didn’t even know you did watermelons. I have tried every year when I expanded the garden back to full size 3 years ago??, but as I recall I have never grown a good sized watermelon that was worth eating, they have never ripened properly. This year is the first year I recall where...

Re: Around Waynos house

I might get a few watermelons this year, normally around this time I have a few watermelon starts(small watermelons), but this year I have several larger watermelons that were already the size of a baseball when I took these photos last week, one is now the size of a softball. Here are the two spots...

Re: My 1969 Datsun 521 kingcab diesel

I think I fixed the noise, it sounds normal again, I drove it up to a dark site without issues last week and it seemed fine, I also got good mileage as I did not go over 70mph, I kept it below 2500rpms, it does a lot better below that, I think 2300rpms would even be better but that is 65mph and that...
