garlic shrimp
fried squash, eggplant and green tomatoes with remoulade
fried soft shell crab poboy
Kona big wave

B&Js had the biggest, fattest soft shells I’ve ever seen these things were massive. I’m uncomfortably full but worth it
also talk to Scott at capital bedding. A custom mattress is a nice nice upgrade from factory
I’ve decided to take your advice and plant bananas in that wet spot. It’s close enough where I can water it if needed and run an extension cord for heat. Now I just need to find those plantains you mentioned. Got a rec?

that is an excellent idea. A lab or golden retriever would be ideal. Take them out to the yard and see if Ollie will perk up

Yes that’s a mattock, great tool.
I’m the new owner of a root knife and a pair of hand pruners :LOL:

looks like he is just traumatized by the shelter stay and doesn’t know what to do…give it time

we adopted a bloodhound of about the same age that had been kept in a crate in a small apartment. She wasn’t physically or verbally abused but many hound breeds are super sensitive…they get their feelings hurt is the best way to put it and getting them to trust again afterwards can be tough.

Happy wouldn’t come inside the house for several days after we got her, she just hovered in the yard or slunk around. It took quite a while before she trusted me to approach much less take her in. But after that she was my girl and I was her person

The other thing about a sensitive dog in a shelter is the constant noisy barking. Some dogs can just about be driven insane by it and they just shut down

I don’t find it difficult to pull out of beds. I don’t give a shite if it’s in the lawn
Should I be pinching buds on the guava or just let it do whatever it wants for now?



look at this beast…this is why trifoliata makes good rootstock I guess :LOL:

HELOC is a useful tool, shite i used one to buy my first boat back in 1996. And when I sold the house the boat got paid off.

when you are young and earning, debt secured by an appreciating asset is nothing to fear. Particularly if your equity is high

weeding, planting, digging small plants up, zombies. It’s a multitasker

I just used it to dig up and plant a dozen wildflower seedlings, four maypop sprouts and some wild petunias
