Chummed up my raised bed soil with peat, cow poo, and worm casings during the winter.

I’m working to make compost to improve my soil. I did add Black Kow and worm castings that I bought to the purchased garden soil in my raised beds. I do think the soil will be better next year. I think it drains too well. I’m hoping the compost will help it hold some moisture and provide nutrients.

So far- Cherokee purple tomatoes and cherry tomatoes have been great.

I planted a garden for basically the first time. Cherokee Purple and Sun Sugar cherry tomatoes. The Cherokee Purple are good tomatoes, but have not been prolific. Sun Sugar are producing more, but not prolific. Taste great though and make more than enough for me and my wife.

Operated on two squash vines to extract borers. We will see how they do.

Only tip I have is - 6 inch knife, 10 inch knife, 12 inch knife (or sub a 14" for the 12"). One even thin pass with all three and let it fully dry in between. Don't keep going over trying to smooth it out, you will only make it worse. Any small voids will be filled with your next pass with the larger knife. You can knock any ridges down with the knife between passes, that will save you tons of grief. Mix your own mud, the premixed shite in the box will leave you wanting to shoot yourself waiting for it to dry/picking bits of dried mud out the next day. Mixing your own will also let you adjust the consistency to what you find you are better working with. I know the package says x amount of water to x amount of mud, but a little extra water and a thinner mix works perfect for me. By the time you finish the room you are doing, you will be pretty good at it. You will forget 100% of the things you figured out by the time you need to do it again for the next project.

This is the best advice. Thin coats. Progressively wider knife. If you do a good job putting it on, you can easily use a sponge instead of sanding to keep the mess down. Sanding is faster and messier. Sponge is slower and cleaner. Both work.

This was standard protocol for my physicals at work in 1988. There are problems that can be found from the rectal exam that a PSA test may miss.

Just cause they didn’t like it, doesn’t mean it is sexual assault. This sounds like players looking to make a buck and piggybacking off the MSU gymnastics case.

He was consistent. That was a strike on our batters also. It is either the angle of the camera or just his zone, but what appeared to be just off the plate on the left side was a strike and what seemed to be on the outside edge of the plate on the right side was a ball.

China would be committing suicide to do this while Trump is in office.

Sadly, I think China has the much greater manufacturing ability needed to sustain a war effort than we do. They would have the initial advantage, which would likely last several years at least.

In France they often cook it whole and then the waiter removes the meat at your table using two spoons. Would a more refined presentation and service let you eat it?

You also need to consider the weight of the floor. Can the structure take that additional load.

I have an armadillo problem. Gonna build one of those wooden box traps to see if I can relocate the little bastard before I have to go all Rambo on him.

---

The wooden traps work great, but don’t relocate. Just kill him. They will find their way back if you don’t go far, far away.

I didn’t care for the clam at Pepe’s. I haven’t tried their other pizzas. I’ve not been to Sally’s. Modern was good. Can’t go wrong with Bar or even a small place like One 6 Three. There is good pizza at lots of places.
