Cabbage is doing great. I love the purple ones. My wife said she is going to cook them and make me eat it since I planted it. I don't like cabbage. Except for pigs in a blanket. I just like planting different stuff and seeing how it does. My wife is planning on making sauerkraut with the other ones. Cauliflower is doing well. Cauliflower is doing well. and so are the tomatoes.

Everything but our green and wax beans is great. Today was very long and a back ache kind of day. But we got so much done. Beets, peas, hot peppers, sweet peppers, kohlrabi and squash. I'm going to be very busy, but I love it!

I just drag and drop them onto the message box. It is so much easier than the old way of searching and uploading. Now I just have my file folder open the one containing the pics I shrunk to size and just left click and hold and then drag them across the screen and drop(take my finger off the left button.). I also use this site to bulk shrink them and do the same thing I just drag on drop them onto the websites box and them just click save zip. The nice thing about this site it shrinks to the same needed automatically. The size is on the right of the screen and you can change it but I dont and they come out great as you see. http://birme.net/ On my computer I just put in the SD card out of my camera into the slot on the front of my computer and it does everything automatically for the most part. It uploads them from the SD card onto the computer. Now you have to know where they are going to in order to find them again. When I find the ones I downloaded after shrinking them I just make a new folder in my pics folder and name it something I will remember. I copy them all and just paste them in that new folder. I only do this for posting on this site since I have tons of pics and need to just upload the ones I just shrunk and if I need to upload later I have them by themselves.

Candy Onions I put in a couple of planters and some that are in the upper garden. I need to clean and re-stain my table top I built on some tree stumps and the bench I made. I have the stain just haven't done it yet. Well I have a couple weeks to do it. I need to make a to do list because I am getting forgetful lately. .

You inspired me to go out and look at the garden up close and take some pics. It has been awhile and the weeds have almost overtaken some stuff. I hate to weed and usually the paper works great and this year it did also except where I ripped the paper walking on it. I tilled deeper this year and my garden was very soft so when i was planting my knees and feet ripped the paper. Everything did well but the weeds are bad. If you have seen pics of my garden in the past there is hardly a weed. all in all everything is doing great. I even have lots of watermelon. Butternut squash grew so well it climbed up the fence. The plant below is Stevia I should grab some leaves next week and dry them to use in place of sugar since I am diabetic.

My guess is that is what is called a "wind egg". My silkies will lay those from time to time, though not that small. A wind egg happens when an egg forms without a yolk. I bet if that egg was cracked it would be the white only

I forgot about cucumbers, they are coming like crazy. I purposely planted them late. And I planted some and waited 4 weeks to plant the rest of them because every year by the time the tomatoes are ready the cucumbers are done. It didn't work. I have no ripe tomatoes except for a few cherry ones. Oh well, you can't always have what you want. I also planted bok choy this year and it grew so fast. It's been done for a while now. So I planted more beets where they were.

Doing pretty good. We finally have onions this year and we have lots of cabbage and my wife has picked some of the broccoli and cauliflower.

Thanks Steve.

looks great to me so far! We appreciate what you do Steve!

I find that happens to me as well. Also, when I get the notification box that someone has replied to the thread, when I click on the link in it to see the post, it does nothing. I usually have to go up and refresh the page manually to see the latest post. Still, I consider that to be a minor inconvenience in the grand scheme of things. I think, as a whole, it's been a much easier transition than what I first envisioned.
