We bought a used hive, and it's all 8 frame. I'm glad. I'm going to stick with that setup, because of the weight factor. The president of the Grand Rapids, MI bee club runs everything with 10 frame medium boxes. He messed up his shoulder and has a construction business, so he has to be careful...

I have a Hamilton Beach, and it was about $70. It's okay, but since I've gotten a stand mixer, I haven't used it. It said it had a GF cycle, but that was pretty much a total failure. I had better results using the mix cycle, and then the bake cycle. That's the only thing I've made with it, so I...

I have a Hamilton Beach that is... okay. It was about $70. It said it had a GF cycle, but I got better results if I used the mix cycle and then used the bake cycle.

All the plants are in except for a few luffa. Last year, I had about 33% germination, so I planted all 21 seeds in the packet. And all 21 grew. So now I need to find more places for them to grow and climb. But the 60ish tomatoes are in. Whew. My back, knees, and legs are glad.

What's your budget, @fuzzi? There are top end ones that are $300-400, and less expensive ones that are under $100. Check out yard sales and estate sales. My neighbor finds used bread machines for $10-20.

One Degree is a brand of oats for oatmeal that I've bought at Costco that says it round-up free. $10/5 lb, roughly 2x the cost of Quaker, but worth it to me.

I keep thinking I want one. I'd love to hear what you think of yours. Here are my concerns: How loud are they? What temp (min/max) can the ambient temp in the room be? Do they need a 220 line? I don't. I know myself well enough that I'd always wonder... did that thing close/open? My neighbor...

Good for you, @Everose! I feel like I'm in the best shape of my life now. That alone is incentive to keep doing what I'm doing.

Today I will: Pick up 20 plants I bought a couple months ago Plant those 20 plants Work out on the elliptical Debug the asparagus* Recuperate from yesterday *I think I'm getting ahead of the :ducasparagus beetles!

It's supposed to be cool (60s) next week. Sounds like baking weather to me! :thumbsup

I have 3 more tomato plants, and they're going in the other garden tomorrow. I didn't sit down all day except for eating breakfast and lunch and pee breaks. I know I'll feel it tomorrow, but dang! I got a LOT done today! I'm really hoping we get the rain they're talking about for tonight.

Really hoping for the overnight rain they're talking about.

Summer before last, I buried some large "slices" of apple wood in my heavy soil garden. I was digging holes for the tomatoes, and dug a hole over one of the pieces of wood, and heard the "sucking" sound of digging into wet clay. Yup, that's where there was some wood.

Before it was this, it was Bank American card. I was a little girl when it changed, and I thought it sounded so funny.

I used to live on Torch Lake (Michigan). Google it, it's beautiful. Yes, I know how lucky I was. So I lived on a beach. I've been to the beach of Lake Michigan, a beach somewhere in California, and somewhere in Florida. The power of the ocean, sucking sand out from under my feet was awesome!

Yeah, I heard a farm worker got AI, but it wasn't serious, so they said. I didn't hear where it was.

A topic of conversation on the garden thread was the poor/very poor/zero germination rate of seeds this year, and specifically those from Baker Creek.

Credit card trivia question: What was Visa called before it was called Visa? What was the name before that?

If it fits, I sits. Hey, it works for the cat!
