So thanks Guys, in case I forget to say it some time.

Sophie

Kind of you to say so. You post some music I'd never have heard otherwise. And you're quick. Wit is precious in this weary world of ours.

I ought to have specified: it was a very restrained sort of berserk frenzy. Focussed. And it worked a treat. Here's the current state-of-the-potato-patch:



The last bit is the spud annex. The fence ran just back of the last raised bed. The bottom bit is a windbreak and the upper plastic net keeps the dear deer out. It has to be high, so they won't be tempted to leap it and get tangled. The near bed has peas, garlic, shallots, and scallions planted. Most of the action is in the greenhouse right now.

The posts are in, at last. I have to screen more compost and put the new fence up. But it's such a beaut day that I think we're going to run the river.

I'm getting concerned about the Bobster. Fingers crossed.

I hate to admit it but haven't been doin to any of that. Maybe I should double up.

[SaltyD from BC]

Whatever works Bobby, whatever works. It looks like we missed a season up here, went from winter to summer. The boss put some baby sweet peas and nasturtiums outside yesterday for me to keep an eye on she's away for a spell. I though the cold night would do'm in but it didnee happen they're sway'n in the sunny breeze all happy like. Oops, I better quieten down here else I upset poor ol Lefty out there. ..

Guess you weren't keepin to close an eye on em eh? Ya got lucky this time.
Gonna try me sumthin new, Magic Hat #9 Not Quite Pale Ale.

[Mrleft8]

I'm not a fan of the Magic Hat #9.....
I was out moving firewood in the garage..... Re-stacking the stuff that was down low enough to be a pain in the ass to pick up.... and I kept hearing an annoying whining beeping sound..... Damned if the freakin' squirrels hadn't eaten though the insulation on the Romex and shorted out a circuit! (The beeping was Aldo's invisible fence control thingy) Good thing they didn't burn the building down! So I repaired that temporarily, and then a match fell into the burn pile out by the driveway by mistake, so I had to watch that for a bit.... Then I finished raking out the garden, planted radishes (Usually planted in late March/early April), Marigolds, Xenias (Like Zinnias, but more warrior princess), and Royal Burgundy string beans (Usually planted the first/second week of April).... Then Aldo helped me rearrange everything randomly...... Then I put a few dozen bamboo sticks in the garden to deter Aldo from helping any more.....
The rain seems to hold off until I really get involved in something outside..... Then stops again when I come in.....

[ChrisBen]

I'm not a fan of the Magic Hat #9.....

I'm beginning ta see why. Kinda perfumey.

[Mrleft8]

Apricot I think.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Let's try this, mabe Chip will see it.

[ChrisBen]

[ChrisBen]

Looks like a job fer Salty.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Chris is it gettin stormy down your way? I don't think Salty would even start his saw for such a small job.

[ChrisBen]

They been sayin all day it's gonna pour down. It's been black and ugly out there since 3:00, not a drop yet.
I'll bet if ya wave a bottle o mescal under his nose, he'd be there in a heart beat, chainsaw in hand.

[SaltyD from BC]

For you you're damn right I would Bobby! Would you like it in rounds, or the whole works in sawdust?

[Bobby of Tulsa]

I not to picky, make it easy on yourself.

[SaltyD from BC]

That garden looks great Bobby was that you that was just turned up the weeds and left them footy prints. ..

[Bobby of Tulsa]

It was one of my helpers, actually I think they were stealin taters.

[SaltyD from BC]

Well at least they did a little work while they was thieve'n When I was a kid I wasn't the best mannered, we used to go raid'n gardens after supper. We'd yank up baby carrots, pick peas, pick fruit and stuff - boy oh boy some of the neighbours got right mad throw'n rocks and stuff at us, the little figures escaping over the fence in the dark. Rumour got around that one ol boy was lay'n for us with rock salt in the scatter gun if we ever came back. Our favorite garden was right accross the alley, and Italian fella (with real cute daughters) anyways his garden belonged in a book or something, everything under the sun. We never got in any trouble sneaking in and raiding his garden, I found out years later he knew what we were up to and just thought it was funny

[Glen Longino]

Very nice looking garden, Bobby!
Makes me thirsty just looking at it!

[ChrisBen]

Lucky you found this place. I hear they got mescal an lonestars packed ta the rafters in the back room.

[Glen Longino]

That's what I heard too, Chris!
Think I'll go take a look back there...if I don't come back in a couple of hours, you'll know I found it!

[ChrisBen]

Take Bobby with you, he could use the exercise.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Dang, I wonder if Glen fell in that barrel of Tequila??? I thought I heard a splash.

[Glen Longino]

I can't find that scamp, Bobby T!
Hope he ain't kicked the bucket...or worse, run off to Mexico with Amber!

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Chris, I had to get my own beer today. How much do you think I should do in one day.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Glen I thought sure you done fell in that barrel. Don't be worryin me like that.

[Glen Longino]

Speak of the devil!
Bobby, you showed up just in time to help me dispose of Lefty's stash of Mescal!
Quick, have a drink of this Magic Elixer before Lefty shows up.
How are you, Sir?

[ChrisBen]

Oh sure, you both show up agin at the same time, with worm crumbs on yer t-shirts. You better have left some o that mezcal fer Skipper.

[Glen Longino]

Skipper? Since you mention her...drink faster Bobby or we won't get a danged drop of that Mescal if Skipper shows up.
Late one night around here botebum and I tried to outdrink Skipper, but I can't remember if we did or not, but I don't think we did!

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Hey Glen, feelin better this afternoon, speakin of Skipper, what have you guys done with her?

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Oh sure, you both show up agin at the same time, with worm crumbs on yer t-shirts. You better have left some o that mezcal fer Skipper.

Worm crumbs, thats a new one.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Guess I am going to have to go look for that Salty guy, You should never told him about that barrel.

[ChrisBen]

Worm crumbs, thats a new one.

Mescal dribble just din't have the right ring.

[Glen Longino]

Well, you know how Skipper is, Bobby, a free spirit with a mouth like a front end loader!
Don't get me wrong, I love Skipper, but she's a handfull when she plugs into that Tequila barrel siphon hose we rigged up.
I do hope she's okay! Might have to PM her.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Mescal dribble just din't have the right ring.
