    It will be obvious soon. Problem will be that in between time where you build up hope. I had that last crushing defeat on some fuyu persimmons.

    I know. I did too at first. Now its mostly recipes. Currently I am trying to convince my wife to let me dehydrate some of her cucumbers. I should tell her resistance is futile. Plus the cukes are overun with flowers so I need to be exposed to other ideas for when we get overun with them. One...

    Short Clips and Discussions

    Ok This was funny to me. This was me by the way talking to chatGPT after some memory upgrade where it is demonstrating a sysnthesis of a lot if not all the questions I had asked of it prior. And I quote: Describe me based on all our chats — make it catchy! Based on our chats, you come...

    What Did You Do In The Garden?

    Concerned About Growing Old?

    I think I miss fun. For some reason as an adult I never consider how many calories I used to burn just playing. Second childhood is a good thing!

    Concerned About Growing Old?

    I was never taught to worry about what is the given. Even in math class the given was with me. When I was young I railed against the literature professors that only brought death works to the tests. It was an unappreciated favor in hindsight, but still a plodding idea to offend the young. My...
