they've gradually gotten better through the years but at times of the most change (in the spring and fall) it seems to be more iffy. recently just not even...

yes, you want your sprouts to be able to grow without being rubbed against and causing rot issues. after they've grown enough to get a stronger stem it's not as critical but it can still be a good idea to not let them rub against the mulch. later on you also want to check for rot issues...

the fourth of the fifth of the twenty sixth of the two thousandth of a heaping wodges long time...

nothing done outside yet other than picking up a few pieces of gravel and putting them back where they belong. not sure what i'll do today.

just remember that open spaces invites deer visitations... :)

Mom has a hard time with spelling and Dad wouldn't care enough to do it. i don't even recall what i may have written or even if there was much of a written portion of my application. I only applied to one college and they accepted me. little did they know... :) :) :)

the forecasts are crap recently. they must be using AI on LSD... for the past several days for this week they had chances of rain most every day and night during the week. now they decided that the rain might be here tonight but not the rest of the days during the week. when i'm trying to...

things change, my web hosting people don't monitor it so when stuff happens i have to figure it out and if i'm busy with other things i'm not getting around to the figuring out for some days or weeks. it's not a dangerous situation error message because there's no private information being...

i don't usually put salt on most foods, but once in a while i do like garlic salt or mushroom flavored soy sauce (1440 mg per tablespoon) but it does depend upon what i'm cooking. we always buy butter that has salt in it - i'm pretty sure that is where i get most of my salt from. the salt...

lawn is mowed and i found one deertick on me that hadn't had a chance to start biting me yet.

we had a set of world books and also another set of encylopedias. i read through both of them even if i didn't understand the words. i also used to read the dictionary and phone books (the yellow pages were useful back then).

they keep changing the forecast for today (rain after 3pm, no rain, chance of rain after noon, no rain, slight chance of rain before noon, etc.) so i'm not sure if i'll be out mowing or not, but it would be nice finish it up and to get it done so we'll see how it goes. i'll probably mow anyways...

i had to look and see if England has morels and it looks like it does: https://totallywilduk.co.uk/2024/07/04/foraging-for-morels-no1-brilliant-spring-mushroom-to-forage/ [from the article] "Morels typically appear in the spring, and tend to prefer sandy soils or recently laid woodchip." i...

before mowing i had to do the usual oil change and since i wasn't sure how much oil i would need and the oil i had on hand was enough i had to run into town to get some more. so i got to meet the new hardware store (well it's the old hardware store now being run by other people) people and was...

https://www.anthive.com/project/fungi/ it is giving me a certificate and security error (yes this is my website) but there shouldn't be any problem with going to look at it anyways. or you can just search on morel mushrooms and look at the tan colored ones (those are the type we have which are...
