The writing on the wall, was there 10 years ago. I expect the St Kitts plant to be gone within 5

English friends picked some up at a specialty shop in Burlington

This week we did our annual family cooking marathon. Day one, pick up last minute groceries, thaw 20 lbs of ground meats, make turnip casseroles from the 5 large rutabagas I had picked up. Thursday, the main event..... 20lb of cabbage rolls and another 10lb of meatloaf. Mother and I also chowed down on a special treat for breakfasts this week. Nice hearty helpings of bacon, eggs, and blood pudding. We's is living good.

Turnips are white and smallish. Rutabaga/Swede turnip is large and yellow fleshed. The latter is a fall staple for us Scandinavian types. As for the vegetable marrow, An English and European staple that you find at farmers markets. We grow them.

1000 lakes before I'm gone to dust.

My fall isn't over yet.

THere is a time for detail and a time for simplicity. Depends if you are going for the reaction strike, or trying to tease in that immovable beast in the weeds.

May he always be " a pickin and a grinnin"

Nothing beats quality time with the kids

If your weed whacker is not designed for the attachment, you will burn it out really quick. Brush cutters are designed for use on heavier machines, Like the "B" said " Head to your local rental place and use their stuff"

Good to hear you are doing well.

Sounds like the L Erie shoreline. Summer cottagers buy goldfish and Koi when they open their cottages, then dump them into the lake when they close their cottages in the fall.

It certainly can be a game changer. My M.I. was 18 years ago and I flat lined. I was given a second chance and I use it to the fullest enjoying my life, my children's lives, and now, the lives of several grandchildren. Tough way to learn but glad you learned the lesson as I have.

Brambleberries/thimbleberries were a treat growing up in the Muskokas. The thorns were nasty. We also used to pick buttonberries, a kind of flat raspberry.

On Scoville scale this variety of jalapeno is 5-6000, the Hungarians are 8-10000 scoville units
