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

I hope to have a first pick of cantalope this week as well. Have a full row of them

Peppers for the store are picked prematurely for maximum shelf life . They are not truly ripe until they are red. These are the size of cannon shells

I have 2 types of purple bell. One is P star the other is P beauty. I also have chocolate and black. They are heirloom varieties. Purples are mild in flavour. Chocolates are sweeter than reds. Ketchenany, the Hungarian hots are a nice pepper with more heat than a jalapeno but much sweeter.

With this heat things are ripening up with a vengeance. Peppers love heat, but its killing me.

Here you need an herbicides license to access any effective chemicals

I'll second that. I'm busier now than when I worked for a living, but 5+ grandkids will do that

Belwood can be a tough reservoir to figure out. Present water levels are well below the norm from accounts I've heard.

Disney has a fleet of the originals down in Orlando. Had to do a double take the first time I saw them there

There's only one tyrue Canadian outdoor shoe. It is called a mocassin.

My buddy used to wear them while watering down the rows of tomatoes. That was until he did a 2 and a 1/2 gainer with a twist after hitting a patch of greasy mud. No traction at all
