  1. 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"
  2. Good to hear you are doing well.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. On Scoville scale this variety of jalapeno is 5-6000, the Hungarians are 8-10000 scoville units
  7. I hope to have a first pick of cantalope this week as well. Have a full row of them
  8. 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
  9. 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.
  10. With this heat things are ripening up with a vengeance. Peppers love heat, but its killing me.
  11. Here you need an herbicides license to access any effective chemicals
  12. I'll second that. I'm busier now than when I worked for a living, but 5+ grandkids will do that
  13. Belwood can be a tough reservoir to figure out. Present water levels are well below the norm from accounts I've heard.
  14. Disney has a fleet of the originals down in Orlando. Had to do a double take the first time I saw them there
  15. There's only one tyrue Canadian outdoor shoe. It is called a mocassin.
  16. 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
  17. Definitely not a shoe for farmers
  18. Any out there old enough to remember Grandpa Jones? Get to feeling more and more like that once canning season gets started. Today's kitchen chore,...Jam
  19. There's only one thing we need to entice our Canadian bass and pike to bite
  20. Looks like I have a happy little helper down at the farm. She bugs me to let her come along and help. Gotta love it
  21. Despite the weather, looks like an amazing trip
  22. In Finland it is called JUHANNUS. The party does not start til the evening. Midsummers Eve is filled with bonfires, dancing and copious drinking. On the longest day of the year there is only 3-4 hours of night, so the party goes on til the sun rises. I have not participated in a long time. Very few Finns here in Niagara
  23. How much time does a child really get with their 9-5 parent? Add in the commuting, overtime, etc..... My wife worked days and saw little of the children except on weekends for the first 10 years. I worked steady nights and sacrificed sleep so I could be there for the kids for 6 years, but when I took on the day job there were months where the kids barely ever saw me during the busy season. That is a reality for all except the bureacrats and teachers.
  24. And here is why many serious anglers no longer see any point in contributing to OFC
