2011: A Late Start...

everything lookin' great bro, I feel ya on the weed bein' slow.....mine too, I was sayin' earlier how I think many many plants are like 2-3 weeks behind normal schedule.....what's up with that??

VG looking great brother love the Cats. Just had a litter and the wife wants all three. Well here comes a vet bill cause I just aint going have all that running around loose. I will take some pics of the cats this weekend. dirrtyd

How's everything around the garden VG?

This is the ugliest year I've had in my garden. Here's what is going on. Yield should be near expectations, but it sure has been no fun to photograph.

Now your talking, lol He looks a bit PO'd in the 2nd and 3rd pic.. My Tabitha and some of our dogs.

What makes it the ugliest year? You must have had a BEAUTIFUL garden in years past because your pics still look great. Picture 8 looks nice and sticky, the cactus bloom is a nice shot too. I feel like you played a large role in my plants not getting any worms, thanks VG.

Hodge do you live on a ranch? love the pics of all the animals.


PS, your Tabitha looks like our Sara lol

Tabitha has got the look of an extremely comfortable cat(and tabby cats are just cool). The dogs have the same look. That look says a lot about the character of their "owner"(servant).

Thanks for the kind words, Brandon.

Tabitha is the oldest of our cat's, 12 years now. We have another tabby, her son cowboy but even though he's fixed does roam the area. My wife and I have always been animal lovers, least 4 dogs always plus that number of cat's. When my mother in law was dying, Tabitha was always laying on the bed beside her, was very strange cause we would put her out and she would get back in. Mom in law suffered from alzheimers and Tabby would lay in her lap while Elayne would stroke her for hours, the look from both of them said it all.
Brandon, guess you could call it a ranch, only 10 acres here but when you have to mow it, seems way bigger. 17 acres next to me that went on the market, thinking of putting a bid on it? Year round creek but one side has a housing development next to it. That's my buffer from the rat race and I would hate like heck to loose it. Still have 36 acres in southern Trinity county, nice part the property is surrounded by Six Rivers National forest, 980,000 acres that will never be developed.. Google Kettenpom Ca and check out all the gardens. lol

Camera problems made continuing this thread difficult. Nevertheless, the yield was within a pound of last year. A pleasant surprise. The quality is better than ever. Still learning. Merry Christmas, everybody!

Missed you at the 12-10 event, Merry X-Mas to you

Merry Christmas to you VG

peace
