And even the L.A. Times makes that mistake sometimes:

How many fingers they have to use on an onion? d8-)

Thanks Ed , I needed the laugh . I sometimes get irritated when
someone just has to have the last word ...and the horse was already
dead , so quit with the flogging !

From what I saw, it looked like Ranger and Jon Ball were trying to
get the last word on each other. You were just a foil for Ball to
do his usual tricks.

Been doing some metalworking along with the usual "I'm a farmer
now" stuff . I'll post about that in a little while .

It's time for me to do my metalworking for the day, too. I have to
pop the top on this can of Bud...

Fortunately, on the farming stuff, the 3-1/2 inches of rain we had
in the last 36 hours didn't wash out my tomatoes or peppers. I was
worried but I had forked in enough leaf compost that it really
drained well.

We had double the norm for Stone County Ar last month ... My
peppers are doing OK (serrano and red sweet) and the 'maters are all
(34 plants , 5 varieties) starting to flower ... some even have some
small fruit now . The Acorn squash has set fruit , the garlic is
rolling along , and looks like 6 cucumber plants this year . I sure
wish I could get Anaheim peppers to germinate ...

Oh, man, you have a lot of tomato picking ahead. I have only five
plants and that will keep the neighbors supplied.

Two of my varieties have started to flower, too -- my beloved Ramapos,
and a little, yellow cherry tomato I haven't grown befo Sungold.
And I have 6 cukes, as well. I don't know what I'm going to do with
all of them. They were a late addition: we bought a small flat of
plants at a 4H sale and they're growing like crazy. They're bush-type,
so they won't produce like the pole variety, but still...

We've had great lettuce this year. I have my second planting in, and,
if June isn't too hot, we'll have a lot more to come.

I'm thinning the Romaine , hoping to actually get some to "head" before it
bolts . Been good eatin' here , fresh lettuce , green onions , Most of the
tomatoes are sauce/paste type , 20 San Marzano and 4 Roma's . Got a couple
of cherry toms for salads and some slicers . Got some preservin' ahead of us
... Just tried a slice of the fresh hot bread with homemade strawberry jsm
from homegrown berries (polishes fingernails on front of shirt) and it's ,
well , um , tasty !
We expect to grow a pretty good percentage of our fruit and veggies right
here ..

That sounds like a nice way to live. You know what you'll be doing in
August -- peeling San Marzanos. g
