Re-planted beans for fall, planted 2 kinds of lettuce, fall onions are doing ok, pulled the rest of my carrots, harvesting a cantaloupe or 2 every few days, 4 watermelons are almost ready, lots and lots of maters harvested, and more coming. My new okra is up and growing. My existing okra is going nuts, lots of pequin peppers from one plant, and they are HOT, harvesting banana peppers, and more big Jim peppers tonight.
Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.
Kick ass AK!
We harvested several butternut, acorn, and spaghetti squash, cantaloupes, and a couple of watermelons. Still getting a handful of tomatos a week, bell and serrano peppers. I still gotta dig taters.
that's awesome Ak... I'll have enough for seeds, but very little to put up for next year. Good thing I had a banner year last year. Good on ya bro!

I got a big oak tree with a huge bee hive in the bottom of it. I had to cut the grass near it yesterday and the bees kept running into me, never stung me, but I got the message.

Bought an old Poulan chain saw, OLD... dont have any plastic or a chain brake! Used it to help a friend clear a firing line on his home range (which I now have privy to), had trouble and then had the carb rebuilt for $40 by a guy down the street that does small engine repair. It runs like a scalded ape. I put a new chain on it until I can master sharpening.. anywho, it cuts really good for a small (14") saw.
Might be the gateway to a shelter & firewood if I need it. Need to store (1) extra chains (2) bar oil (3) oil mix (4) stablized gas
Not an actual picture, but mine looks identical
I used to have the exact same saw... scalded ape is a good description! lol.
My stihl is now like a shrewdness of same apes... but its of a different caliber.
Congrats on a great saw!!

Just added about 30 pounds of goose to the freezer! Cooking up the tenderloins tonight, making a couple pounds of Jerky tomorrow, got 8 pounds in different marinades/dryrubs in the freezer, and the rest naked.

Harvested the last of my squash (butternut, acorn, buttercup, spaghetti), probably 50 total. 20 watermelons, a few cantaloupes, a bunch of peppers, the last of our tomatos.
Also went to my parents house to get the tater plow so we can dig our taters. While up there I sharpened a bunch of my knives and two axes. Mom also gave me an old model 333 meat grinder that my grandparents used for years. I had forgot all about the grinder, I recall crankin it when papaw killed hogs to make sausage.
