What Did You Do Today?
PaulN/KS:
The wife canned salsa this weekend and also froze a couple gallons of tomatoes. I'll be sending a baker's dozen in a bag along to share with some folks today and, after picking this morning, we still have a countertop full. :o
Glad I only planted six plants... ::)
Some of the excess goes to the Farmer's market on Saturdays along with any extra peppers as well.

I knock myself out planting corn and putting newspapers and grass clippings between the rows to keep the weeds down. It is a lot of work for an old guy collecting and spreading a dump truck load of grass clippings.
My girlfriend had bought a lot of produce from the local Amish community yesterday. There were several bags of corn, the cost, $2.50 for a dozen ears, I have grown my last corn crop, their corn looked better than mine. I could put up the same amount of corn as I grew for $25 and not have all the aggravation of planting it.

:OK
I hear ya Eric. Between the coons, weather and general PITA I quit planting corn a couple years ago. Being in Kansas there is no shortage of fresh sweet corn available. Especially this year... :)

So. one of our youth activity leaders found out that i hada bow i made and she called me last night and asked if i would do a short presentation. i feel like the least qualified person to talk about making bows but she had no one else. i said yes and this morning i presented it. i showed them my bow and talked about how i made it. i talked about how i tillered the bow and about my time at the marshalls. It was fun and everyone seemed to like it! i also showed them how arrows need to be spined correctly. anyways i had a great time! ;D

I used to do the same while teaching hunter safety, I was surprised how few of my students even knew there was traditional archery, all they had ever seen were wheels.
