Hi Joe, hi Felloes.

Hi Joe, hi Felloes. Sure, some kind of end of winter here. Really, we do eat spruce sprout here as great delicacy.. https://yle.fi/aihe/a/20-10006629 Long time no hear. Great to see you are still out and about. Mostly winter bypassed us this year. We only had one good snow and I think the lowest temperature we had was -13F(-25C). There was only a handful of days when it was zero F or less (-18C). All in all a warmer and drier season than normal. We are now getting some badly needed rain and expect more this week. It has been warm enough that i have started to look at getting the garden ready. I am optimistic this growing season will be better than last year. Looking forward to hearing more from you. Cheers

My goodness, it has been a while since I posted here. It has been a busy summer, so far.
----------------------------------------The garden is looking pretty good except for the potato bugs. Other than that the squash, pumpkins and tomatoes are looking good, We have gotten a few cucumbers and green peppers and should be getting a few more yet. I spent yesterday as an election judge for the primary election here. Long day from 06:00 AM to 9:00 PM. For a primary we had a fairly steady stream of voters throughout the day. I did get awakened at ab 2:10 AM because I heard the dog barking up a storm. Turns out he had an opossum cornered just outside the pen where I have my newer chickens. Not that I have anything against opossums, but I don't need them sneaking around the laying hens because they will eat the eggs. So, that opossum has been dispatched. So far it has been a wet year, so everything is green as opposed to a more normal year at this time when heat and dryness has put much of the plant life under stress. It is supposed to rain again this afternoon and tomorrow. Hopefully it starts to dry a bit by September, so the farmers can get their crops out in a timely fashion. Really looking forward to crunching something other MCM, but at least that supply has been very steady. Cheers

Hi Joe, and everyone, good to hear about your garden Joe and your local activities, and hey Ultima Thule I just google searched Spruce Sprouts and I am very excited I think these grow in the woods at my home near Seattle, WA. I've seen these sprouts but for all I know they could be Douglas Fir or "pine" so I will get to know my spruce trees and only eat the good stuff.
----------------------------------------Speaking of good stuff, we've had a late blackberry season and I swear I have more huckleberry bushes than last year so I've enjoyed harvesting those as well. All the best and good crunching.
