That's Mr. Cranium to you

 

Well that's better than Mr. Less...

 

Just like excise tax in MA was temporary. Haha.

If they're overvaluing the ride file for an abatement, silly not to

 

Lol. Hey who wants to have a TW rock moving day. Bring your own shovel

 

Edit:
Sorry Bill.
I've got this thing to fill, if it makes you feel any better.

 

I'll supervise from your pool deck and even bring my own chair if that helps

 

Ok there is one. Any more want to help

 

I'll be happy to naked cannonball the pool if it helps

 

Ummm eeewww. No thanks I think there is a variance in Easton about you and nakedness

 

Laws were made to be broken my friend

 

That is true and usually I would agree with you but in this case, no no no no

 

Keep your naked cannon balls to your own pool Chris. Ain't nobody wanna see that. Except maybe Linda. 10 years ago. When you were less ancient

 

If he's doing naked cannonballs, I retract my offer to supervise from the pool deck.

 

Asparagus!
Now I've just got to wait until next spring to eat some of it

 

I'm jealous, I haven't been able to get a garden started yet (not sure I even can in my yard).

 

Well then allow me to brag a little bit!
(Sorry for all the pics)

When we bought the house in September of 2012:


By July of 2013:


An average day's 'harvest' in August last year:

My rain collection setup for watering the garden:



The beds ready for planting, from this spring:

The new bed that I added this weekend (32 x 8!); Asparagus went in on the on the left:


The chicken coop (pre-paint)

And a day's worth of eggs.


Can't wait for summer.


There. Bragging done.
I don't do it often, because I don't particularly care for blowing my own horn. But I'm proud of what we've done with the place.

 

Well done noel, looks really good. How is the cedar doing thats been in the ground for almost a year now?

 

Thanks!
The cedar's still as solid as the day I put it in. One of the corners on a bed needs to be re-screwed right now, but it's because it got run over by a Duratrac when I was digging sod this weekend
When I remember replacing a cedar gate post with my dad when I was a kid that his dad had installed sometime in the 50's that had never been weathersealed. That was probably 1995 or so that we swapped it out. If my beds last half that long I'd be thrilled, haha!

 

Noel, I'd love a similar setup when I finally build. Been mulling an in-ground cistern to catch all of the runoff and an electric pump out to some irrigation. It's a couple years off so plenty of time to keep mulling.
