I do enjoy seeing that some of the old posters are still around. For several years of trying to cut back it just doesn't seem to work that way. Still gardening, still way too much but still enjoying every minute I can be out in it.

still here, still posting, but not as much.
still working on my anna russian cross tomato project. lempi chocolate is now at f7. we'll see how she goes this summer. more rabbit holes to go down with each passing year. also working on my uncle steve/grandma gina cross pole bean. lots of very good tasting beans coming out of it. each year furthers things along. still have about a pound of bean seeds from 2021. then there is the squash project. genetic roulette is what i am doing. the original players are gills sugar hubbard, emerald gem, sweet fall. tetsukabuto, a hybrid entered the game last year. i am growing out seeds from a squash last year that i call the monstah. it was over 33 lbs, light orange in color with excellent taste. the hubbard hybrid, i have is a green and orange skinned squash with golden orange flesh. flavor is sweet, slightly dry. very good tasting. its coming back. tetsukabuto saved seeds are growing. no idea what the results will be, but thats what makes gardening fun. now, i just need the weather to cooperate a bit so i can get everything planted. a lot of hurry up and wait at the moment here. keith

Keith: what a wide range of projects! My interests are very much narrower and I feel a bit overwhelmed. Good to hear from you and have fun this year.

the tomato, and bean crosses were unplanned. i just decided to run with them,
and see what happens. the squash, i decided to plant saved seeds on purpose again to see what happens. its something to do. i am feeling overwhelmed this year. a lot more work is falling on me with our son in college. my wife was gone a lot too when the lad had some troubles he couldn't handle on his own. he is better now. garden needs to be weeded, plants and seeds need to get planted. work interferes, weather won't cooperate, everything is taking longer, i'm getting older, time marches on. keith

What used to take four hours now extends into two days. You are preaching to the choir. Oops, gotta go…got a baseball game to umpire as if there was nothing else to do.

I wish for more Hours during the Day; to get all my work done.
I miss everyone, and pray that they all come back. It is good to see some of our Old Bubbies Dance in their Tomato Fields like me, Amen!! I stopped Ballet Classes 8 months ago to focus on all this work. But I hope everyone comes back, Amen!
