Repeat after me: I am free

Stupid Dog

Posted on October 14, 2009 by Brian Gallimore

I was pretty happy with my fall garden progress, I had a good crop of lettuce, peas, and spinach well on their way. You might be able to guess what I thought when I looked out the window Monday morning to see Dasher nested in the garden! It looks like he traveled up and down the length of the bed several times, digging up various areas to find that perfect pillow-top feel.

Golf Cart Loses Wheel

Posted on October 14, 2009 by Brian Gallimore

You might remember me bitching about these little golf carts we have to ride on a while back, so I felt the need to take a few pictures of one of them today. I never did hear who rode in on this one, guess they are lucky the wheel didn’t fall off while they were in transit.

And a close up

Garden Update – October 11, 2009

Posted on October 11, 2009 by Brian Gallimore

I’ve had some little broccoli and spinach seedlings for over a week now, but it has been raining every day it seemed. I put on my work boots and slopped through the backyard to get them in the dirt this evening. The rain gauge had 5″ of rain in it. I tore out 4 okra plants that were getting huge. I never did harvest the okra, not sure I’ll plant any of this next year.
These are a few lettuce plants I bought from North Haven Gardens a few weeks ago. This cool wet weather seems to make them pretty happy.
Here are some little spinach plants popping up from seed planted a few weeks ago. I’m told that spinach will grow all winter long in the DFW area. I hope they are right.
The pepper plants are still producing. I wonder how much longer it will be before they give up with our cold weather. I need to pick off some of the peppers and save the seeds. Those little bell peppers are the best tasting ones I’ve ever had. I’m going to plant lots of them next year.
The cantaloupe has pretty much died too. I was hoping for more production out of these plants. The fruit I did get was very tasty.
The pole beans I planted in the spring are still producing, even though I haven’t keep them picked. The pre-made nylon string webbing worked better than the natural fiber twine I used. I’ll try to stock up on this stuff for next year.
The pole beans I planted with my corn in the early spring are still producing too. They would have been better off with something to climb, but I just left them in the bed to add nitrogen to the soil for next year.

The New Train Table

Posted on October 11, 2009 by Brian Gallimore

We went and picked up a train table from a family that has kids that are older and no longer play with it. Bryson really likes it. He has not wanted to leave it alone all weekend. There are little embedded RFID chips in different parts of the track that make the motorized train engine do different things like stop, whistle, and turn on its lights. I’ve had a good time playing with it too! (Please disregard the muddy window in the background)
