Thanks Gary
No not home grown, don't have enough room to keep up with demand. Tomatoes are the wife's favourite and we eat loads of them.
This season i have chilli, basil and spinach growing.

Thanks for the info, Mitch. :thumbsup::thumbsup:
My wife is a fan of fresh whole tomatoes, but I'm definitely not. (I do like tomato products such as salsa, chili, tomato sauce for pasta, etc.)

Gary, at times they seem like a plague. Without my glasses, I was initally stepping on them, thinking they were insects. I wish they would eat more of the no see ems.

After digging the beds down 6 inches and holes, I filled them with proper top soil. I cannot imagine anything worthwhile growing in the clay alone. I couldn't even grow cotton in this cement!

Sounds like a LOT of tiny frogs, Bob! :eek:
Putting top soil in your flower beds dug into clay makes "nutritional" sense to me. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Attractive images Gary :) I've been having some issues with my PC photo editing recently. I usually just crop, and make a few minor adjustments, but when I save the pic, the colours are adjusted, and really not at all to my liking, with very garish reds. I suspect it might be an unwanted AI feature, but can't figure out how to disable it :(

Thank you my friend :) :thumbsup:

Tool Man went to a very good school Gary, it was APPROVED (to paraphrase one of my granddad's old jokes)! :D ;)

That IS a coincidence :) Sounds like an interesting read :) :thumbsup:

Sorry to hear that your photo editor has developed a mind of its own, Jack; some technology is getting quite scary. :rolleyes:
I like reading for entertainment more than I like watching TV or movies. Reading seems to "engage my mind" more, creating my own mental images of the scenes I'm reading, instead of passively accepting whatever the camera shows me.

Yes, they still sell knives, and lots of other useful things :) I can't really blame them for not wanting to deal with Wright's :rolleyes: Your wide and daughter picked you out a nice Lamb, in Union Jack, Gary. There are times I have looked through Barnitt's entire stock, and every single Lambsfoot was a dud :( Thanks for the kind words my friend :) :thumbsup:

I was talking about this phenomena with Tool Man the other day, one of the few advantages of ageing! :rolleyes: ;) :thumbsup:

I was very happy with the lambsfoot my wife brought back from York! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup: I think my daughter probably picked it out, and she had accompanied me on several knife-shopping adventures when I visited her in Spain, so I think she had a reasonably good idea of some of the characteristics I look for when choosing a knife.

That advantage of aging is kind of nice, even though it's also a bit disturbing that some info leaves my memory so quickly. I'll bet I could select a couple of dozen books I enjoy, and spend the rest of my life reading and re-reading that same set of 24 books every year or so! :rolleyes:🤓

Thanks!
It could be that as farm land becomes mansion land, coyotes spread into less pretentious suburbs. My neighborhood has quiet streets and large blocks with bushy interiors. My own block has a field in the middle which my neighbor has stopped mowing, so it's probably pretty close to being tall-grass prairie.
There are plenty of rabbits, squirrels, possums, and coons. The rabbit population especially seems to boom and bust. I suspect the coyotes rotate to booming rabbit populations, bust them, and rotate on.

If you are in urban or suburban North America, you're probably within a mile of a coyote or three. The change won't be them showing up, it'll be them letting themselves be seen. Coyotes are incredibly adaptive, and exist in pretty much all NA environments, especially including human populated areas.
