Thank you kindly JJ

I can just imagine that juniper smell from here. Very nice pairing JJ.

Hi Bart, it is dyed karelian burl.
I assume that Eureka functions just fine on the ranch.
I hope your herd does not suffer in these heat waves.

Thanks, the Karelian burl looks great, Bob. I noticed as I caught up in the thread that Jeff has asked the same thing. The eureka has a great blade combo for my needs. The cattle are doing well. It hasn’t been too hot for them. We get delta breezes here which cool it off most every night. I just make sure they have plenty of fresh water. It’s actually going to be pleasant here for the next week or so.
 
I have plenty to do but fixing the garage door just jumped the line into first place.
After coffee and checking out the garden.
Taylor’s Eye Witness Real Lambsfoot, and Case Trapper for me today.C7DD2FE6-1883-4883-8A58-75AD8E911AE9.jpeg
LF and Cherokee Chocolate tomatoes. 13495C5E-BC76-4C04-AE2F-8F1164758925.jpegThis is my third year growing this one, and we put it in First Place in the taste competition, although it is a very close call.
It was supposedly a genetic strain of Cherokee Purple. The tomatoes have brownish streaks coming down from the stem end. I put out a lot of this variety this year.

Wonderful and practical carries Jeff.
Glad your garden is going to give forth a fine crop.

I’ll bet that one’s a joy to own and use. It’s a very elegant looking Jack.

Thank you, and you'd be correct it really is a joy. The bare head wood covers with a small bolster make it lightweight in the pocket and I love a large spear blade.

Thank you on both accunts, my friend.

It may seem ridiculous having such a big garden for three people, but I think my year as a partner in an organic market farm taught me some practices that have carried over. Things like succession planting, where you harvest and replant to keep it growing.
Besides canning and freezing as much as possible, and of course, eating fresh food, I have lots to share. Besides taking care of our parents, we just found out that a woman at our new church works at some kind of medical facility for poor folks, and they are needing lots of fresh food to provide. So I plan on taking food for her too.
