Did my green beans and got 8 pints off first picking. Finally got a pressure cann er that works on wife’s induction. Only bought a 10qt. it hold 4 pints at time. Has a nice heavy stainless steel bottom. A must for induction. Wife wanted the smaller size for other things to just cook . It’s lite enough for her to handle. I don’t pressure to many things anyway.

Had a hard freeze the 22nd of May so have waited for the soil to warm up. Beans and corn are soaking so will get planted in the morning. Then finish up with the squash.

Yep, and the only thing worse than being hot is being hot and sunburnt.

]]>https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/79018https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/79018Tue, 31 May 2022 19:00:04 GMTprocesshead I completely agree, being retired army I have “camped” from below 0 to well into the 100’s and I don’t care how many clothes you take off it is still hot!

It was cold since the source is snowmelt. That kid loves that creek, along with the dogs.

]]>https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/78882https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/78882Mon, 30 May 2022 00:31:22 GMTprocesshead One good thing even with warm weather, we have 6 acres all to ourselves. Just have to be observant of the grandkids when it comes to taking off to many clothes. I don’t think I’ll be showing to much skin anyhow. The grandkids hit the creek since it never gets above 50 degrees

You can always put on another layer of clothing in cool weather.
You can only take off so much in hot weather and still maintain community standards for decency.

]]>https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/78775https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/78775Sat, 28 May 2022 20:10:22 GMTkyle Taking a break for the long weekend, up at our place in the foothills. Only trouble, it’s raining but we are dry in the fifth wheel and we have our covered 30x30 area with the fire pit right next to it. It is cold though with the rain, sweatshirt weather and the mosquitos are out.

]]>https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/78759https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/78759Sat, 28 May 2022 18:23:58 GMTkyle wow, we just got most everything in two weeks ago with the weather warming up. We had a couple of cold mornings in the mid 30’s when the nights cleared, but thing are popping up. My beans are just pushing out of the ground, but the cilantro came up in February from volunteer seed and lasted through hard frosts and now is like a weed. I hope you guys find some warmth up in the northern reaches of WI, you can have some of the rain we are getting hit with now. We are still getting snow in the high mountains.

]]>https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/78730https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/78730Sat, 28 May 2022 03:35:04 GMTprocesshead mine are not even planted yet. We had another frost advisory last night

]]>https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/78728https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/78728Sat, 28 May 2022 03:07:11 GMTprocesshead It is crazy with so much variations, all in the same country. Ours will be worn out before too long. We have dehydrated two huge batches for Leather britches & eaten three pretty decent batches fresh. There should be a bumper soon I hope, not that the Sun has finally come out.

More power to you.
