          Why yes it is, the extremely rare springer edition. So rare you just go "huh ??"

          Thanks, couldnt do anything yesterday. Went for an eye exam at 1:00 pm and my eyes were still fully dialated at 9:00 pm. They returned to normal over night just in time for three hours in the dentist chair this morning.

            I'll be pulling some green onions to eat this weekend.



            Things are coming up nicely.




            Bought a 450 gallon water tank in case of drought.



            Still some planting left to do after the danger of last frost is over.

              Been eating fresh organic produce from the garden since the end of last month. Plucked these while checking the garden after a brief hail storm this afternoon. No hail damage. The radish is about quarter size, the green onions are huge. This produce was shipped zero miles to arrive at my place.

                Had to go pick some more onions. Ive picked maybe one tenth of one row of five rows. The four on the left are yellow variety and the three on the right are white. Wish you could smell them.

                      It's been a while since i have visited Marcus, definately need another weekend up there.

                      BTW, your garden looks fantastic, we have been eating from ours from the past month or so too...we harvest asparagus every three days.

                        A paint installer?...

                            Can't do any better than that. Your ranch seems to be embodying the best of "green" everything! Keep it up!

                                Thanks for noticing that Karl, green was my point. The solar powered lights and electric fence use renewable resources too. Besides nothing tastes better then food you've grown yourself.
