I’m so pleased with how these steps turned out! Btw, did you know that if The Home Depot has items for sale out in the parking lot you can take a picture of the item’s bar code and scan that picture at the register instead of schlepping giant boards through the parking lot, the store, the checkout line, and back through the parking lot to your vehicle? 👍👍

Plenty of space in my Highlander (yay, I have my car back!) for 8 foot boards. No problem. Tell me what you’ve hauled in your “not a truck” vehicle.

Is this the doggie equivalent of flipping your pillow to the cool side? 🤣

I think this is going to work. Wide, sturdy, chonky steps for the greenhouse. Unfortunately I need to go back to the store for one more board.

Thinking of Mr. Ewell today and my 6/7th grade wood shop class. Goshen Elementary

Made a couple batches of egg noodles. Easy way to use up extra eggs. And super yummy with cheese sauce. SSH! Don’t tell my waistline. 🤫

I’m trying an experiment this year with my sweet potatoes: Will a rooted slip produce more potatoes than a rooted potato with multiple slips? I have about 50/50 slips and full potatoes and they are planted in separate beds. Time will tell. Have you ever tested this?

In case you’re wondering, this variety is Georgia Jet and I purchased slips from Morgan County Seeds in 2022. Sweet potatoes are a buy once and feed your family forever food!

It’s easy to find a marked queen, this blue dot lady 🔵 is a 2025 queen. But can you spot an unmarked queen? 👑 🐝

Manifold concept for the greenhouse watering system. Getting close to being functional here!
