    What are you watching?

    My wife watches This is Us. She was so excited after the start of this season. I don't watch it but it must have been good. I'm waiting for 911 to come back on.

    Leaf blower

    If you have a large area, I would say a lawn sweeper. I even just mow over the leaves to mulch them down. I think it would take too long to use a leaf blower.

    That horrible 4-letter word

    Snow... no way! It's too early for that. Mother Nature has been crazy here too. Is everyone getting ready for the colder weather and snow? I'm not but hopefully this weekend we will be closer.

    Do you have a buddy?

    It's funny you say that, I also have a goat (Gus) that follows me around. He's a real pain in the butt but he is my pal. My friend has a goat that does the same. I wonder if it's just a goat's way, to be chummy.

    Cost of lumber

    Tell me about it! The cost of lumber is crazy here too. There is a huge shortage too. We went looking to buy pressure treated wood to build a picnic table and it was gone!

    Pumpkin seeds

    We plant them in hopes they grow the next year. We don't always have great luck with them though. I have heard people bake them with cinnamon and sugar. Maybe we will try that this year.

    Backyard poultry

    Interesring about geese. I don't think I know anyone who raised them. What's the purpose of geese? Is it for the meat? We raise chickens, the kids love picking them out from Tractor Supply each year.

    Pulling out stumps

    We are looking to buy a piece of machinery that will help us in pulling out old tree stumps. Some of these stumps are very large in diameter. I tried using a chainsaw and hooking up the tractor but it didn't work. Thoughts?

    Ever heard of soap nuts?

    I have never heard of them. I'm not the one who does laundry though. I checked with my wife and she said she has heard of them but won't try them. She uses Tide or Perisil.

    Extreme Tools Vs Snap On

    I have never heard of Extreme Tools. When I searched, I found toolboxes too. I don't care for Snap On tools. I think they are overpriced.

    Bush versus pole beans

    That isn't something I've ever heard of either - 3 sisters. I'm going to have to look into that. That sounds pretty impressive. It also sounds like it would take less room in the garden.

    Buying from auction

    Oh, they exist. I go to two every year. I also go to the Amish farmhouse sales. I usually buy from the Amish and have had excellent luck. They don't sell everything though. Last year at the plant auction, they had several different kinds of flowers that I hadn't seen before. I think I'll buy to...

    What kind of spring cleaning are you doing? We clean our barn all the time. We have the guys that work for us help clean. I'm wondering what you're doing to see if we are doing the same.

    Tomato Cages

    Interesting topic. I have used a few store bought cages. You are right, they aren't sturdy enough. We actually switched to running our tomatoes up over a trellis. We stake them when they are small. The trellis gives them the room to move, spread out and thrive.
