    Tell us something we don’t know.

    The bridge was knocked down, blocking the port of Baltimore. Last year 25K tons of chocolate came through that port. I'm scared!

    Who rides motorcycles?

    With a 17 inch front wheel, The PC is hardly a scooter. Call it a Ne'er-a-bike" Though I have looked hard at the model for other reasons.

    Recommendations for wood chipper for small material

    You have no need of a chipper or a shredder. Though I have run chips obtained from the line crews through the shredder to "better"* the texture as mulch. * My wife determined that the chips were better after reprocessing. ;-)

    Who rides motorcycles?

    I "wish" Someone would manufacture a Scooter with the the "looks" and all the good aspects of a Vespa P200e, but with a engine more in line with good 500 cc twin cylinder. An honest 25 HP would do. NOT a Berger-mister! ;-)

    Vegetable Garden 2024

    Garlic ?

    Multi varieties? Nope! Not me. I bought from a grower/ friend 20 bulbs, about 10 years ago. I've just been replanting these same cloves from the bulbs as they yield each year. I did get some soft neck garlic from my daughter that she had harvested in New Mexico. Some soft neck type that...

    Garlic ?

    I'm no pro, been growing a years worth (70-80 bulbs) every year for about 10 years now. I've had the garlic greens come up through the snow without damage. The plant is tough! At least the firm neck variety I have is. I can't say for soft neck.

    Tell us something we don’t know.

    During the most recent ice age, 30 to 15 thousand years ago, northern Alaska was NOT covered in ice. Nor was eastern Russia and China. The "Ice Age" was in fact quite localized to Scandinavia and North America. But the "dryness" due to all that frozen water, had it's effect around the globe.

    Are tractors and equipment a good investment right now?

    You know, "investments" in dollars have never done a lick of work around the yards, for me. It always takes real hands, backs and machines to get anything accomplished. Perhaps I measure "return on capital" differently than some do.
