sodamo, what are 'white sweet potatoes'?

Not as sweet as the orange ones. Got these at Safeway, but other times at other markets.

The 36th infantry division Jazz Band from camp Mabry preformed at the Sun City Memorial Plaza this evening, a huge turnout over a thousand.

Tomorrow morning their Concert band will preform and we will have a fly-over by Falcon Flight Here it is without the crowd.

Wife says may have been my best roast yet. Cooked hers to 150°F about 4 hours, pulled mine at 120°F at 225° fire then put them back in about 10 minutes to brown up after resting. Seasoned the corn with a bit of olive oil, pepper, & garlic salt. Microwaved 5 min before finishing on the Primo. The sweet potatoes were sweet and flavorful.

68 going to 87.

Just got a few rain drops yesterday after planting 14 tomato plants, 16 pepper plants and 6 okra. Have more flowers to plant. Running really late this year.

Don, that's a wonderful way to honor those special Americans on Memorial Day (Decoration Day). Their Sacrifice has preserved our Freedom.

Good morning all, we are enjoying a 3 day weekend too. Not a memorial event for us, ours is called the "Spring Bank Holiday".

Sorry I didn't make it clear that the picture of pink flowers I took was "Red Campion", a plant that is welcome to grow in our hay meadow, although it generally prefers more shaded places.

I guess you are lucky if you thought it was "Ragwort" as that must mean you don't have it. Although having beautiful bright yellow flowers that are much appreciated by some insects, ragwort (Senecio Jacobea) is a non-native plant that contains toxic alkaloids that persist even when it is baled up in hay or silage. Once eaten the poison accumulates over time in animal livers, often resulting in death to horses and cattle. Deer, goats pigs and chickens are also susceptible. Sheep seem able to tolerate more but they don't thrive afterwards.

Hope the kids have lots of fun in the pool Kyle, I'm sure they will appreciate it all the more for putting some effort into the construction.

I know many of you appreciate a nice garden with a pond - have you ever heard of the Chelsea flower show ? It's an annual highly competitive event where plant lovers congregate to see temporary gardens that are constructed, displayed to the public for a week, then dismantled again.

This year the "winner" of the event was to me an absolute stunner. Someone had the idea to create a pair of leaking canal lock gates as a water feature in a "garden" that looked like it had been there for decades.

Interesting video on how they built it too, if you like that sort of thing.
