Metalworking Hunttalkers!
Depends on the budget. I have a yeswelder 200 and I've been pleased with it so far. I dont trust it to last forever but for the price I couldn't justify jumping up to the next tier of machine. Harbor freight used to be the budget no-brainer but they've gotten a little proud of their machines.- np307

3rd straight day of this heat has started to take a toll. Final squash from the first planting also has a vine borer so I tried injecting it with BT, hopefully that will work. Romas and cherokee purples struggling with blossom end rot. Cherry tomatoes doing really well though, both of the...- np307

Not to tempt fate but it looks like the surgery on the squash plant was successful. Still putting off plenty of new leaves and flowers. Also, I've got a fig on the fig tree so thats cool.- np307

3.5-4 inches of rain since last Thursday, definitely will help make up for the drought but also not great for tomatoes starting to turn. I'll take it though for sure. Another squash got hit with a vine borer so thats 3/4 from the first planting. Think I caught this one early enough but we will...- np307

My brother's a teacher and asked if I could repair some stools from their chemistry lab at some point over the summer. Had the free time today to take care of it.- np307

Vine borers got one of my zucchini plants. Got almost an inch of rain Saturday evening, that was nice. Pulling a couple strawberries off. Saturday I'll probably plant two more squash and zucchini in the bed that had potatoes. Lettuce is just about done with this heat. Tomatoes are humming along.- np307

That other Rinella fella
"Nobody needs to shoot multiple big bull elk a year" Well counterpoint, I'd venture to say nobody I know needs to shoot any game to survive in this modern world. You'd almost always come out ahead by forgoing your hunting trips and picking up extra shifts at work and eating chicken. The...- np307

Lettuce didnt appreciate the heat today. Thankfully it'll be short-lived but still. And surprise, surprise those thunderstorms are now going around us it looks like. Dry as dust here.- np307

Drought is fighting hard but things are doing okay. We had VBS at church last week so things didnt get watered very much but I still was able to pull my first zucchini, squash, and cherry tomatoes of the year. Decided to go ahead and dig potatoes Saturday. Not a great yield, I dont think I...- np307
