Yes! Headed to western Europe, mostly Germany, for 3 weeks. I was last there in '09 and my friend from there was here Oct. '12 for 3 weeks. This will be our 5th 2-3 week holiday together since Feb. '07 which was Germany and Morocco combined. She knows every good Kaffee and Kuchen place for miles around her place, so I will come back fat and sassy. Not really...we tend to walk and bike off the Torte. Now, the sassy could happen.
Cold, wet here too....hard to get excited about the garden. However, I see some carrots that volunteered up so I need to see what's up with that. Normally, I get a zucchini or two that pops up like magic.

That sounds mighty fine, Mr. Sassypants.
(must be channeling a bit of Chef here...)
Volunteer zucchini? I planted some for the first time this year. At least, unlike the radish, I'll know some of the things I can do with those.

Yup, big zucchini get left behind in the fall and the seeds seem to germinate every spring. I can't remember when I actually put zucchini seeds in the ground. However, I do not have a squirrel issue like you do....those seeds probably make tasty winter squirrel food.

Radishes......I like 'em sliced and sauteed on the barbie in a little olive oil, especially, if they get a bit too big and become pithy which makes them not-so-hot for slicing in salads.

They get pithy? Good to know. I'll try sauteing them and see what happens. Apparently on pizza isn't a plus, I got voted down on that one. :/

Cherry tomato size is good....a golf ball size and above, depending on the variety, can get pithy in the core. Letting the soil dry out between waterings can make them hotter than normal it seems...mine like evenly moist soil to stay the sweetest.
I like the pizza idea...sliced thin and your family would never know they are there.

Finally got around to the coolant temp sensor for the gauges I put in. I bought a cheap coolant sensor adapter off Amazon (32mm) for the upper radiator hose. The hole in it was 1/8 pipe (too small) so I had it tapped for 1/4" pipe and used the adapter that came with the gauges. Hopefully it's not sticking too far in there, less than half way. If it is I'll stack another adapter on it to pull it further back.

Looks like good readings so I'm sticking with how it's set up for now.
A few flowers on the tomatoes and peppers, corn's a foot tall, pea pods are showing up. Tons of flowers and little green blackberries. Wonder if I'll have enough for jam or something? Radishes taste gross.

A house project? Did I miss this?
I can see what with your being awol during your harvest time why you wouldn't plant this year.

How did I forget that, you had me intrigued with the non-vinyl part.
