Perfect. Thanks. Looks like they only affect that plant which I now know is canna. Oregon is completely different then anything I knew in Austin.
We we cut the one artichoke. Now to see what to make with it. Pretty crazy that it voulenteers and re grows. We have done. Nothing to it as far as maintaining because we are still learning what we have around here.
What the hell is this? Artichoke? Flower turns purple when it blooms. These are mostly all volunteers popping up. Something munching on the leaves Volunteer raspberry and some sort of white wine grape vine, Lilly’s just popped up also. and the finished fence. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
After some thought and a little internet sleuthing I’m hoping that is the route I can go. I’m in Portland. We need ac maybe two months a year here. Heater is another thing but no one lives downstairs so we could get by shutting it down all together or putting in a portable heater the 3-4 times a year someone comes over and stays.
in the winter the down stairs (split level home, 1\2 buried in the side of a hill) is cold as hell and to heat it up the upstairs (main living and master) are way to hot. Summer the downstairs is cold as hell and the upstairs is comfortable. Seems the system isnt balanced or maybe just need a second unit? Is balanceing the system or redsiging the duct work a major issue in that i need a competent HVAC guy or is this like changing the oil for a master mechanic? Seems ive seen that it takes specific know how to properly balance or design duct work.
Im not in austin so no specific places needed just the type of place.
I found my old wedding band this weekend while finally finishing up the unpacking of the new house. ITs bound to be worth something isnt it? Gold and platinum. WHere can i sell it for something worth my time. I assume pawn shops would bend you over. Regular jewelry stores buy old gold?
Funny story. I thought I was a mountain biker when I lived in Austin. Then I moved to Oregon and I learned what mountain biking is. Lol. I was a Hill biker when I was in Austin. Not to take away from anyone or anybody mountain biking I just realized the difference. Most trails here start out several miles going up the mountain. But damn it beautiful up here. Here are a few pictures from our first fat tire snow ride we did in Bend Or a couple weeks ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Like I said. Our first attempt at gardening. We are in Portland Oregon. Planted is some carrots, lots of leafy shit. Kale and lettuce and cauliflower and broccoli. Asparagus( does it really take three years before that can produce?) onion, beets and some herbs.
Carrots said to mend soil with lime? Is that something y’all have done? We haven’t tested soil here but there were tons of volunteers that came up last year in the form of tomatoes and squash.
Tomatoes are in the green house seeded.

Wait a minute.... this is a real thing? People have sent in 200m American dollars to save a store that is failing? Jesus. What has social media done to this country.
I’m pretty fond of richer-poorer.com. Columbia makes one that is Omni wick advanced evaporation that is probably my favorite. Briefcase I’d avoid. Not a huge fan of.
We live in Portland or. Should be fine. Our summmer doesn’t start until mid July and ends about end of aug. 😀.
On on the other hand blackberry is a weed up here. It literally all over the place and mostly where you don’t want it. It is nuts how fast it grows and takes over shit. Can’t kill the fucker either with roundup or the like.
Fence finished except stain. New dirt to mix in. Mulch go no on walking paths this weeekdn. It’s a big freak n garden but we are starting small since we haven’t done this before. Cilantro, hot pepper, tomatoes (forget the kind), carrots, beets( couple different flavors) , kale, broccoli, onion, probably a couple others things I forgot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
