<\/a>Currants bend you over and twist your arms and legs to get into position. \u00a0Gooseberries do all of that, plus the plant fights back with alien-simulating probes. \u00a0I’m going to find out what the evolutionary advantage of spines are. \u00a0We have raspberries, gooseberries and black locust, all spiny. \u00a0The gooseberries and the black locust put off humans and the raspberries are no fun. \u00a0What’s the point? \u00a0Ha, ha.<\/p>\nThere were enough currants, gooseberries and the last of the cherries and blueberries for Kate to make what she calls tartlets. \u00a0These are carb light, much more so than pies and very tasty.<\/p>\n
We’ll probably pull more carrots and beets today or tomorrow, too. \u00a0Today or tomorrow as well I’m going to check the honey supers, just to see where are and I may head out to Stillwater to get a mite treatment. \u00a0This is an organic method that is food quality so there’s no negative effect on the honey. \u00a0I’m hoping this will increase my chances of over-wintering this strong colony.<\/p>\n
The new bee area will require some chain saw work, creating both space and wood for the One example, then I’m done. \u00a0When Kona was young, we had her tested by a cardiologist who found a heart murmur. \u00a0They prescribed vasotec twice a day. \u00a0We gave it to her wrapped in sliced turkey. \u00a0I’ve mentioned this here before. \u00a0Since dogs understand fairness, that means everybody gets a slice of turkey, before bedtime and after the morning feeding. \u00a0Kona is dead now so there is no longer a reason to continue the turkey aside from the fact, and a big deal, that all three dogs have never known any bedtime ritual that doesn’t include the turkey. \u00a0We’ll keep on with it. \u00a0A good example of how traditions get started.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lughnasa \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Moon of the First Harvests Jobs I would not want to have. \u00a0Commercial harvester of either currants or gooseberries.
