Make hay while the sun shines

 

Perfect weather for working outside

We are not watching Quicksilver today so I am making hay while the sun shines. Posting will be light.

This is the base for a three-cell rabbit jail. The base of the cages is 36" above ground and the footprint is sized to fit a 92" by 60" truck cap. The portion between the two parts, the base and the cap, will be 16" tall and each cell will be roughly 30-1/2" across by 60" long with doors on each end.

The jail will be divided into three parts that can be separated to facilitate moving and cleaning.

Apples

This is "Liberty" grafted on MARK, an obsolete apple rootstock of the M26 size class.

What I picked while standing on the ground.

Tomatoes

A row of Stupice tomatoes. 95% of our canned tomatoes are Stupice because they ripen early and they keep pumping out tomatoes. The losses due to snails and other wildlife were much lower on Stupice than on the Ace 55.

 

The row of Ace 55. Still producing. I will plant two plants of it next year. That will be enough to keep us in BLT sandwiches with a few extra to give away.

Coffee-break is over

Time to go back to work.
