Dang, Mel! Those pears look fantastic! Bet they would make a tasty pie...a little warm with a nice scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, oh yeah!
My pattypan squash plants are huge and leafy, finally have a few tiny little squash starting to grow now...

Harvested a few Dragon's Tongue Bush beans this evening, tasty.

Sand Pears were the only kind of pear that I knew existed when I was a kid. Like you say, not that great, but I still ate them. I have three Asian Pear trees, supposed to be dwarfs but that is up in Nebraska where Stark Nursery is located (I think). Down here in Alabama I have to keep pruning the trees to keep them under twenty feet tall. The thing about the pears is that I do not have to do any spraying for them to fruit. I have tried plums and peaches and they just would not produce without a lot of spraying that I do not want to do. The pears are completely maintenance free except for harvesting and pruning to keep them small.

Doglegg - it is man against nature in my back yard! I invite the wild life into my little corner of the world and the darn critters behave like wild animals!

That’s a great looking whittler you have my friend.

Mike - my wife planted a few squash plants back in the spring. The plants got huge and had one or two squash on each. Last year they did a lot better. I have never seen Dragon's Tongue Bush beans: they do look kind of like tongues. Nice knife!

"Shucks"... this is kind of the perfect place to put this (it's also my avatar). When the harvest and knife become one! These are an epoxy (raffir) handle with corn husk inside.

Peach, banana peppers, strange looking cucumbers,cherry tomatoes and some odd but tasty tomaters and a fine little paring knife. Life is delicious.

Interesting corn husk handles, Corey.

Homer - just looking at that harvest makes me hungry! Nice knife, too.

I was out in the garden gathering a few things this afternoon. Pears, Rosemary, Sage, Basil, and Onion. Once again I carried my trusty GEC.

Thanks Cudgee and Steve. Definitely some of my favorites.

Boline or Witches blade knife: Made by retired NASA rocket scientist - Dr. Ray Rantanen - This knife is good for gathing herbs , cutting weeds , and defense ! Dr. Ray quenches horseshoe and railroad spike knives in water , salt , and liquid soap. The blade screams during faster cooling and the carbon is trapped in the metal. Results in a stronger , better edge holding blade.

Nice looking jalapenos Steve...I have found the spey blade works great at removing the veins and seeds from chili peppers! Especially the long spey on a trapper

Posted: **Tue Jul 30, 2019 9:36 pm**

Thanks Mike. May have to try that.
These will get sliced and pickled, leaving the seeds in.
Gotta have the heat!!

Nice peppers and knife, Steve. I bet those peppers have plenty of heat when you eat one.

Onearm - that is quite a unique knife you have there. When I look at that knife I think it would be just right for climbing one of my oaks on the winter solstice and gathering some mistletoe.

This looks like a harvest knife to me !

Thanks. I'll eat jalapenos straight out of the jar. Straight off the plant is another story! HOO-BOY!! THEY ARE HOTTTTT!!!

Love 'em!

Harvested some wild grapes (aka muscadines) today with the boys!!

Posted: **Sat Aug 03, 2019 2:19 am**

Nice ones Scottt, we dont have those up here in Wisconsin, they look nice and plump. I have heard of muscadine wine....you ever tried it?

I have. Love it!! Not like, bourbon love, but you know....

There is winery in my area that makes muscadine wine, Perdido Vineyards. I have tried a couple of their wines and found them quite good. Though to be honest I am not a wine connoisseur: beer and bourbon are more my favorites.

When I was a kid my mother would make a few bottles of muscadine wine every year. She only used it for cooking, mostly on fruitcakes. She used Log Cabin Syrup bottles for the wine, and to be honest, I think that by my standards today it was not very good wine. It sure made a fruitcake moist!

A Case 47 SS in Amber bone, along with fresh canned Jalapenos.
