End of garden time of year. Went through the tomato plants and picked everything, pulled up what was left of the plants and made a pile, washed and de-capped all of them...5-gallon bucket of green, 5-gallon bucket of red, 2-gallon bucket of cherry. Looks like I'll be making another batch of green tomato pickles today, cooking them up, anyway, and then can/bottle them tomorrow after they set overnight. We had a really good year with tomatoes, everything really. Need to go and get the last of the green & yellow beans, dig up the onions and bag them up, compost all of the stuff that gets left behind. Completed one window estimate and e-mailed that to the customer, need to do two more...those, I have to ride out to Big Traverse to deliver as the customer is not on-line...some are not, not many, but some. The nozzle to the garden hose took a fritz, too. I'm out there at the bottom of the deck, buckets on steps, cleaning tomatoes and I go to use the hose. What's going on? No water!
I check the valve, yep, in the on position. Harump! What are the odds the village loses water? I have a bunch of tomatoes to clean, so I do that...check the water again...still nothing. Then I decide to unscrew the nozzle and soon as I start I realize the nozzle is no more. Those things never last, unless you have one made 50-60 years ago...those are still going strong.
Happy Weekend!
Enjoy the day!
