Swiss Chard Update

They are actually doing well in the house. They aren't growing real fast and I have only gotten one cutting from them so far during the winter but 4 of the 5 (or was it 5 out of 6, hmmm) plants lived. The leaves are nice and dark green. This strain was called Bright Lights with different colored stems and the stems all have nice color. So far I would call this a success, but not a runaway success since they are growing so slowly. The next test will be putting them back out in spring and seeing what they do. Stay tuned!

I dug up the last of the carrots yesterday and found that apparently slugs like to overwinter in the tops of carrots. Yuck! Luckily I only lost a couple since there was only a handful left.

Fixing Weber-type Charcoal Grill Legs

Do you have a charcoal grill? After awhile if you have moved it around do the legs come out? I have two of these grills and they both have this problem. But then again I did get both of them out of the trash! I suppose they were in the trash in the first place because their owner was tired of dealing with the legs coming out. The problem is that the legs are typically just crimped as you see below instead of firmly attached. Well, we are going to fix this! First, what you will need is a drill, a small-ish drill bit, and either 3 screws long enough to go all the way through the leg with nuts to go with them, or 6 rivets and a rivet gun. The drill bit naturally will be sized to fit the size of the screws or rivets. I like rivets because with screws there is a chance the nuts will come loose and then you are going to have wobbly legs again. Rivets are a permanent fix. So now that you have everything you need, drill a hole through the leg where it attaches to the grill. Make sure ...

Shovel Handle Repair

Don't you hate when this happens? There you are digging in the garden and try to pry out a sapling stump and SNAP! If you can part with an old friend it is time to go buy a new shovel. If not (can you tell how much I have worn down the tip on this shovel?) it is time to replace the handle. Step one: Remove the Handle Notice where the rivet is installed through the handle.  Find the pre-formed end.  Look at the other side.  If it has been flattened much bigger than the hole through the shovel you will need to cut it off.  A Dremel tool with a cut-off wheel is the way to go.  Don't forget the safety glasses.  Now take a punch and hammer and knock the rivet through the shovel shaft.  Now you can knock the piece of the broken handle out of the shovel shaft. Step two: Fit and Drill the Hole in the New Handle But where to get your new handle?  I just read an article that mentioned the House Handle Company (http://househandle.com/index.ht...

Dinosaur Prints

I had the good fortune to take a step back in time 215 million years.  My brother-in-law and his son work for a construction company and were working near the Luck Stone quarry in Culpeper, VA. http://www.luckstone.com/content/culpeper Years ago as the quarry was mining stone dinosaur prints were found in a reddish colored layer of stone.  Some of the prints were cut out and now are displayed in the Smithsonian Institute.  As luck would have it we were allowed to not only go into the quarry to see the prints, but we were able to make several plaster casts of them. It was very cool to drive into the plant and see the equipment and then down into the quarry.  I don't often drive into a big pit!  The quarry is still active and water seeps into it so there are some pretty big water pumps that constantly pump it out.  After a lot of rain the pumps may not keep pace and the prints will be under water.  This is a view of the quarry from the bottom....
