Got a call back from Officer Furia, Batavia PD. She reports neighbors were interviewed. Ed was was taken to the local hospital and is now in a nursing home. The officer could not tell me which one, she did not know and is somewhat restricted in disclosing info to non relatives. So, we can call the nursing homes in Batavia and see if they have him or will even disclose that, HIPPA strikes again! At least he is alive and being looked after. Thanks. I think we could see that coming from his posts and our phone conversations. What we have to look forward to.

Nothing much from the garden today. Just a few Hungarian and banana peppers. There are some eggplants that are about ready to be picked. Everything is slowing down. I may pick some tomatoes that are green and try to ripen them in the house. I'll be pulling the remaining broccoli plants and a few other things that aren't producing anymore.

Harvested the last of the broccoli side shoots and took out the plants. Likewise, the jalapeños. I found a couple tomatoes that were starting to color. Picked those, too.

Sounds like you're wrapping it up for the season, Pete. Do you do anything to the beds in the Fall to prepare them for Spring?

Sounds like you're wrapping it up for the season, Pete. Do you do anything to the beds in the Fall to prepare them for Spring? It's a slow wrap-up. Still plenty of stuff growing. When everything's out, I'll add composted manure, shredded leaves and grass clippings. Although, I mulch the boxes with my grass clippings throughout the season. I don't use chemicals on the lawn.

Rain all day today. We needed it as we've only had a half inch in 2 months. Had a couple of big grass fires last week. 71° at 2:30 pm

nice cool day, about 70 at the peak. Mixed clouds and sunshine. Unfortunately, I spent most if it sleeping. Nap in the morning and in the afternoon. Almost two hours for both. Puts a damper on getting things done around here.

Mid August is the time to plant broccoli in Michigan. I only did tomatoes this year after moving but going to get some faster broccoli in the next few days, some radishes, maybe some other fall greens.

The last few days it had been extremely smokey in Vegas from the San Bernardino wildfires. Today I woke up in Henderson and it was like driving through a fog, all the way to Kingman you could barely see the hills. Maybe at some point, there will be nothing left burn-able in California. Good to be home, this was a grueling one...but I survived.

The nurseries around here don't usually carry starts for fall crops. I might plant radish seeds, though. Soil is too warm for germinating lettuce seed.

You just successive plant fall lettuces 4-8 weeks before frost. Should be able to put seed down next week. Never heard of broccoli starts, but it likes to start in the hot and grow into the cold. From seed. Haven’t grown it in three years, but I last put bok choy and broccoli down in my potato bed right after I pulled my potatoes in September.

Still less than usual. I was experiencing problems with it being too low.

I think it's too late for me to start broccoli from seed. Besides, ill be really busy putting the garden and yard to bed for winter. But, in the interest of eating good, home grown vegetables, I think I can prep one of the garden boxes for leaf lettuces, beet greens and radishes. Pretty much end the season the way it began.

Absolutely, broccoli for the most part in your zone in Michigan is to be planted around August 15th. There are shorter varieties mostly for the leaves instead of florets but I agree with you. When I reach the fall, I’m ready to put it all away as well.

I just had an evening smoke with my corn cob. Did I just say corn cob?
"Rudyard Kipling once visited Mark Twain at his summer house in Elmira, N.Y. While there Kipling was said to have taken Twain to task for smoking Turkish tobacco in a "lowly American corn cob pipe." Twain was said to have replied that "This Sir, is not a corn cob pipe. It is a Missouri Meerschaum."
Well I just smoked some Country Squire's: Black and Tan in a Mark Twain Missouri Meerschaum and I can't express how much I enjoyed it.

One of my favorites growing up and he likes them too That is pretty cool. I never got into Megadeth, but I can appreciate where you are at. I took my 35YO daughter to Alan Parson’s Project twice, Aussie Floyd once, and The Eagles once… nice to be on common ground.

Nice day today. Got 3.5 inches of rain in the last 2 days. Just right. I did get the mower fixed and finished the yard Tuesday.
