Hello, all you fine people on Palnet and Steem!
This is my first post on palnet, I figured that it was time to give it a spin, now that it's live. This is pretty much a post about random things that don't fit into a topic specific post.
We have a cottonwood tree in our yard, right now it's doing the thing that is responsible for it's name. It's dropping it's pollen, or whatever it is, in profuse amounts. It almost looks like snow on the yard and garden. A bit of a breeze sends this stuff flying everywhere.
Speaking of the garden, I'm almost done with the planting at home now. I still have to plant some Yukon Gold potatoes, but that it. The rows in the foreground are planted with popcorn.
I'm also almost done with the planting at my community garden plots. One of the plots is planted with Norland Red potatoes, and the other plot is planted with Painted Mountain hard corn. This is a type of flour corn that was developed from many Native American strains of corn in Montana.
My greenhouse tomato plants are growing nicely now. They seem to like the heat of the greenhouse, but I have to remember to water them regularly because they don't get rained on.
Now for something different. A week or so ago, I bought a short scale guitar neck on Ebay to use as the neck for an electric baritone ukulele that I'm planning on building in the near future. Now that I have the neck, I need to come up with a body and hardware for it. This is a Fender Starcaster guitar neck.
And for something completely different, a couple of weeks ago, I bought a small camper trailer, one of the "canned ham" type trailers. This thing is a serious project camper, it's just the shell. It had been gutted to be rebuilt. I think this trailer may be older than I am, but I'm not sure. It's supposed to be an old Shasta camper, but there's no markings or identification plates on it anywhere. It's a single axle camper, so it's small enough for me to pull it with my vehicle. It's going to need a lot of work to get it ready to use, but I'm not in any hurry, so that's not a problem.
Well, I guess I've put up enough pictures for this post, thanks for stopping by to check them out!
