Another running gear is painted. My buddy, Rick Wilkening and I got the running gear ready to go. So today we got it painted. It didn't take too long, but of course we had to wait for the paint to dry before we could put the wheels back on. While we were...

I have been doing a bit of research on the tomatoes I will be planting out in the field. It seems that the size and character of the plants at the time of transplanting to the field have a marked influence on the yield of early tomatoes. The age of the plants...
