Thanks, Ron. I stand corrected. I forgot it is the 78 that is the Dreamliner, not the triple 7. In either case, I'll wait for the accident investigation. Usually takes the NTSB about 6 months to get a prelim. released.

Jinman, it sounds like your garden is doing good. We started off with just peppers. The last few years have been rough on my tomatoes. They would turn black on the bottom just as they started to get ripe. So we were not going to do any.
Then one of Margie's friends gave her 13 banana cantaloupe seeds. I planted those and 11 or 12 of them came up. As they were growing, she decided she wanted some cukes and melons too. And a few tomato plants. I planted a few melons seeds from the freezer. Some labeled 'long green good' and some 'icebox.' I squeezed the cukes right up against the fence, past the cantaloupes.
Seeing the young melons growing made me want more. I took down the fence and tilled as far as the waterline would let me. I planted more of the Long green good, and icebox, plus some yellow meat and what I think is Crimson Sweet. I used to truck farm, and CS were my favorite melon to sale. The older ones have small melons on them and the newest ones have blooms.
I did buy three of the larger jalapeno. Either two jumbo and one mammoth, or vice versa. They were $3.00 per plant. But the rest of the jalapeno are just the cheapo four packs from Walmart. Some of them are just as big as the expensive ones. I noticed I didn't post any pictures of the sweet banana before. I took some pictures today while I was out there, so I'll post a couple. The big long green pepper is a Marconi. From the name, I'm guessing it is Italian. They are a mild pepper and good for stuffing. And the small ones are habaneros. They are just beginning to turn.
I'm having trouble posting pictures from photobucket. I will try to upload a few straight from my computer. It's much slower, but I'll do as many as I can before I get off work.
Alright, it finally finished. Left to right, two of the sweet banana, two of the cukes, my biggest melon[about nine inches], a small melon beside a banana cantaloupe, baby icebox, Marconi peppers, Habanero peppers, the biggest cantaloupe and Jalapeno peppers.

Good morning folks!
It's a lovely sunny and warm day here in Scotland this morning with temperatures in the 20s.
Got the blades for the mower through the post so later on I'll get the lawn mown.
Hope everybody is doing well (and not suffering from hayfever like I am) and has a good Tuesday.

68 this morning and cloudy chance of storms later. Rain chances through out the week. If it did not rain here anymore until October we would then be at normal. Good morning

Well I don't get here that often to post but this morning we are trying to dry out. Our house is ok but a lot are not in this area. Richmond Hill just north of Toronto, Ontario. We had approximately 120+ mm of rain in an hour yesterday at 5:00pm, and then some more storms overnight. Roads flooded and power out. The power just came on this morning not sure if it will stay on, so I think I will be off to Starbucks for coffee this morning. Power is still off in many areas of the city. More rain predicted for today and tomorrow. Be well all.

Morning.
Scattered t-storms, hazy, hot and humid. In the 90's.
Surprized yesterday, no rain. I got home and had a fence installed, too bad the ground was not "finished quality grading". Oh well.
I screwed a new building in place, almost passed out twice, heat and bending over, ran electric to my new pond, buried some conduit, and inspected my new building for drywall work I will probably farm out. I hate drywall.
Be well, stay cool.
