I started by cutting wire and attaching it to the rebar panels.
Vegetable starts
I was working away when my brother Tom came by in his golf cart and asked if I wanted any vegetable starts as he had some and was planting. I said sure.
But that meant I had to prep some more spots in the garden. Here’s the part of the garden where I wanted to plant the starts. Some of them are already in the ground.
Digging up the ground
I dug up the ground here for some tomato starts.
Here is one of the tomato starts just after I planted it.
Squash and cucumber starts.
It took awhile to get all the starts in the ground but I was glad to have them as now I’ll have some veggies a couple weeks sooner.
Back to the panels
After a break I got back to putting the wire on the rebar panels.
I use the pig clips on the good side, uncut, but the cut side needs to be folded over and the ends turned to hold things together.
Here’s the cut side before folding the end under and bending the tabs to hold it together.
This piece is finished off, folded with the ends bent over. You can see where I used clips on the uncut side.
I finished the second panel just before dark and wanted to get it installed.
Putting the panels up for the main chicken run
I installed the two panels I constructed today here which will be the main chicken run.
Here’s another view of the main chicken run area that I worked on today.
Wow blueberries
I got that done and it wasn’t quite dark yet, so I walked around the yard to check things out. I found a few blueberries ripe so I ate them. They are just starting to ripen so these are the first ones of the year.
Potato plants
The potato plants growing in the blueberry patch are doing well. That’s all the green plants you see that don’t have berries on them.
There are over a hundred pictures that are served up randomly every time you visit or change pages. They are of earlier pictures of interest and also some just to remind me of things.
A Sony AX33 4K, a video camera that takes stills too. What am I doing with that? I take pictures from my Kayak a lot. I found I was missing interesting shots, because my pic was being processed in my camera, before it would let me take another pic. Since I like to take what I call action stills, I bought this camera to take videos, that I could make stills out of, but, as a bonus, this camera also came with buttons to just take stills and that's what I mostly do, unless something is real interesting or too far away for my still zooms. My digilat zoom setting for video goes to two hundred x, and sometimes I need that, but usually, I only use the 10x lens zoom. Because this camera is HD and 4K, the quality has to be real good and it has a lot of stabilizers on it which really helps out a lot for taking pics on the water.
The other thing it has that is a must is a view finder and I had to buy Sony's top of the line cam to get it. This is a must for taking pics on the water, as you must hold the camera as still as posible and putting that eye piece to the eye forms a tripod with your arms that helps a lot. The eye piece is also a must as it works way better than a LED screen to see what you are taking a picture of in the daylight as the LED screens wash out easily in sunlight.
I also have another video camera, a Canon VIXIA G30. I use them both to mostly take stills. The Sony takes higher resolution stills than the G30. That was a bit of a disappointment as I bought the G30 to replace an older camera I dunked in the river, but then had to buy the Sony to get higher still picture resolution that the G30 was lacking.
