Good Morning All. Partly cloudy and 65°. A brief but relatively quiet thunderstorm passed by around 1:00 am that left me 0.2" of rain in the gauge. Thunderstorms are still in the forecast for the next ten days with high temperatures rarely reaching above 80°. Humidity right now is 97%, Ugggh!☹ There's absolutely no wind.
Once it dries out today, I need to remove all of the lettuce, spinach and broccoli plants from the garden. They're all done for the spring and have served their purpose. I only processed one batch of frozen spinach; that's all that I planned on. Just no room in the freezer right now for more. I also need to start the onion/garlic/shallot harvest this week, as all of the tops have died back and fallen over. Typically I will leave them on top of the ground for a week or so to dry out before clipping the tops and storing them for the summer in a warm dry place. Looks like this year, they'll stay on top of the ground just long enough to wash the dirt off before moving under the shelter of the train shed porch to dry before processing and final storage.
How about some of Mel's Memorial Omelet this morning Flo. Please add a handful of bacon on the side.

Here's yesterday's progress pictures from the train shed.
Everything laid out in what I intend to be close to the final plat.

Close up shows that I have a bit of fixing to do on the outside toolbox!
Bob - I like your local scenery pictures. My area is relatively flat and trees only exist along the banks of waterways for the most part.
Sherrel -
WILLIE - What style of roof is that - don't think I have seen that before?
That's known as a weight on the rafters to hold them in place while the glue dries.
Chad -
We grew them in pots in the back yard since we just rent this place.
My friend who lives in an apartment takes bags of potting soil, pokes a few holes in the bottom for drainage, and puts small slits in each end to plant two plants/bag. He does this on his balcony.
Karl - Very nice looking planter. Watch the spearmint though, it will overrun the whole thing on all levels.
Indianapolis 500 today. Cheer from home!
Everyone have a great day.
