Hey don’t be throwing around the F word around here!
I have a bed replanted in lettuce, spinach, and arugula that’s only 2” high.
As long as that F holds off, I can get a second cool weather harvest.

I enjoy seeing your harvest and canning efforts, Dave. Last Sat I used up the last of my quart mason jars on another batch of mango salsa.

Thanks Jeff. Sorry about the F word! We're on the edge here this weekend, and I'm almost out of jars and lids. I have to water the vegetables by hand, and we're in a real drought, so I'm just as glad to have the garden wind down.

Thanks JJ :D :thumbsup:

Talking of tasty treats, I've managed to combine my Saturday hike with a 3 course pit-stop this week! :D ;) Hope everyone has a great weekend :) I'll be carrying these three, Hartshead Barlow, Issard Violon, Enzo Elver :thumbsup:

What on earth is that pattern called? I love it. Looks like it's great at hiding the points of blades.

It's a GEC #76 Outlaw Jack.
Basically a serpentine gunstock pattern, which is great for keeping the secondary blade in front, but low-riding enough to not block the nail mark of the main blade behind it. Great pattern!

Mine... You can see how nicely the nail marks are stacked.

Wondering what my sowbelly stockman is this week? Let me show you - it's a Rough Rider carbon steel sowbelly:

Curious about what my "regular" stockman is this week? It's actually somewhat irregular, being a Case humpback stockman with a spear main (thanks, Mike):

Another excellent foursome, sir. :)

Yes quite pleasing to the eye. I’ll bet you grin every time you pull it out.

I hear that! The only thing scarcer than rain in July and August was canning supplies in the stores!

I always enjoy seeing some harvested goods in these pictures. It often defines the climate and season where the picture was taken. Here along the hot Texas coast we don't harvest anything this time of year. Everything is locked in survival mode in the blistering hot summer and demands water daily for survival. My various hot pepper plants are just beginning to set blooms again for the fall crop we will harvest in early to mid December. Eating fresh grown fruits and vegetables is important for your health. Grandpa always carried a traditional knife to sample and enjoy these blessings while in the field. Let us continue the tradition. And if your bounty is abundant, kindly share with the less fortunate.
