Thin cut bone in pork chops in the crockpot. Boy, were they greasy. I should have trimmed them first. Lesson learned.

Pork tenderloin (not loin) medallions done in garlic butter. No veggies. Delish !

Ribs - barbecue sauce, doctored pork and beans, cabbage (red and green), carrot, and green onion salad with vinegar/oil/brown sugar dressing.

Got to play lots !

Very nice.

Charcoal grillin' time in the backyard. Turkey burgers for me, hamburger and hot dog for my wife, grilled zucchini and some onions and peppers. Happy Memorial Day.

Cheesy grits (used an aged Irish cheddar) with some pulled pork I did yesterday on top.

Pork steaks.

Grilled elk backstrap, cauliflower puree and brocollini.

Ribeyes and New York’s on the Red Oak Pit! Thanks to my lil bro!

Soft tacos with ground deer, bloomed spices,and a ton of garlic and cilantro.

Looks great CWT.

Bet that mix would make an awesome "Joe's Special"

EdM knows what I talkin bout.

Who's done all the gardening, Miss Deb?😉
She sure looks happy. It turned out very well.

Howdy Tex,

Joint effort, Deb's a "trooper" !

Yes, happy wife, happy life !!

Marinated boneless pork chops off the grill n hash brown tater casserole !



Good eats.

Amazing looking soil,Paul. I assume the bigger box in the pix further above will be for compost but why no treated wood ??

What all do yall have planted Paul? You're right happy wife happy life. I think you picked a good one! 😉👍

Denny, the other photo is the partially built box frames, before assembly, once the base was dug out.

The chemicals in treated wood (CCA) are toxic & we wanted to go as organic as possible.

Cedar, or Douglas fir would have certainly offered us longer life of the beds, as both are naturally rot resistant.

Cost/availability of both were, very prohibitive !!!!!!!!!!

Was going to use raw linseed oil to "stain/preserve", but could only source boiled, once again containing nasty chemicals.

The black soil is a rich organic matter, mixed with loam & "marinated". Basically fully composted material & sand for drainage.

Tex, lotsa good stuff, was Deb's answer !!

Yep, she's a beauty & a keeper !

Here's what I can remember;

4 kinds of lettuce, 3 kinds of peppers, onions, cucumbers, cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, beets, asparagus, 2 kinds of taters & other root veges still to come. Building a half wide box to go beside the others, on the creek side - Current beds are 16'x4' beds, this one will be 16'x2 or 3', space dependant.

I want to be able to mow between the boxes !
