Update on Bushman Land

I'll make this quick before my computer crashes again!
Finally got the propane tank and line moved.  Much better.
It used to be located by the rocks you see in the back of the picture.  I know I'm fussy.

The guys did a nice job.  I gave them each a bag of tomatoes to take home.  They worked hard as you can tell by his shirt.

Now I can finish my landscape.  But first I had to celebrate the milestone with a chicken wing fry.

I set up all my stuff outside because outside is always better than inside.
I made 3 different sauces.  Buffalo, honey bbq and a sweet chili.  I used my camp stove to keep the sauce warm and deep fried the wings in peanut oil.  Of course where there is food there is always a big brown dog!
Then it was time for a big fire.  And maybe a splash or two of used cooking oil on the fire.

Tomatoes are doing well.  Made 3 qts of fresh salsa yesterday morning.  Almost time to start the serious canning.  The sweet corn is pretty good too.  Last night I was roasting it in the husk on the hot coals to sample it.  It could have been the beer munchies too.



One last thing before I go.  Danielle if your still reading this blog I took this picture for you.  It was a sign in a thrift shop.  feel free to copy it to your files.


Later gator!

  3. Love the take on "Fast Food" - very good, very funny!

    You are amazing, Mr. Bushman, that's all I can say. I come here to get inspired. And, I'd offer to come down there to help with the gardening, canning and deck building, just to get the inside scoop and learn something useful! I'm such a hands on kinda person that when I see what you're up to I just want to get my shovel and start digging.

    Only problem is what to dig, where to dig, how long to dig and for what end purpose. Ah...this should be my worst problem, eh. :)

    I'm really, really working hard at keeping my teeny tiny flower garden blooming and...I'm succeeding - miracles of all miracles!! *grin* (my mother is my coach - she's a true gardener and always kept a beautiful flower and vegetable garden, so I'm trying to pick her brain while it's all still clear).

    My one attempt, this year, to grow lettuce failed miserably; but I'm going to blame the rain. My chives and parsley are good (that's all that I risked planting). Next year I'm going for broke and planting a "real" vegetable garden.

    On that note...any advise will be appreciated and well used!

    Have a great Sunday - and a wonderful start to the week.

    1. I have tomatoes. And green beans. Coupla peppers. And a lotta bugs.
      Good thing we have "Stop-N-Shop."

  4. That reminds me.
    I need to cut down some trees.
    Or pick tomatoes.
    Tomatoes sound like less work.
