The first two cutting boards I've made. (After failing on two smaller ones).
Top one is white oak, Brazilian cherry, bloodwood, and sapele. The bottom one is 20"x24" end grain hard maple.
Second photo: Some charcuterie boards, a tea tray, and some napkin/s&p shaker holders I've made.
I was gone all week for work, and I got home today pretty late @ about 7:30pm. I spent some time doing some gardening, wattering plants and such (my wife is pregnant and says she can't do any gardening because the bacteria can be dangerous) while she made dinner. My ghost pepper plant only put out one pepper this year, and I really needed it for the seeds, so I hung It up to dry a few weeks ago. It had finally turned fully red so I pulled it down and cut the seeds out of it. While I'm removing the seeds my wife says "oh good, I've been thinking we needed to use that. It looks ready.". I thought that she thought I was preparing it to put in the dinner (she was making asian stir fry and we both often eat very spicy food.) So I chopped up the pepper and tossed it into the pan. She freaked out, we removed as mich as we could. The dish was great. Definitely less spicy than other things we normally eat. But she was still mad. Next time, I will make sure it's absolutely clear.
Tldr: I made an assumption and threw a ghost pepper into the dish my wife was cooking, and now I'm sleeping on the couch.
I was gone for three days, and when I got back, my squash was covered in powdery mildew. Do I need to rip the plants out so it doesn't spread?
Wife asked me to buy her some waxed bread bags to store the bread she bakes. It sounded super easy to make myself. So I pulled out my 1954 Domestic, some cotton linen, and beeswax and got to work.
The wax makes the bags smell so good 😁
Has anyone ever seen petals grow from between the base of the leaves like this?
The last picture is after I pulled the petals out a little bit.
One of my mullberry trees started growing these giant bulbous mullberries. Anyone know what is going on? Do you think they will be safe to eat when ripe?
