GOT PHOTO UPLOADED, see below...

...and if you don't see it on here the first time, try, try again.

This small success IN NO WAY changes my feeling about computers, however.

The brassicas are in/The computer is my enemy...

OK, so here we go with changing colo(u)rs again...just trying to brighten things up a bit (as we are getting into autumn)--esp given the second half of my title this time around.

The end of this month has seen the exit of our two semi-resident Angelinos, right after they helped create--actually, they did over 3/4 of the work, so why not give them credit?--the autumn/winter veggie bed.  We are going to have some wonderful broccoli and kale this winter, thanks to Noel and AngeliTa, yes that's 't' not an 'n', no matter what Mr. Brad Pitt would have you think.

These two are the second couple of Wwoofers that have made their way to our newly 'founded' homestead, where we now have quite the gardening space.  They also helped finish off the perfect gate that all the work and deer fencing that Sandy and Danny led us to...

So here it is, with the field being readied for its new crop:

AngeliTa and Noel--hard at it, and still smiling!

and, so much for the colour (as photos go), can't upload AGAIN! ($&(@^(&$()@!!!)

and, so for the second part of this posting.  I am downright troubled by technology.  I honestly don't know how to make this funny.  The computer and I really don't communicate, in any effective way anyhow.  BUT, it isn't just me.  The guy at Radio Shack could not figure out why I couldn't open up my Yahoo email account on my new "Android"anymore.  The guy at the other copy/biz centre had to take several steps including two calls to Brent to finish uploading my new Windows software  that he had not been able to finish the other day (WARNING: Do not start something that you cannot finish, ESPECIALLY if it's on the computer!).  We had to wait 30 more minutes for it to load, AND THEN go thru 28 additions (so-called 'updates') which took even longer.

and, so, if you'd join me in a moment of furor in raging against the machine.

and, yes, I will try to upload a picture of the new garden addition, but there may be a few days of growing involved before I can put that up.

and yes, the computer is my enemy...Help me Julia!!!

The (first) garden is in!

The first pole of the deer fence goes in thanks to Dan!

Awhile in the coming, but yes, the "diamond in the rough" is planted out...thanks to my first two great Wwoofers, Sandy and Dan!  The plants are growing big (well, actually pretty small right now considering the late start...) and happy.

ah, yes, my first deer fence!

For the final touch, I've yet to put a gated entry through our deer fence (Dan helped me create this on his final day that we could work together.), but the first garden is now officially going and growing.  I actually found the perfect sprinkler and have run it for its first two sessions, and it worked wonders.  Still have to handwater the corners, but that is easy.


I will AGAIN try to upload some pictures on my personal computer, but have really struggled with making this happen and just want to keep the story going.  


When I have truly figured this out, you'll have to go back and take a look at previous entries for which I am presently photo-less, because you know what they say about pictures telling stories...
