    Re-Post Good Garden Bugs GF Radio #303

    1811 August 20. (Jefferson to Charles Willson Peale). "I have often thought that if heaven had given me choice of my position & calling, it should have been on a rich spot of earth, well watered, and near a good market for the productions of the garden. "no occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth, & no culture comparable to that of the garden. such a variety of subjects, some one always coming to perfection, the failure of one thing repaired by the success of another, & instead of one harvest a continued one thro’ the year. under a total want of demand except for our family table I am still devoted to the garden. but tho’ an old man, I am but a young gardener."[10]

    Regarding evernote & twitter. Just as we recorded this piece, twitter stopped support for RSS feeds, so the If This, Then That (ifttt.com) recipe no longer works. A good work around, though, is to follow @myEN (see https://twitter.com/myen for directions ) and you can send tweets to your Evernote account from twitter.

    BTW: iftt.com is free and has recipes to automate a whole lot of different processes with about 30 different social networking, feed readers,and on-line tools.

      Hammer drill. wait till on sale and then combine with 20% off coupon from Harbor Freight - I got mine for ? 45.00. Only needed once but seemed to work well and was cheaper than local rental sites. I can't compare quality but assume lower the than Big Brands like Bosch - but for occasional use seemed fine. Came with 3 bits to boot. drilled through 8" concrete wall for weep hole drainage. Done in about 3 minutes.

      AH! I'll have to keep an eye out. A lot of beekeepers who do structural cut-outs use the HF reciprocating saw because they are so cheap and because of all the honey that gets into the works. I should have thought of that! Thanks, Jim.
