YARD AND HOME PROJECTS
This is a catch-all page for various small projects I do and earlier
decided not to create this page, but changed my mind.
After the end of next month, I plan to let my web hosting platform
expire and more or less work off line since I do not use this website to
generate any income. When I started making turkey box calls around
2006, there was not a "ton"
of box call makers as of today. Also with the usage of CNC
machining, calls can now be produced and sold cheaper than I can
purchase some of the raw materials.
With that said, this no doubt will be the last page uploaded to
Portercalls.com.
TOMATO PATCH
I didn't take any pixs of tilling up the soil with my antiquated Troy
Bilt tiller adding wood shaving from my woodworking shop dust collection
system, crushed egg shells and of course a heavy application of 10-10-10
fertilizer.
The tomato plants are growing real well. I had a deer eat the
top out of one small plant, but it has put out again and can be seen in
the foreground left in the tomato patch. I planted (13) thirteen
one gallon size plants and the balance were much smaller. Most of
the plants were Celebrity, a few pink Brandywine, a couple grape aka
cherry tomato plants and a few more varieties.
TOMATOES COMING ALONG
About all of the plants have blooms and five or six have small
tomatoes on them.
My bride aka Joyce and myself are anxiously waiting for those tomatoes
aka "maters" to ripen
and have our first Club sandwich of the season
along with a BLT
and regular tomato and Duke's mayonnaise sandwich! There is nothing
as tasty as a good ole home grown tomato.
YARD SWING ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
I finally got around today (04-27-2024) to apply a coat of TWP
Redwood stain to our
hanging porch swing aka yard swing
circa. 2013, of which has held up extremely well in the elements.
I normally bring the swing inside my basement woodworking shop during
the winter months and let it fully dry out and acclimate to the basement
humidity. I wipe the swing down with mineral spirits and brush any
loose stain/paint. Several years ago, I applied a marine varnish
stain which wasn't that compatible with earlier finishes that I applied
to the swing, my bad!
This year, I used a foam brush to apply the stain instead of spraying
it on and it worked out extremely well.
