Good Morning Sven! Looks like our weather yesterday. We had a good three or four hours of rain as well.
 
Happy Taco Tuesday Tim!. Where are you buying Kimchi? I haven't had good Kimchi in probably thirty years.
Not sure where my wife and daughter got it. It's a jar. We have a Lee Lee's Asian Market nearby but they likely just got it at Walmart.
 
Pumpy is done growing . It wont get any bigger. Surface skin is cracking from growing to fast and not getting enough water from the
20g's of soil which did good for normal pumpkins.
I started it to soon. It was done in 90 days. I will leave it on the vine but may have to harvest it if the center split get bigger.

I'd have never thought of Walmart for Kimchi, or even the idea of bottled Kimchi. Brilliant. I'll have to pick one up next order and give it a try, thanks.

I think it's the Lucky Seoul brand.
 
Well the dishwasher is running its paces but now I got a sink strainer leak. Good think I know a thing or two about plumbing....aka journeyman level at least .
Dang, home ownership is fun!
