Family and Fruits

Published by Robert Pogson September 28th, 2012 in horticulture. 2 Comments

I wanted to share with you some of the good things in life, family, pumpkins and beets. In spite of the worst drought I can remember since the 1960s, it has been a good year:

One of five wheel-barrow loads of beets harvested. These are “Detroit Red” variety. We have 50L of pickled beets, many kilos of frozen beet tops and three loads of roots in the bin…

We have 14 good-sized pumpkins harvested, a few pies made so far, and a grand daughter who innovates.

The pumpkins and I. These are “Big Max” variety and they weren’t coddled. I could have watered them three times a week and fertilized a bunch and pruned the bushes but I did not. Each plant gave 4 or 5 good-sized fruits despite marauding deer eating a few.

Nice hat, but is that the real Robert Pogson underneath it. And whatever became of those strange seed pods he found next to that small crater on his property? Que theremin music.

That is indeed the real Robert Pogson. Nice harvest, Dad. Can’t wait to carve!

My Mission

My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. I do not care whether my solution is the same as yours. I like to think for myself.

My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. I have been blessed by working in schools where students and school systems have benefited by good, modular software easily installed in most systems.

I have shown GNU/Linux to thousands of students and hundreds of teachers over the years and will continue in some way doing that until I die in spite of the opposition.
