Thank you, the deck is pressure treated 2x6s. I have it pressure washed every year and then I put a stain on with pad on the end of an extension rod. It goes on very quickly. I need to do it soon.[emoji4]Just in case you think the shine you see is part of the deck, it isn't, that shine is wet from a day of rain.

It was some day but the food made everything OK. Thighs marinated in Frank's Hot Sauce. Plated. Moist chicken interior.

Tony, we are at the opposite ends of the spectrum. Maybe we could meet in the middle.

@ tekobo, I hope you enjoy this method of gardening as much as I do. You might get to eat out of yours this summer where I might not, the temp. today is a whopping high of 13C with rain. This is the worst summer I can remember. Yes, we are always at risk of frost until the middle of June but normally we have gorgeous days with nice temps. I even put a fire on in the living room this morning.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate your comments.

BonFire, that is my sunroom, and it has a small woodstove for the winter to keep things toasty. I use it all year long, great views, peaceful and as you said serene even during the blizzards. It has windows all way round and I can see my KKs from my chair.

This is going to be an interesting watch, Bruce.

That is going to be a fun cook, and the rice steamer looks beautiful.:) Good luck with the cook, not that you need it.

Soooooooooo peaceful looking. :)

Exactly what Bruce said.:)

Thought I might just as well add a couple of pixs from the rebuild of my square foot garden boxes.

This one is for you, Bruce. There is quite a strong onion flavour to these chives, more than you might think from such a delicate blossom, nice though.

What a Surprise I got this morning when I checked the camera pixs from over night. It reached up 7 feet and pulled down 2 of my bird feeders so I spent the first part of the morning repairing them. I will be taking down at night until bear season is over. !!!! While we are at it I had a tapas bar built for feeding the critters mainly for the winter so I can feed right from the deck. The menu is pretty sparse but they seem to like it. This bar closes about 10:00 to avoid feeding unwanted critters , like raccoons and bears.

Chanly, looks like a great cook and it sure sounds like it was a hit with your wife.

Thanks, Bruce, and yes those chive blossoms are edible. I have some garlic chives and they have a white blossom and are also edible. They bloom later in the season. As Tony says, they are really pretty.

Sous Vide some pork chops, marinated mushroom in balsamic vinegar,olive oil,oregano, basil and garlic cloves then grilled those on the KK.

I agree it is always fun to see what people from different locations are cooking.

Guess you are going to have to move that bed outside.

Aussie, I would certainly enjoy that dinner right about now.

Love the colour of your table.

I bet they did enjoy the thighs, everything looks sooooo delicioius. When my beans are ready I eat them everyday until I've had my fill. It takes about 2 weeks.

I will be watching for this cook.:)

I can't believe that turtle is after that cat.!!!

Welcome to the group, now if you want to stay in the group you do need to take and post lots of arrival photos.

Sure looks appealing and I'd do the same with the alterations.
