Good bye.... Just wanted to say a proper goodbye to the weirdest January in memory. Strange weather. Tomorrow of course is February Fool's Day,...
I'm just curious what the Groundhog will have to say about this weather. 6 MORE weeks of winter a possibility? Heck, we ain't had any winter yet...
cactus flowers Those are nice. I like them whenever they bloom. :-D
Another plant I don't need is bermuda grass. I had a nice garden spot here that I had improved from it's original clay "sub-division soil" to a...
spring Yesterday I saw the first daffodil bud starting to grow down amongst the leaf blades. I think that means I'll have blooms in a couple...
veggie starts Most growers use florescent lights and hang them from chains so they can take up a link or two as needed to keep the light 2 inches...
heirlooms Just a reminder that open-pollinated plants, be they heirlooms or just old-fashioned will still need to be either grown in isolation or...
I know what you mean. This house is built on a slope, poorly built I should say. Every 2 inch rain makes me wonder where the wet/dry vac and hose...

yesterday Sounds like a lousy day. I'm glad today was better. Today was/is rainy here for us, tomorrow is gonna get better, I hope. :)
tips Thanks for the tips Weeds, you're kinda preachin' to the choir tho. I did try those peat pots about 20 years ago, once was enough for me....
roots I agree, don't bury the roots while they are fresh. Let them dry completely and they'll rot on down.
sister So sad to hear of your sister's passing. I hope she had a full life.
spring Well, they have revised the zone map. Funny tho I have been in 6b for 20+ yrs, before that zone 7, now with global warming I'm in 7a, go...
Good rainy day Supposed to be 80% chance of rain today. I think I'll just stay in probably, no real reason to get out in it. 60 degrees so it...
2 things Congratulations, grandma. :-D That's a nice mosaic too. Gives me some ideas.....
pots I grew some bush cukes last year in one end of an 18 gal tote. 3 vines, should have been one I guess. I had a tomato plant in the other end....
