The Good Day All Thread

Sadly, there are no blooms here.
Good morning all. Currently just 2°c and overcast. We had rain, winds, sleet, hail, thunder and lightening yesterday. Today, weatherman calls for the same. I am off to do my errands and shopping, and then home to repot a few houseplants. Have a great day all

 

No blossoms here. Just more snow!

 

Oh my goodness the azalias are in full blaze of glory we rode to town and the streets are beautiful with them.

 

Good Friday morning all. Currently 1°C and snowing. Yes, snowing. Mother Nature is playing a cruel game with us. After 2 weeks of above average temperatures, we have snow falling and are expecting a low of -10°c overnight. Not sure if I should be putting pots over those plants that have already started growing in the garden? No plans yet today, it's the last day of March break so I'm sure my daughter will make us some! Have a great day all

 

Woke up early this AM and it was raining so I went back to bed up again at 9:30 and still raining so that pretty much stopps me from my planned yard work at least I made coffee the first time.

 

Up early today made coffee hauled trash to the curb emptied dish washer put in a new garbage bag picked up around the kitchen and had coffee. Just shook out my white boots and plan to wade out into the yard and pick plums before they become prunes just waiting for thefog to burn off i almost got lost coming back from the corner where i drug the trash can.

 

Good Saturday morning all. Currently -5°C and sunny. For some reason I decided to look into my mailbox and the end of our driveway this morning. Lo and behold, there was my heirloom vegetable seed order - mailman forgot to raise the flag and so my seeds sat out there all night in -7°C temperatures! I immediately tucked them under my coat into the warmth of my armpit ... gosh I sure hope they grow! It's still a little too early to plant tomatoes here, but I'm wondering if I should plant a few just to make sure they are still good? I don't want to find out they were frozen and damaged too late to order new ones. Some laundry and cleanup today, and hopefully a chance to get outside later for some raking. Have a great day all

 

Netty, your seeds should be just fine. If you want to test their viability, you can take a few, place them on a damp paper towel, and put the towel in a sealed plastic bag. They should germinate in the normal time for that seed, or a day or two longer.
We have high winds today so my seedlings are spending time in the barn. Since I can't do any yard work I'm indulging in some recreational cooking. Chicken vegetable soup is simmering on the stove, and I'm waiting for the toasted pecans to cool. A diabetic friend misses out on all the chocolate Easter treats, so I'm giving her spiced roasted pecans, which she can have. I'll tell her the Easter bunny climbed a pecan tree to get them for her!

 

I picked like 80 lbs of plums yesterday, and celebrated by drinking a few glasses of plum wine. By 9pm I was nodding off and at 3:30 this morning wide awake. Trying to figure if this is a good thing or not since aint nothing to do this early I am thinking not. Peggy is still sleeping and I can't do anything I don't want to wake her.

 

Good Sunday morning all. Currently -7°C and sunny. Happy Spring all! I have been enjoying these spring like days, but just noticed the long range weather forecast for my area calls for 15cm of snow on Thursday! I sure hope that doesn't happen! I'm going to continue my yard cleanup and hope for the best. Have a great day all

 

Morning all. Had to be at work at 6am, havent been here that early in ages! Weather is sunny but chill, at 34°. Brrr. My birthday is in 22 days xD

Got some cactus seedlings going. Never tried em before, so this is a fun little experiment Finally broke down and bought a heat mat lol Always wanted one, but could never bring myself to spend the money...

 

Good Tuesday morning all. Currently -4°C and overcast. I love how the days are getting longer! Spring is here, only winter will be making another appearance this week. Heading out today to get some more vegetables, meet with my boss for the coming season, and then home to bring in some firewood. I do hope this 'winter' storm doesn't last long ... I have gardening to do!
