“Sick. Snowing. Going back to bed.”

You can’t get sick - I need you available to answer my gardening questions when I have them. :o) Take some powerful medicine.

Tomatos and peppers planted in the ground floor garden. We still have room to put the squash, and cukes , but that will be a bit later, since I haven’t started the seeds yet. I took some of that potting soil we like and ran about 3 qts through a 1/4” screen sifter to remove any bark or sticks from it to use as a seed starting mix. I hope to get those started later today.

The plants in the raised container garden are growing fast. I like having it at a comfortable height. If this is successful, I could get interested in expanding next year.

My wife planted 8 packs of zennia seeds in the flower garden way out back. This is where the Texas wildflowers will be, and the blackberries.

While out along the roadside in front of the house looking around at wildflowers, I found some white ones.... blackberry flowers, right across the street!

I have actually been in the shop doing a little bit today. Trying to get some things done before it rains. Will probably collapse from exhaustion soon, and be worthless the rest of the weekend. Oh well, Its better than getting 0 done all weekend.
