Thank you Marcella.

We love you, Johnny.

Johnny,
I will meet you on the other side, where we will all have glorified bodies and everyday is the Sabbath.

Marcella,
Thank you

[Reddy]

Thanks for the update. Glad he is in good hands and is not in any pain as he transitions into the hands of his loving Father. Continued prayers for JRF.

[Silentgypsy]

Prayers continuing....

[Jane Long]

Prayers for our FRiend, Johnny.

May the God of Peace and Comfort hold and surround him and his family.

Blessings to you, Marcella, for being a dear and steadfast friend.

Johnny...thank you for your service to this great nation....and, thank you for being a sweet and thoughtful FRiend.

[greeneyes]

Me too.

Many of us have to live through winter vicariously enjoying the posts of gardeners from the southern states. LOL

[greeneyes]

Thanks for the well wishes. Still feeling draggy, but as colds go it wasn’t bad - more just a scratchy throat. Today I have been sneezing like crazy though.

[greeneyes]

Looks like the upcoming storm is going to miss us. East and South of us. School has been out all week here even though the main roads are clear.

[greeneyes]

I never got around to putting in my winter crop except for the garlic, and it’s too bad, because weather has been pretty mild so far.

[greeneyes]

Looking good. Hoping to have another break in the weather to get some more outdoor work done, but though we are warming up tomorrow, nothing like it was last week.

[greeneyes]

You must be in a similar zone to ours. That’s about the same type of schedule here.

[greeneyes]

I am sure that is true. My lemons and tomatoes have spoiled me for sure when it comes to store bought produce.

[greeneyes]

I may not get to the seed starting till end of Feb or 1st of March. Lots going on here besides my hobby.

[greeneyes]

What zone are you in?

[greeneyes]

Well that’s lucky that you have had no flooding. Hubby had to go drain the pool from all the rain we had, so I told him to water the fruit trees, since they are so needy in that regard, and up until this week temps have been moderate.

[MtnClimber]

We have cold weather, but not much snow for about a week. Right now it is 24F so about average for this time of year here ay high elevation in the Colorado Rockies.

[sockmonkey]

How hot do you have to keep your greenhouse for pineapples? How long does it take the plant to “make a pineapple”?

[greeneyes]

That’s a good idea about the tub. Finding a place for growing stuff indoors can be problematic.

[greeneyes]

Impatience are so pretty, but they don’t like the cold/changing temps.
