Hehehe.....was checking out the list of retired hurricane names. Both my names are on there.
Morning OT - hmmm standing water, saturated conditions, hydric soil, could we have a wetland forming?
It will be nice to have some sun, ground was squishy at the park last night. Gypsygirl stayed mostly on the sidewalks.
We'll see what the day has in store for us once we return from Gypsy's constitutional. She is presently laying on the door, facing the door.
Morning Rose - congrats on the follow-up interview. We're all on your side.
4 Weeks more? Isn't there a way of factoring in hurricane to your field assessment sheets?
We're off. BBL
Yikes! Hope the Army Corps of Engineers aren't lurking about.
Well...I guess there would be if the hurricane didn't flatten the crop.
Or...show 'em you're really versatile. Show up as someone completely different.
Speaking of crops, I gots garden questions.
I'm going to be digging up the entire side garden to install the dry stream bed around the end of September. Can't get it done before then, but that should give me sufficient time before first frost.
I have some pampas grass that I planted in a pot this spring. It's about 12-18 inches high. Do I need to winter that inside? Or do you think I can put it in the ground? The pampas grass I planted last year didn't make it. The other grasses did.
HHmmmmm.....I don't have much "sperience" with pampas grass. From what I've found out on the web it's normally planted in the spring ("propagated by clump division in the spring.") The thing I'd worry about is whether it can get its roots established before th cold weather sets in.
heh, we don't have standing water... course, we don't have any flat spots...
hay beans I planted last Friday in the food plot are up nice... been runnin' the same four longbeards off'n it fer the last three days...
want to get the small plots in today... turnips, hay beans, wheat and rye...
~sip~
I'm checking out to see what I can plant now....probably turnips and lettuce and such. Might be too late fer collards.
I planted some grass for the cat a few days ago.
Yeah, that's what I'm wondering. I've got a couple other clumps I planted as established plants. They should be okay. 'Course I AM gonna move everything. It was $2.00 worth of seed, so losing it wouldn't be tragic.
I figure though if I move the rest of the stuff around the end of September, first of October and mulch really well I should be okay. I'm mostly movin' daylilies and iris anyway. And planting the 200-ish bulbs I ordered this week.
Check these out:

What do you think?
woohoo!! great news Rose...
I'm afraid that I can't help with fashion questions...
like to get some spinach, lettuce and peas in the garden... mebbe a few tunips..
Hmmmm......do those things work? I wouldn't mind having some hummingbird-friendly flowers around.
'Course last years the varmints dug up muh turnips.
Yay! I hope this is the one for ya, right off! That'd be awesome!
As for the outfit dilemna...I'd say Sys Admin guy wouldn't notice if you wore the same thing, but others might...
I hope my interview process is just one interview and hire! I've never been anywhere where they did a second interview...what do those generally involve? Just introducing you to more of the company?
Morning G'nad. Concur on the lack of flat spots. "It's not the hills are high, it's the valleys what are low" is the way it was described to me.
Sounds like a good crop for the plots, the critters will enjoy them. Hmmm. Longbeards. Seeing more of them this year than I usually do.
Sunny day and too soggy for yard work means some quality time with rasp on wood. The rear deck seems the best place to undertake this. The snakey blank is commencing to resemble a bow.
"Retired both my names" They retired "over" and "taxed"? amazing. :-)
RuhRoh. That would be VEY bad!
