Mornin’ folks.
I’ve been so busy with spring that I don’t freep. I’m not sure when people do this thing called “spring cleaning” because I am so busy outside in spring that the house just falls to pieces. I can’t keep up. Got laundry stacked up, both clean and unfolded and dirty. Mud on floors from tracking in and out from yard. Dust from wind blowing in open windows. etc... but I love it.
Have almost all my food in the ground for the season. Got a few more seedling melons to set out this weekend. And I didn’t get any sweet potato slips yet as no one here has any in stock so have to order some.
Have had a “Plant Sale” sign in the yard and made cash from my greenhouse growing. Sold a couple hundred plants. My tomatoes, peppers and squash were all gone in one weekend but I’ve got more that are about ready to put out for sale again. LOTS of people who have never grown anything before stopping to buy. I get the chance to expound on my gardening knowledge on a regular basis trying to tell them everything they need to know in 15 minutes. And folks don’t realize that it’s a trial and error endeavor to garden. I have now earned the label “The Plant Lady” around this small town. I like it!
Posting now, but will still not be around much. So much to do. And my taters have bloomed and my onions are fixing to so about to begin some harvest! I know some of ya’ll haven’t even gotten to last frost date yet and that’s probably hard to fathom but it was 96 degrees here yesterday and I’ve got lots of work to do.
The Plant Lady, a fitting name for you.
Wonderful that the plants sold so well, a good sign of people eating.
You have been on my mind, as the Hoya Carnosa plant has its first flower, a pen pal sent it to me as cuttings 10 years ago and it had been in her family for 3 generations, I need to start some cuttings from it, but am now afraid that I will get one that intended to flower.
My sister still has not decided on when she is coming.
Don’t over do it and who cares if the laundry piles up, you don’t need many clothes in the summer...wear a wet towel and you will get more help in the garden.
Thinking of you, always makes me smile, be happy and have fun........
Yahooo!!!
Was getting worried about you.
Still have another week before we are past frost date...
They are calling for mid to low 30’s tonight.
Congratulations on the new title...
Any good news on property?
