Congratulations! And a very Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to one and all. We have a great looking sunny day here in Missouri. I think it may get warm enough to slip on a sweater and harvest some lettuce from the outdoor garden.
I will be planting some indoor spinach, chives, and mint this week. Maybe harvest a lemon.
Now I have a question about rosemary. I brought in a nice plant, because hubby didn’t get the bed made where I intended to plant it(a sheltered location). It was nice and green, and has been turning brown. Is this normal? Does it get brown during the winter and turn green next spring?
Everyone have a great weekend. God Bless.
Thanks. I just got three seed catalogs in the mail the past two weeks. My wife saw several - other than seed - products she is interested in and wants to order.
Yes, there’s been hang time but it’s been like that for several months for me. I have to have two FR windows open.
My catalogs started arriving this week. I haven’t had much luck with ordering plants, rather than seeds, so this year I will stick with just ordering seeds and purchase any plants locally.
Pffft...I’ve seen jackalopes bigger than that.
And the same to everyone! I will be putting the roof on our new deck connecting the house to the garage/shop this weekend! See my facebook for pictures!
We are having very high wind here in the Colorado Rockies. It is making a mess with the 3 ft of snow that fell before Christmas. The highest gust measured near here was 102 mph. Lots of whiteout highway closures.
That WAS us about 0400 the morning of the New Year. We’ve slacked back a bit.
My neighbor and I are getting ready to till up the new area where we’re enlarging the pasture garden. We’re putting in compost and chicken and horse litter, we even have llama pellets that we’ll spread around and some of the hay the horses have spread around, plus turning over the garden that was put in last summer. I’m still waiting for the powers that be to release the lot next to the Sr Center for our beginning Community Garden. I need to get someone with a plow to root plow the area then just turn everything over.
Patience was never put in my cradle so I’m sitting here on pins and needles to get things started. In the meantime, I’m planning a stained glass table for the dining room. That takes up the unused energey from going nuts waiting for the start of the Community Garden.
Looking at 135 different kinds of tomato seeds right now...now I have to find a place to plant them. :-)
Needless to say; I have no business looking at paper catalogs as they arrive...the internet catalogs and forums have got me in enough trouble.
With the burn ban lifted, we've been clearing some brush. Haven't done anything in the garden but there's a couple broccoli making so might have some for dinner next week or so if we keep this sunshine.
I’ve never received a Jungs or a Burpees. I have received my Baker Creek a couple of weeks ago. I like their array of goodies.
Holy Smokes, that is the biggest rabbit I’ve ever seen. WOW!
LOL Gotta love that Ball Jar goblet! Is that fer real? That’s gotta be the best snooty redneck symbol yet!
That’s what I do too. Wife ordered some heirloom tomatoes a few years ago. Only two of the dozen made it, so she called and they sent another dozen. Same thing happened, but the two surviving were a different variety. The next year, after I had the garden filled, they sent two more orders of the same tomato plants.
It’s Russian......
I’d love to do stained glass for the dinning room windows that look out into the neighbor’s house. I’ve done some decent sized pieces but I don’t have the $ or the guts to go all out on such a large scale.
What type table frame and support do you have? What’s the pattern going to be? Pictures?
For some reason I haven’t received a Baker’s Creek in about 2 years.
