‘scenic route’, very cute! I like your sense of humor. Gardening humor, who would’ve thought there’d be such a thing!

I forgot to ping you to
#142. Wanted to show you that I have started! My little bean plants (and everything else) are growing so fast. I feel like a new mother watching her little ones going to school already!
I had a #10 can of garden seeds that was in the frig or freezer for 7 years. Since the can said they'd last 4 years, I wasn't sure if anything would grow. I finally moved to some acreage so I could try them out, but alas, don't have the strength or equipment to get a big plot going this year. I did what I could alone and have 4 small beds.
Well, almost everything has sprouted! Now, we are very overcrowded and I have sadly decimated my babies to give the others some room. I'm sure we are still overcrowded, but...they look so happy and healthy now. I've taken a few wee ones and planted them in the flower beds by the house, since I couldn't bear to just toss them in the grass. I water those my hand when it doesn't rain, so am regretting that since I have to use a water pitcher until hubby shows up and fixes another outside faucet.

Prayers for Johnny! I’ve seen him on prepper and cooking threads - he is one popular and knowledgeable Freeper. Tell him we need his expertise here as soon as he is able.

Hardens Hollow: " My little bean plants (and everything else) are growing so fast. I feel like a new mother watching her little ones going to school already!"
Great ! Glad to hear it !
Quick story - my first gardening expierience was sweet peppers. My wife stated she wanted to plant all of them even though germination rate was 92 %
We had 104 pepper plants , and that she wanted to name each one!
We supplied a restaurant in the city for sweet peppers for over two months ... two whole freaking months !
We couldn't get the kids to help out in the garden, until they found the eddible pod snow peas that we innoculated with nitrogen fixation nodules (self-fertilizing).
It seemed the more you picked the pods , the more they would continue to boom and bear more pods, the pods didn't even make it into the kitchen to be washed off.
The kids are now over thirty years old , but they all remember going up into the garden and helping weed ... and eat!.. even though they are now 2 continents away .
Glad to hear of your success !!
I know that it is hard to cull your seedlings ,.. just try to have another place for them. That's how gardens always seem to get larger in each successive year .
Congradulations !!
To: Marcella; greeneyes
Marcella:" This is why you havent heard from him on the gardening thread the past few days. He needs your prayers right now."
Prayers offerred up
I have yet to be disappointed by the Almighty, and I , as many others , know Johhny to be a true warrior !
To: Hardens Hollow
Hardens Hollow:" I did what I could alone and have 4 small beds."
Well done ,..and alone too , that's is quite an accomplishment !
If you can obtain some straw (provided they have no seeds), or leaves, you can use them as a mulch to cut down water irrigation needs, and cut down the weeding
and you should have fewer weeds this fall, and for next year's gardening in the same area .
To: Tilted Irish Kilt
Thanks! I have RSI so had to really go slow! But after uncovering some oregano and spring onions from last year, I was motivated!
And I hear ya on garden beds growing - I was just looking for a spot to transplant some tomato and romaine seedlings, LOL! I can’t just toss them aside! (but I haven’t named them yet)

Thank you, Marcella. You are a very great blessing to Johnny and to all of us. Please send my best to him and tell him that I pray for him every night.

Oh hello, lovely little beans! Thanks for the picture. Overnight, yes, that reminds me- Hubby told me a number of years ago that plants grow at night, not in the Sun.
He said they get the energy to grow from the sun, but the actual growth happens at night. I had not even thought about it. But they do just sprout up like magic overnight it seems.
