Pinging the list.
Oooo...I would LOVE to have a sunroom! :-)
Has anybody had any experience(s) with straw bale gardening? I have a book coming that explains it - probably going to try it this year in the spot (small space, poor dirt) that my mom has been using for a few tomato & pepper plants the last couple of years.
still too cold to plant anything here in the Colorado Rockies, but I need to try to get some indoor early starts. We get late frost through early June.

I am wore out from politickin’
Got blossoms all over last years tomato and pepper plants. My lemon has dozens of blossoms and I took it out on the deck along with my hibiscus and bouganvilla last week. The boug got frostbit, not sure which night but it’s back inside and recovering. Meanwhile that lemon tree has little lemons from pollination before I brought it in for the winter and now has a zillion more blooms with bees all over it. Gonna have to cull when I revive. Had some much needed rain the day before I left for Austin. Haven’t checked my rain barrels but they were low. Hopefully full again.
We got enough snow in the one day to totally cover my International Harvester Truck (and the tiller.) It is Friday the 18th and we are getting some semblance of normalcy after the Nor’easter that came in this past Sunday (I am in Waterville , Maine.) Our days will start getting above freezing so as to initiate the melt off and shrink the huge snowbanks around town which makes driving very stressful. i will look forward to the safety and tranquility of weeding this year...but it was a dry snow that fell but just a lot of it. For my house we got 2 feet on top of the 12-16 inches that were on the ground already...Anyway I do know that spring is just around the corner and all in all not a bad winter so far ...SNOWY but not too bad.
