Thanks for the thread Augie!

I have very little to report. Weather here is gorgeous. We’ve had some good rain.

My lettuce stump project seems to be going along well - two of the stumps I’ve planted have started generating some leaves! I;m planting bib lettuce that still has the root stump attached which I’ve obtained from the grocery store. I’ve found that it works better if a few leaf remnants are left on it.

The other news is that the parsley which overwintered and came back this year is going to seed! I suspect the butterfly caterpillars will be descending soon, so I hope the seeds will drop before then. However, it will not clabber the Milky Way if they don’t! LOL!

Darlin and I obtained some sprouts of some moonflower plants. We planted those several days ago and they are holding up.

Wisteria and jackmannies are blooming. Day lilies are getting ready to.

My hay bales are still waiting for some kind of planting, but just have not felt up to it. Oh well.

I’m wishing everyone well and hope your gardens are as rewarding as my tiny little microscopic patch!

I was at our little grocery store yesterday after I posted, and was surprised to see they had some okra sprouts. I bought a couple. One went into the hay bale, the other into a pot.

Experiment launched.

Now we’ll see.
