Today is the first day I feel relatively 'back to normal...' whatever THAT is, LOL! I'm sleeping fine and am off the cold meds and additional vitamins/minerals, etc. Yay! After brunch I am going to walk around the Manse and see what's in bud, and I must get my Dahlia from seed started as well as pot up some el-cheap-o tubers I bought from Walmart. I'll report back, later. Have a Good Day, Everyone!

Glad you’re feeling mostly better. Things are wet and soggy around here with more rain coming. I think Monday will be our first dry day in half a week. Fingers crossed. I’d like to get the mulch down asap.

I’m over the moon at the moment at the success I’m having so far with seeds indoors. The plastic or Styrofoam egg cartons are proving to be very useful. My “cups runneth over” right now with green beans, radishes, tomatoes (3 varieties), multicolored bell peppers, cucumbers, and even parsnips. The only thing that didn’t germinate was the turnips, but I expected that because the seeds were so old. Bought a new packet, and hope to see something germinate soon.

Can’t believe that just a year or two ago, I didn’t consider myself to be capable of growing anything at all. Heh. :-)

Glad you’re feeling better.

It was another week of typical springtime weather here in Central Missouri. Warm, windy, cold, wet, frost last night, yada yada...

We got a few things done around the yard during the evenings last week. It rained all day Saturday so I elected to be a slug. Yesterday started off wet but conditions improved as the day went on. I elected to be a slug all day anyway. It did feel good to rest up a bit.

Greenhouse lettuce is starting to take off. Still waiting on the greenhouse spinach to get going. I noticed a few sprigs popping up when I watered in there yesterday but it doesn’t seem to be in a hurry.

The frost was light last night so hopefully it didn’t do much damage to the blossoms on my orchard trees.

The rhubarb plants I bought last weekend are very happy in the greenhouse after their repotting. No sign of transplant shock at all.

I had intentions of hitting the woods in search of morels over the weekend. Wandering around getting soaked to the skin isn’t my idea of a fun time so I skipped on that. I intend to check one of my early spots after I’m done in the salt mine today. Folks have been finding a few small greys over the past week so it’s time to get serious about looking.
