Why some thrive and some die will always be a mystery!

They think they are people?

I get that sort of variation a lot. Two of the same plants, same size, same soil, same size pots, same lighting and watering, one thrives, one does poorly or even, sometimes, dies. :-(

Since there is no rest for the wicked, here’s my chore list for the rest of the weekend:

Outside:

Prune Forsythia away from A/C unit

Fill gallon jugs from rain barrel

Weeding

Selective Round-up on one tough area (not near food)

Water Greenhouse (am & pm)

Move tomatoes outside for some breeze action

Water Houseplants

Hook up garden hoses

Put down some mulch

Inside:

Clean the coffee pot

Make Celery and Cream Cheese Snacks

Water Houseplants

Make Jam Muffins and/or Zucchini Bread

The new lighting in the kitchen and pantry/laundry is DA BOMB! One fixture isn’t working right (flickering - driving me NUTS) so that will be replaced ASAP. Mick left a while ago to head back to Appleton. He was such a huge help to us both this weekend. I need more Minions around here!

Walked the puppy this morning, but he wasn’t really into it. All of the dogs are being quiet and lazing in the sun today, so that’s A Good Thing. It’s a really BEAUTIFUL day out there, so I am taking advantage of it.
