It’s good to know you’re seeing a little green leaf. The rest will pop up shortly. We were talking to an organic gardener in Lowes. She told us to plant a corn seed and then plant 4 climbing beans around it and whatever attacks the corn will be confused and whatever attacks the beans will be confused and won’t attack either. WELLLLL, we planted the corn and the beans around it.......the beans are up and growing and a couple of the corn seeds have sprouted, but the poor things are way smaller than the beans. She should have told us how slow corn is to sprout. It is fun being a “farmer”, there is a lot to know. I’ll be planting my salad garden tomorrow, I have all sorts of lettuces and when we go to Waco, I’ll get some more seeds of different colors. I’ll be planting the colorful and plain swiss chard too. Hopefully more of your beautiful plants will be popping up soon. OH, how hungry are the rabbits at this time?
Good morning. Electricity has been off throughout town for about 18 hours now. I’m at the school which has a generator. I won’t be here for too long. I have a funeral to attend today. It will be an all day thing. Hopefully when I finish, the power will be back on.
The green leaves, yes, they are encouraging. This past Monday I had my gardener chop off all the bushes on the outside of the fence. They had just grown too tall, plus, the custom here is to leave leaves on the top but cut back to the stems of the lower branches. You end up with tufts of green and sticks. Anyway, now I have sticks. But just this morning I saw some little green leaves poking their way out of some of the sticks. I will stay on the back of this gardener and nag him NOT TO CUT OFF THE LOWER LEAVES!!!! Next week, back to Introduction to Composting. It is a mind-set which hasn’t been developed.
