Good morning gardeners. I hope things are going well for all the gardeners. My seedling trays are over flowing with growth. I have heirloom tomatoes, Marion and Arkansas Travelers ready for repotting. Paste tomatoes and squash were repotted a few days ago. I Also have a few types of flowers also doing well. I will plant some hot peppers in my garden also. Hot peppers have always done well for me. Sweet Bell peppers I have always had problems growing but will try them once again.

Well that’s the most depressing thing I have heard in a while. Today was a brutal day in the Bender’s garden starting at 10AM and continuing until 3PM by myself as Mrs Bender was at Bible Study and then a planning session for the Memorial Service for a long time member tomorrow afternoon...
If you feel obliged to work such long hours in your garden all by yourself (ever heard of ‘when the cat’s awy...?’) you can come back here and work in mine! (nobody else is)
Cold and rainy again today.
2 more days of radiation — 3 more dr. appointments. Things are looking good so far. Hooray!
I’ve been meaning to ask — have you ever used one of the revolving compost makers? I’m trying to NOT buy one, but they sound so tempting. The one I’m looking at promises usable compost in 2 weeks. It’s a big revolving barrel on a stand called the CompostTumbler. It’s pricey, but I find that I am not strong enough to turn my compost in the bin I have. ANybody have any experience with this tool? https://www.compostumbler.com/StoreFront/home
Many people use that type or style of composter, I have not tried one.
Do you mind if bring my own red wine?
It may just be what you need but I would fill it in one day. I would guess most of them are abandoned in 2 years
Got Shrooms? These are Boletes Edulus that grow across the steet from our driveway ..
The west coast shroom collectors guide is David Arora's Mushrooms Demystified
Thanks.
That is reassuring.
Do you have lights on your seedlings, or just daylight?
The lights I used last year are being used as a “temporary” fix in the laundry room.
;-)
Daylight only.
Wow, that’s impressive.
Well done!
Those look good, TB.
I need to research the best book for wild mushrooms native to north-eastern North America.
I know!
I’ll get a “Round-Tuit” !!!
Hey Aftr, those big bunnies should be having little bunnies soon.
You could make them a pen, and raise some!
How is Mr. Aftr?
And your Mom?
Psssstttt. She is suffering the Jimmy Carter syndrome of Giant KIller Rabbits stalking his chillin... or was that H. Ross Perot?
Thanks fanfan, we’ll see how well all these in-house and in-garage plants/shrubs/trees will transplant.
