Hi greeneyes and everyone!
Well, I finally got my round tuit to repot the Christmas cactus. I think its toes probably are feeling a LOT better now! While I was at it, I had two pots of parsley and brought one in. The other I placed in a larger pot. I’m experimenting to see if it will overweather this winter. Not betting on it, just want to see!
I inspected the pot in which I planted my walking onions. The sweet little idiots are sprouting! I’m guessing that they’ll do their thing and hopefully come back in the spring. I did not plant all of my starts, so if they don’t make it, I can try again in the spring. At least I know the starts I have are viable!
Gutters have been cleared of leaves, the turbine covers are on, and covers over the foundation vents are closed. I believe we are tucked in and [mostly] ready for the predicted cold weather in our region.
Looking forward to receiving my recipe book and TSquash seeds!
That reminded me I have the 20 inch squash from the T squash, in my fridge. I'm going to cut that up today and cook it in a skillet with some chopped up onion and a bit of butter. I don't know if the small one that started to grow will keep growing. The top part of the plant looks really bad like it's dying but the part where the new squash is, is nicely green.
It grew so well in that 13 inch barrel with the plastic tower in it, that I'll get one more barrel/tower so I'll have two plants in spring. I think I proved that T squash in a container is not going to be killed by insects and it will grow to at least ten feet long as that is what it did. It's going to produce a lot of very long squash by planting it in spring instead of when I planted it in July I think it was. I have to keep a record from now on of when I plant what, as I have so many seeds now I'll never remember every one of them and when I did what with them.
I really hope I can get a bunch of food growing and producing in spring. I think I have screwed up tomatoes enough to get it right for spring. Last year I bought tomato plants from Lowes and got tomatoes but I have to do it from seed myself and plant them right. I got the seeds to sprout but screwed up the planting of the young plants.
We had a gift of some global warming this past couple of days, but a cold front is on the way. I spent the weekend going through the storage cans looking for clothes for the great grandchildren.
Their house burned last week, and all the earthly possessions were lost. The kids all got out with no one hurt. So we truly had a lot to be thankful for.
I found a bunch for the baby, but I haven’t found all the larger toddler stuff yet. It is not where it is supposed to be.
It sounds like you are truly ready for winter.
