LOL! Greeneyes, I can identify with all particulars of your opening post!
We woke up to a gorgeous snowfall. With a temp of about 35, it was not destined to last, but instead was a lovely kind of rain! It could be a bit slick tonight, so I hope drivers are careful!
The sprouty grocery store onion is amazing! I’m amazed at how many shoots are coming from it. [It’s the one that suffered a near death experience from missed watering also!] I went outside to check on the walking onions, and the cold seemed to knock them back, but the one that had already made an appearance seems to be holding its own with little traces of green.
Still have not sprouted any seeds yet. Darlin and I are still in the throes of fighting off the Krud and are both in the “gorp” stage. Glad that tissues are still relatively inexpensive.
We bought some seeds at our health food store, and one of my seed orders came in. It’s so much fun! One of my sorghum selections was substituted with a dwarf pomegranate seed “suitable for a container.” How intriguing! Never in a million years would I have thought to order that, but now, it may be the first one I try planting!
In my order I have some different varieties of okra than the one I grew last year with such (to me!) amazing success! I’m eager to see how they might do.
I won’t bore everyone here with a full list, but I am looking forward to having the energy again to start fighting entropy and get my gardening tools organized and set up a trellis for the trombone squashies!
Hope you and Darlin’ feel better soon!
I am still hacking and coughing up clear phlegm. yuck. Taking some expectorant that I keep on hand, and drinking plenty of fluids. Much better, but not 100%. At least I got the dishes caught up.
Tommorrow I’ll be washing rugs and mopping the kitchen, and if I have any energy left, cleaning out the refrigerator. Youngest daughter has joined a co-op, and she gives me the produce that she doesn’t want or if she has too much to use.
Last week she got so many carrots, that I filled up a huge space in the frig. Now I need to either process to freeze, can, or dehydrate. A couple of nights ago I made an apple pie, and still had about 9 apples left.
She gave me some really great bell peppers. All different colors. I love stir fried peppers, onions, and carrots so I’ve been in hog heaven for those.LOL
