kitty sleeping deep, didn't even move the whole hour i watched vewwy carefully... Mom just asked me if i could find music for worms or something.

i'm surprised that more people don't do dill sprouts. there's so many zillion seeds they can produce when you grow them and the seeds are usually pretty easy to harvest.

interesting, i know they're working on it. reading can go quicker than writing as usual. as a backup, i'd like something etched in glass somehow. there's some archival methods that are more durable than magnetic tape or magnetic bits in a disk drive. i want something like that for once in a...

i was up some of the night due to some unplanned chocolate consumption that wired me good. :) with the storm today i had to get the trash out and no recycling needed to go out so that makes it much easier. one bag at the curb and i'm done. wind was pretty up and will be all day and half of...

yes to all of those! Mom doesn't like cabbage in any form other than coleslaw or saurkraut so not in soups or roasts, but i love it. there's also turnips and swedes (rutabagas) but Mom's not into those either (if i grow them i have to cook them on days when she's out :) ). Mom could live off...

there is only one "n" in there @Blue-Jay. :) Anazape

we do chuck roasts in the crock pot. other than the first fry to brown we don't do much else other than put onions and mushrooms in there and then at the end put some cream of mushroom soup in for gravy (we both like mushrooms a lot so it works as a quick gravy instead of dealing with the flour...

we have a winter storm warning (windy, cold and snow) for tomorrow into the next day so likely Mom won't be heading out. we're not setting the thermostat down tonight as low as usual because some weeks ago when the power went out overnight and we'd had set the furnace back we didn't like how...

this was my planting list for 2025 (i thought i had done this by now, but my records don't have it so ...) - Blaugraue - Conserva - Half Whites - Pale Yellow and White - Red and White - Small Black and White - Lavender - Lavender Outcrosses - Christmas - Gray...

glad to hear! :)

it's not that i think buying seeds from catalogues is bad or anything it is just not something i need to do at this point of my life. :) i have all the beans i can possibly grow, when i need more i can get them from places i already know or find more but it usually hasn't involved ordering...

made good progress on bean sorting this evening. :)

@Marie2020 don't be sad, i really don't mind winter that much, sure being cold isn't great but we do have heat and i know how to deal with being outside in the cold weather and all that. i lived much further north in much worse weather than what we get here and it is pretty mild in comparison.

thermal mass, below the frost line for an area the ground should be a fairly stable temperature. heatsinks, geothermal heat, heatpumps, insulation, underground houses, etc. i would do a lot of research before sinking a lot into it as ground water can be issues. also mold can be a problem for...

a bit of snow shovelling today. mainly because i didn't want the packed down snow from where Mom had driven on it to get turned into ice so i wanted to get that scraped off the top part of the driveway before it gets colder again. the wind and cold wasn't too bad and the exercise and fresh air...

LEDs are efficient enough now to make underground efforts workable, just have to be sure there is enough ventilation.

limes are also great for cooking certain dishes and of course there is key lime pie (which can also be made with regular ol' limes).

i always liked the coconut candies and still do. it always meant i had a lot of goodies around Valentines Day because others didn't care for them.

i like limes, lemons, oranges, grapefruit and things even more bitter so i doubt i'd dislike them.
