worm food! :) moi twooo!

the rains arrived a few minutes ago. i put on Christmas music. back to work...

making a little headway today on website project for a change. at least got one update to post correctly with all needed files and it looks like it should. it's a picture from last winter when we had a reflection from a mirror outside that almost lined up right on the basket and i managed to...

we've done a few weed sprays in the lawn many years ago but that wasn't really worth it and i don't personally care to have it weed free, instead i'd be much happier if the grasses were mostly gone and it was completely replaced by yarrows (the ferny kind), clovers, alfalfas, trefoils, thymes...

these rains will help soften things up for planting. it was getting pretty tough out there. everything i planned on doing yesterday got upended and the peas remain unplanted. :( i've also somehow injured a finger that now complains too often and so with these rains i will probably not try to...

just be glad it isn't full of quack grass, but yes, i'm in a similar situation and it's hard to keep areas clear once i've got them done. it takes a few dedicated years to get the quack grass out and if any is next door it is always wanting to come back in. a very deep and well sealed edge is...

i think the killdeer out front got blown away by the big storm we had last week. Mom said there were two eggs left in their nest, but i've not heard a peep out of them for days and usually i would hear them once in a while. perhaps two eggs got eaten by a snake and then the storm and they...

Tokyo bunching onions or green onions are pretty mild and very easy to grow. i have a few right now growing in the gravel pathway that i've not pulled out yet because i was going to eat them. they can be ready pretty much any time you want some. they bloom early (are blooming already for us)...

sprinkling today and 54F.

exactly! i managed two naps this morning and it's still early. big goals... i like this being a manager thing...

perhaps frost damage?

i like so many of them it is hard to pick just one, but the volcano and clouds one is my first pick.

with the rain we had the other night it was enough to help soften up the ground i was trying to dig the other day so that today i was able to get it kinda dug up a bit and cultivated so i can plant some peas at last next time i get outside. finally i will give peas a chance.

it was nice and sunny this morning but on the cold side. when i went out this afternoon i had shorts on, but i probably should have had long pants. however, once i got digging i was plenty warm enough.

it looks like a nice day is forecast so i hope to enjoy some of it outside. :)
