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...

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. :)

snotsaruck!

i sneezed yesterday and today my back is PO'd at me. yes, i understand that cartoon, very well i do, yes indeedy i do...

i'd like a robot that could do that sort of thing for me including one that could go down into a groundhog burrow and harrass and evict the creature and then backfill it and compact the area and then replant it with things that discourage groundhogs from ever coming back... it's too hard on my...

as a gardener who lives in the middle of an agricultural area it depends a lot upon the methods you are going to use. most of the fields around us are rented out or farmed by others than the actual land owners. this means that most of them are managed as a topsoil nutrient strip mining...
