It made it to 45 today, but there was no sun. I moved some more of the manure to the boxes and I took all the dead branches out of the rosebushes. I saw that my chives I transplanted last year are growing and some walking onions that I had transplanted are growing. It was a little chilly, but...

DS put my metal boxes together and I carried them to the garden. I have 2 new ones for pole beans and one more that I am thinking of composting in. Probably plant a tomato at one end and compost in the other end. I am just not really sure how to compost anymore without the rabbits. I am...

Every time we dig or till we bring up huge rocks. I guess I could just get a shovel and turn all my dirt and get the garden turned and find rocks at the same time. LOL

I had my coffee and light breakfast of boiled eggs while watching gardening videos. I am trying to decide if I will order the big truckload of cow manure this year. DD and I might go together and split the cost. It is aged. DS is putting metal boxes together for me and next he will have to...

Me too. It looks easy to me, but then that is my young brain thinking. I am now wondering how many rocks DD and I will need and how far we have to haul the rocks. lol

I am still drinking coffee at the moment. It is raining a little outside. I think I will go start some coneflowers and hollyhocks seeds. DS and his wife found out they will be having a boy and his name will be Benjamin. He is due to arrive the first week of July. He might be a little...

I went out to the greenhouse outside and I think too warm with the door shut for the sweet peas. I have it open right now and I am going to leave it open all night. It was 30 something and now has warmed up to 48. That is outside temperature and not greenhouse temperature. The sweet peas shot...

I took the sweet peas, onions and cabbage outside to the plastic greenhouse. I think they will be okay. I have more seeds to start. I bought more potting soil today and I have seeds coming in the mail and I picked up some lupine seeds. I have a couple lupine that lived I started from seed a few...

I saved a bunch of cosmos from last year and marigold and I started some of the marigold and they sprouted and growing fine.

I have had coffee and breakfast. I just looked at my sweet pea seeds and I now have 11 up. A couple of them are going to have leaves open and I am readying that they should go outside in the greenhouse. I do not have a real greenhouse, but this is plastic over a frame with shelves. I read the...

My mother was born in 1915 and she made it to 89-1/2. Your dad did set a high goal and I hope you make it! I sure hope I break my mother's record. lol

No, but I wish I did! lol I did have a lot of cosmos last year. I am hoping some come back but I have seeds I will plant. I had the best luck with them just putting seeds in the ground.

I have had coffee and light breakfast. DD and kids coming by to drop off something for me for Valentine's Day. I actually forgot Valentine's Day and getting stuff for the grand kids because they have all been sick and I did not think they would come by, but DD told me yesterday that they would...

A little warmer this morning. It is 36 right now. I had my coffee. DS and wife have colds. He went to work and is over his, but she has a head cold. I am hiding from them. lol DD and her family I think have the flu. All 4 of her girls had fevers, but are better. They have had sore throats...

I had my coffee and way too much breakfast. I have been ordering seeds and trying to decide what to do. DD is starting flowers in milk jugs today. I am going to order 2 more metal bins to put where the poles are for the pole beans. I think they will do better and I will have less problems...
