I am having my coffee on a rainy morning. I have onions and cabbage in that I started from seed. I have carrots, radish, some different kinds of greens, beets, lettuce seeds planted. I bought trellis and things for the climbing plants. I transplanted a few sweet pea flowers that I started and...

I took my rhubarb starts off of a giant rhubarb across the alley. The woman told me to hurry up and get it because she was going to rent the house out. I am not sure how old that rhubarb was, but that was about 2010 and I have lots of rhubarb. People have moved in and out of that house over the...

I have been busy this morning. I had 2 cups of coffee and I have been gathering sticks up for the boxes to make it like square foot gardening and yesterday I had most of the boxes done, but could barely walk from all that bending. DD decided she needed sticks and I said well bring kids and they...

I am drinking my coffee and trying to think straight after waking up around 2 a..m. and could not go back to sleep because I was trying to figure out where to plant everything. lol I think it will take 2 cups this morning. Lots of sun and a little bit of wind. I can plant a few things. I...

I hope everybody had a nice Easter. It was in the 60s so the kids got to play outside and swing. There are 3 swings and now my brother is talking about making a bigger one because Evelyn and Izzy are swinging so high. He took the baby swing seat off and put a regular seat on for Wes who is 3...

I think part of my yard is yarrow. Years ago DD bought a white yarrow plant and planted it in the herb garden I had in the front and I think it has spread all over. I took pictures of it last year and I am pretty sure it is yarrow. The whole yard needs to be dug up and reseeded. Now we have...

I never heard that before, but DD is only growing it for flowers and not for internal use.

The cabbage has now been outside for the night on the patio a couple of nights and in the sun. They are doing really well. The yarrow is still inside in the kitchen greenhouse. I have to read ore about yarrow.

I have had my coffee and breakfast and the sun is shinning, but it is only 38 degrees. I am geting that exercise I said I wanted of taking plants in and out, but now I am running out of room. I left the marigolds out in the outside greenhouse and they did get frost bite. I am not sure how many I...

Another sunny day. It did get cool last night and we had to start another fire. We had about 2 nights without having to have a fire in the woodstove. It is 46 right now and could get to 55, but down to 29 tonight.

I wish they would be invasive here. lol They have popped up in strange places, but if I find them I dig them up and move them and sometimes they live. If I left them in the middle of the yard they would get mowed down. I threw so many seeds around last fall that they might look invasive this...

I bought seeds years ago and started them inside and for several years they were reseeding pretty good, but they kind of started getting thinned out and I let DD dig some up one year and she ended up with more than me, so last year I started more and got them in the ground pretty early, so I am...

I had my coffee and breakfast and the sun is shinning. It is 51 right now. I ordered a soil thermometer yesterday and it will get here tomorrow. I have a tray with cabbage that I started inside and I had taken them outside to the outside greenhouse awhile back and then it got colder so I...

I had my coffee and reading all kinds of gardening news. I am so confused with weather and normally I would not worry about planting things in April because my ground would never be ready, but I have the boxes filled and most of them are ready. I looked at when to plant by soil temperature and...

I am glad you are doing well, but I can imagine your best friend is the recliner. Having a good son is such a blessing.
