For some reason when I click I can only put the thumbs up, but trying for 😲

I am not sure if we had a frost. It got down to 36 but rained sometime. I was lucky that I did not get things ruined with the plastic. The water settled around the edges. I had a few things kind of bent down but they stood back up. We are having nice weather now.

I think today might be the last of the really cold nights, but there is a frost warning this time. I went ahead and covered everything. I usually never plant tomatoes or peppers in May, but it was so warm and they are growing okay. Usually I am just now planting pole beans, but they are all up...

I hope they come back. DD had a peasant living close to her and she could here it. We had a few quail a month ago but they are gone now.

I used to live in Oklahoma and Kansas and a lot of the birds you mentioned do not live here and I sure miss them.

I want to test the soil pH of my garden and different areas of the yard. What is a good brand or type of tester to buy?

Finished my coffee and getting ready to go to a plant sale with DD. I have most of my garden planted. I have a lot of flowers to plant that I started from seed. We have had some really nice weather. My pole beans are coming up. I bought a bird bath and it has a solar sprinkler thing and the...

I had my coffee and ready to go out and do some weeding. I should be able to get a lot of things planted this week. We will have 60s and 70s for highs, but still 40s for lows. I think 40s for lows forever. I have been getting my exercise carrying plants in and out of the house. Half of what I...

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.
