My best friend died in January and her daughter who I have not seen since she was like 15 and is 40 something now with kids, texted DD that she wants to come to Idaho on a plane from Kansas with her 17-year-old daughter and her 7 year old daughter and SURPRISE ME. She told DD not to tell me...

I am on my second cup of coffee. I am moving plants back and forth on the patio. They are not hardened off yet. I pulled some weeds around the herbs. I am recovering from yesterday. I had a bucket of rabbit manure tea that I started last year before my hospital thing and I never use it and...

I always went in the house and still do when somebody is mowing without a bag. When I was a kid somebody got killed by a rock while sitting on their porch. I told the kids too to stay away and one day DH was mowing and DD was about 7 or 8 and I looked out and I saw it happen, a rock flew out of...

I am not going to go crazy like i did before. I bought every flavor of mint there was lol. I do not have a lot of room, but I want things I usually use like oregano, thyme and sometimes I use chives. Some things I just like the smell and to look at. I did plant curly leaf parsley last year and...

I had lemon basil too and dehydrated extra and it was really good. I had lemon balm, but I never used it and then a year or so ago I started some but never planted them. Something in the news my friend told me about drinking tea from it and how healthy, but I don't remember.

I still have oregano in a couple of places being taken over by grass, so I transplanted some to the new place last year and it looks good this year. I have some parsley that came back. It is called curly leaf. I have chives I am going to move. I will probably go to the Farmer's Market and see...

I planted 2 native plum trees and I could have a plum tree forest if I wanted. The plums only get the size of a walnut.

On my second cup of coffee. I went out and transplanted some thyme from and old herb garden to a new area. I turned over one of the blue barrels where I have been putting rabbit bedding and grass clippings and leaves and this barrel was not all the way full so I was able to tip it. I got some...

I am on my second cup. I was up at 4 WITHOUT COFFEE LOL I got up to check text messages from DD. She has had a really rough week. One at a time they are getting the stomach flu. The baby so far has not had it, just cold symptoms and her husband, but I do not see how they can escape it. I...

I had coffee and decided my tomatoes could not go back outside yet. I had to bring the tomatoes and peppers back in the house. No sun yet, so the tomatoes are sitting on the table. They are too big for the inside greenhouse now.. I have peppers and some smaller tomatoes in the inside...

I never knew there was a dwarf one. Very pretty!

Drinking coffee and wondering what to do today. We did not get the rain they said we would, but might this afternoon. I transplanted all my tomatoes yesterday into bigger pots and started some squash and cucumbers. I also started some hollyhocks, daisy, cone flowers and some Grandpa Ott seeds.

My mother's best friend had a magnolia tree in her back yard. I used to love to go in her backyard and see that tree. It was in Oklahoma.

Had my coffee and going to go out and transplant some tomatoes into bigger pots. It is going to rain tonight, so I put everything back in the greenhouse. It is going to be 85 but rain tonight and tomorrow. I have been looking for my bee balm to see if it is coming up and I want to transplant...

I barely had a cup of coffee this morning. My brother came over to help DS with the tiller. Only half the garden is tiled. I am going to try to take care of this and keep the weeds out and enjoy my small garden. It has not been tilled for about 5 or 6 years. DS and I have been turning it...

Having my coffee and checking weather reports. I think I am going to go ahead and plant some of my tomatoes into bigger pots. It is going to be 69 for the high today.

I had one cup of coffee. DD wanted to go to the Dollar store and to a thrift store, so I hurried up and got ready and helped watch kids while she took forever looking for clothes to try on. She needs need dresses and skirts for church and finding pretty neat stuff. I came home and took all my...

I am sure it is not the last frost yet, but things are looking up. I can see green on my rose bush. I thought maybe it died and the raspberries are still alive. Not as many as usual, but enough. Warm enough to take the plants out to the greenhouse today and the sun is shinning.

That is beautiful!!!!

DS was going to go get manure for me last weekend, but he is not feeling good, so I put that off and then it rained anyway. Planning to till towards the end of the month. It is 40 right now and going to be 29 tonight. There are no blossoms on the cherry bush. I have pictures of DH and DS...
