What mystic supernatural forces of the 13th dimension are conjured upon to be able to create the smileys not listed above? Ghosts and spirits have not got the power...

I'm turning into a mulching FOOL, Detlor. Rather do THAT than weed, ANY day.
Yesteryday I did the following:
1) Transplanted 17 volunteer tomato plants to the street fence. They were all 12" to 18" tall, had shallow roots and were growing in the Turkey enclosure with 12" to 18" weeds. Some have flowers about to open. I THINK they are all cherries.

2) Put gift Hydrangea into 2' hole in the SE corner (bed) around the house.

3) Transplanted 2 Serrano Peppers that I'd kept going inside all winter. There are SEVERAL peppers on both of them. 2 fell off, so I put them into the ground by one of the peppers--Might sprout...ya never know. ALso, mulched the bed next door with 5 bags from mowing. I'll top this off this weekend with dirt I tilled from my 2011 chicken enclosure.

4) Put beefsteak and Roma tomato seedlings into their beds.
5) Transplanted 7 geraniums to the front walk, along with my Amaryllis. Midwest Gardener had Amaryllis questions last week, and a viewer said that she transplants HER Amaryllis to a bed after flowering to let it gather strength in the garden. She lets it "frost" twice, then pulls it out, and lets it dry out and rest for 6 weeks. I'll try the same. I had 4 seed pods, which I stuck in the ground to see it anything happens to them.

6) Protected the 3 Ancho Problano peppers from yesterday's wind.

7) Mowed the "street visible" part of the 1 acre/5 acres
8) Took one of my DH's Vicadin's before bed

You fool D4U, the Dandelions will stop at nothing to gain world domination. You really believe a little mulch is going to stop them? It will get in their way, but they'll destroy it. Don't you see? Pandora's box is open. The Dandelions will spare nobody. Not even the children. All is lost. The world is going to end. Would you like a muffin?

 

[ducks4you]

I DON'T care...bc I'm not allergic to dandylions, hardy, har, har!!!
I also feed them to my chickens.














So you have any with blueberries? :/

 

[Detlor Poultry]

You mean mulch types? You can use neutral (like straw) or Acidic (like Red Pine needles) mulch types.

 

[ducks4you]

I'm NOT paying for mulch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT money goes for movies...wine...chocolate...YOU know, the important stuff.

 

[Detlor Poultry]

Are you trying to out-eccentric me?

We are getting off topic. I have a thread for that.

 

[ducks4you]

Yep. YOU'RE pretty sharp!!
