When I got to work this morning I had a place-card on my desk, it read, "Farmer Ted keeps bean seeds in his pocket, just in case he feels the urge to plant!". They all had a good laugh, I did too! I'm their go to guy about gardening and farming. They know that I know a little more than an average person, since I grew up on a farm, garden, and read a lot. Plus I can find the answers on this forum if I don't know them! Thanks to all of you that help me help out others!

Following the guidelines here, Greengardener! 1.) Seeds - Check! Yep! Got 'em 2.) Containers - Check! Ready to go! 3.) Tablet and pen - Check! Laptop is ready to go! 4.) Duct tape - Check! Got that too! Both white and siver! 5.) Sharp utility knife - Check! Sissors at hand! 6.) Permanent marker - Check! Sharpie is ready 7.) Soil/growing medium - Um, um, um...... Bag's open, all soft and fluffy! Rose of Sharon are seeds waiting for me to take my "Leap of Faith". They got wet last week and have been in the fridge ever since. They are begging for me to sow them... I need to shut them up today!! I have a 2# deli container filled with soil mix, some nice holes cut into the bottom edges. Soaked it down with the sprayer to check the drainage... One baby, two baby, three baby seeds, press 'em down a bit. Almost done... now get that container outside and then into the cold frame it goes.... NOT! Well, hells bells! What the heck?!? The dang door's frozen SHUT! I hear a quiet voice.... "Well Momma, why don't ya get the hair blower on that freakin' door and get us the heck out of this heat?" Well ya little sh%t... the hair dryer broken! One more word out of you and it's into the freezer ya go! and later that day.... "Hey Mom? When are we going to have that stuff in the freezer for dinner? I want to go to Corey's house for dinner that night!"

Last year I went out to plant my tulips. I thought I would change things up and put them in all new places. I went out with my shovel, thought about where I could put them and started digging. Every hole I dug, I found last years tulips. Yup, I couldn't come up with a new plan. I was trying my darndest to do something new, but couldn't.

Will the mattress still fit, or is that two inches longer, too? Better check before cutting. Do you have a circular saw? That will go much faster than a hack saw. I just spent weeks cleaning up my son's old bedroom to prepare for his visit with his girlfriend. That room had become a catchall. It's important not to exhaust yourself before the visit so you can enjoy your time with your sons. Good luck.
