Raining again and I cant get out to do any gardening.

18 years ago

The rain is great though as it was getting very dry again we got 23:5mm yesterday afternoon

And a bit more today it has freshened the garden up a lot but I have time on my hands

So I went through the thousands of Pics I have taken this Spring and did some collages.

Of all the flowers that have been growing in the garden. I do hope you enjoy them...Cheers..MM.

Where's the red and blue? Sorry, just joking! They're lovely MM. I love the idea of the colour groupings.
Cheers,
Dee.

excellent stuff mistymorn.

the rain hasn't stopped me - I was out getting wet and dirty about 7am today planting some more basil seedlings, lettuce seedlings and a small thyme hedge. the rain is cool but the soil is so easy to dig it's just a matter of poking a finger in and then popping the seedlings in.

and you can see everything "smiling" with the rain - no matter how much you pour out of a tap nothing is quite as good as the real stuff from the sky

FOAS, "-----Since when does lack of interest keep you from posting about something? Specifically, I'm thinking about sous vide.---" Well this is not the only forum where I share ideas. I share ideas for many reasons. General ideas, if no interest here, I try not to post too many. OTOH, food/cooking ideas I share anyway because: There are many members who lurk, and who have health issues and financial issues, and many of my posts address those issues. For instance, in the Beef Tendon post all the ingredients are for healing join/arthritis conditions. Black garlic has much to do about health and anti-cancer. For dieters, most of my cooking involves no cream, butter, fat, etc. Sous vide? if I can have the same enjoyment cooking $2.00 a lb cut of lamb, why should I pay $50.00 a lb for a rack of lamb? (if you take away the fat and the bones, that is about $50. a lb). Same thing with beef and pork, the cheapest cut of meat has the most flavor if cooked right. I will dig up my NWM pictures and post in a new thread later. It is off-topic here. Let me get back on topic, Teresa_nc7, for you. A baker's stall in a farmer's market near me. dcarch

I usually start my paint choosing by picking up a bunch of paint chips (big chips--not those itty bitty things) and taping them to the wall. I then eliminate the ones I definitely don't like. Then I come back and do the same thing in different light--morning, midday, under artificial light--eliminating a few chips each time. When I've covered the time-of-day bases, I move the chips to another wall and repeat. Usually I can narrow the choices down to just a few, and only then move on to actual paint samples. For my bedroom, I thought I wanted a blue-gray. Went through a lot of chips and ended up not liking any of them. Switched over to gray greens, and that is what I eventually ended up with. I ended up very happy with the color.

Have you made any plans for when you can get out and about again?

Nope. My life hasn't changed much. I value my personal space anyway so I try to keep my distance from people naturally. And we dont go many places in normal life. We like being home with each other. I do need my roots done and my ends cut, but I keep my hair long anyway so having it longer than normal isnt an annoyance to me. I am looking forward to people being less on edge and less rude in general when the restrictions are lifted. And I am looking forward to being able to buy stuff I need when I need it,not when the hoarders run out of money.

Thanks Dee I put more on for you. Blues and Reds Hope you like them.

Paradisi I like working in the rain too, but I wanted to prune my weeping bougainvillea's
And thats a ladder job so I wont do it in the rain, you are so right though everything grows
so much better after a good shower, beats tap water everytime.

Thanks GH yes flowers are so beautiful so many different colours and shades.

Hi Ya Tina so glad you like this OL's flowers you are right there are so many varieties around
And I cannot grow a lot of the cold climate ones otherwise I would have many more.
Cheers..MM.
