A beautiful day in the neighborhood (garden!)
Comments (5)Thats my plan, to can, freeze and dehydrate all my produce. But i do have neighbors that are willing to buy some of my stuff, becuase they either dont have the room or just no time...so what I dont use i guess ill sell to them and buy next years seeds, plants and other garden related items. But thatrs only what wont be put up. Just came from the garden today and some of my okra is about 6" tall and looking good same with the celery, took awhile to germinate but it is doing great as well. Ill be putting in my garlic and shallots today as well, hopefully i have better luck with it then last year. I planted sweet peppers out in the garden today and put my hot peppers in containers. Did 2 garden tours today, people dont look at me as im nuts anymore but now they admire my work in the garden. Its nice to see that they understand why most of my yard is garden now, but it took rising food prices and gas prices to understand. Well i better get back out ther and get more done before the rain hits. Have a great day in the garden everyone....See Moreit's a beautiful day in the neighborhood!
Comments (6)It's the neighbors that are crazy, not us. That's what I keep telling myself. FTM, you must be psychic. I have a green watering can. :D I bet your gecko has a southern twang, 'Poo, and not a refined British accent. LOL I'd love to have one of those, too! I brushed past my California buckeye the other day, not realizing that I was on taxi duty. Upon entering the house, I heard this loud fluttering going on right behind me. When I turned to look over my shoulder, I came face to face with a dragonfly, attached to the back of my shirt. Ok, he's not going anywhere. I guess I have to remove my shirt to transplant him back outside. Being easily distracted, I very nearly walked outside in my altogethers to set the creature free. I'm just glad I live in a rural community. Brenda...See MoreBeautiful day in the Neighborhood
Comments (2)You'll want to spread out the datura. It spread about 2' for me. Same for the malva although mine had only a 1' spread. Those plants look really great....See Morea Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.....
Comments (6)I just got back. I had to get on the horse from the back of the pick up truck. LOL! A short ride, but I'll probably still be sore tomorrow. Several of my friends are afraid to ride since they have gotten up in years. I have a friend who is a pretty big gal and her horse spooked and tossed her on her fannie. She still has horses, but She said She will never ride again. It was a perfect day. Now, I'm looking forward to making Turkey Tetrazzi tonight. I sent Main Man to the store for some ingredients.
