Bill's playing fair....Dom's the cheater with all those greenhouses at hand Jealousy rears it's ugly head 4 hours at Lowes today and I'm taking a week off. Fish, dig, plant, eat, sleep......etc Might even squeeze in a couple campfires with appropriate adult beverages. Oh yeah, and a Red Wings ball game with my son Wednesday evening. Baseball, Highland Lager, Zwiegles and peanuts.......you betcha! My seedlings have been getting used to the great outdoors the past few days. Yesterday they were out most of the day. Everybody is green and happy. Sent a soil sample off to be analyzed at Dairy One in Ithaca Ny. I looked into the DIY kits and even the expensive ones got terrible reviews as to their accuracy. So I figured for $12 and a little postage, I'd get a real look at my soil. I'll be mixing up some container soil this weekend and getting my flower boxes, towers and assorted pots filled. Gotta get My Brides flower gardens going. The veggie garden is waiting till the end of the week. I've started several varieties of peppers, cukes, pickles and eating tomatoes. We decided to buy our canning tomatoes this year. With my limited space and as cheap an a bushel of Romas are, I'd rather spend my efforts on something else. I'm putting in a really big Moon Flower trellis. 4'x 8' at least. I hope to have a dazzling display on the West side of my house. Should be fun anyway. These plants have really caught my interest.Spring is definitely here Rg
We picked 10 for a salad with dinner last night, and they're sweet and juicy! There's still plenty left to pick. It's been a fun (and rewarding) experiment!
