I mowed bc all of the dandelion stalks were staring at me! :eek: Gotta pack for my mini vacation, BUT, I staged my 9' x 11' camo tarp right next to where it's gonna live this summer, along with 8 bricks. I should add that many years ago, there was deconstruction close to my house and a pile a...

THX! :hugs I should add that middle DD still needs to put soil on top of her bed. She was reading about mixing in compost, but told me that she has a stash of leaves from last Fall. I suggested that she mix the leaves with the soil that she is buying instead. Sometimes we don't really...

never mind...there Were more on FB Messenger.

Middle DD also bought a raised bed pot, of sort, 4' x 8' x 2 1/2'. I gave her lumber and 5 grain bags full of used stall bedding. She added sticks and prunings and stuff that she and SIL had not yet burned. It needs to be topped off with soil, but she bought it to grow tomatoes and peppers...

If you do this eNOUGH times you will memorize some of the figures. Middle DD always thought herself horrible at math. When she worked at Berean Book Store, last HS, early college, the register figured out 1.07% of every purchase. So, if you Asked her how much tax, she could rattle it off, bc...

Middle DD, perpetually growing her Own green thumb, sent me this link. This guy is an EBayer, and YouTuber. This might not be Your style, but I am amazed at his efforts!

...more narcissism... Swept the LR and DR and foyer carpet. I used my kitchen floor/small nap Bissell shampooer with Urine control And Nature's Miracle, dog formula, to attack where Tegan had had diarrhea a month ago AND where either Tegan OR Sasha had peed. I am going on a small vacation with...

Wisconsin got baseball sized hail yesterday AND they have snow melt AND heavy rains. Some streets are under water, according to the video from WeatherNation.

I am trying to use my city water less and less since it costs me $. I mentioned on my thread that I empty the dehumidifier in the garage and put it to good use. If it's too far I can pour it into a plastic bucket and transport it on my riding mower to wherever. I also am trying to leave my...

Steady rain off and on last night. The open bedroom window witnessed this last night, as I tried to sleep a solid 8 hours. Funny, I keep using the water from the dehumidifier in the basement to water new transplants and anything else close to the garage. All 3 blueberry bushes got a Nice...

On the subject of tools, I had been researching/window shopping for files. I always hear about sharpening gardening tools, but I didn't know where to start. I found this nice set, good for a beginner, like me. DD said to sew a bag to keep them in. I found this one, that DH had gotten from...

I have done both spring planting and overwintering. Oats are one of my favorite plants.

I am a pirate/renegade. It's very Hard to stay out of trouble.

I have been fighting lost bolts on my tow wagon for years. I bought a package of 5/16" x 1" bolts (package of 17--WHO knows why THAT#?!?), a package each of many more both washers and nuts. So much for shopping at Menard's where you have to help yourself! I had an available plastic container...

Herbs on top of my fridge are doing nicely. Basil, sage, English Thyme, parsley, rosemary and some kind of spearmint/peppermint. I Love the blue ceramic pots I found in early March at Dollar general. I have a bigger one, no fixed plans for that one yet, and a smaller one that I planted chives...
