a few weeks yet before i'll be planting much in the way of beans. with all these cold near freezing nights we're having i've not even put peas in yet.

too bad there's not a stick i can throw that will fetch them...

yes, centre is the "uk" spelling of center.

knee pads are useful. i haul a ground pillow around with me when i'm weeding so i have something to sit on or kneel on when needed. saves the knees a lot of grief for sure - it also saves my back and knees if i'm doing some close up work weeding and want to get close up and personal to the...

cool and cloudy and chances of rain here or there. the next week looks to be much the same. it would be good time to do some digging if i can convince myself to get out and doing it.

i don't have a fruit cake page or recipe. the stubbed toes thread you've posted to recently. if you put that in alone and clicked search titles only it comes up as the only item found... i was pointing to that just for general information about when i used to hang out with the monastery guys...

if you don't actually get a frost the beans should be ok. yes, they won't like it but they should survive.

i have tried many different kinds of fruitcakes... there's a place up north that i used to hang out and help them and such and they made all sorts of things. :) (see my stubbed toes thread in the beginning...)

the deer eat our perennial poppies... they may have even eaten one of the colors here to extinctions, but since i don't spend much time out front in those gardens i may be missing something. :) we started with two colors, a pinkish orange and a more traditional orangeish colored one. the...

when you create a new thread, go to the first post of that new thread and then highlight the address in the address bar (of your browser) and "copy" it and then come back to this thread and make a new "reply" and then "paste" the copied address and then hit "post reply". :) you can "edit" and...

we had our bit of rain for the moment, may get some more tonight. this forecast was actually accurate at last... but it took them at least six changes (that i saw) during the previous week to get there.

i went out to look at the killdeer eggs in a nest. one of the parents (probably the Momma) was standing over them while it was plenty warm out with the sun she was actually shading them to keep them cooler. this birdie knows us as she was much tamer than some from the past who have had nests...

lucky you! a lot of people around here hunt and they still can't get enough of them.

they've gradually gotten better through the years but at times of the most change (in the spring and fall) it seems to be more iffy. recently just not even...

yes, you want your sprouts to be able to grow without being rubbed against and causing rot issues. after they've grown enough to get a stronger stem it's not as critical but it can still be a good idea to not let them rub against the mulch. later on you also want to check for rot issues...

the fourth of the fifth of the twenty sixth of the two thousandth of a heaping wodges long time...

nothing done outside yet other than picking up a few pieces of gravel and putting them back where they belong. not sure what i'll do today.

just remember that open spaces invites deer visitations... :)

Mom has a hard time with spelling and Dad wouldn't care enough to do it. i don't even recall what i may have written or even if there was much of a written portion of my application. I only applied to one college and they accepted me. little did they know... :) :) :)

the forecasts are crap recently. they must be using AI on LSD... for the past several days for this week they had chances of rain most every day and night during the week. now they decided that the rain might be here tonight but not the rest of the days during the week. when i'm trying to...
