Curious about salsify. It's grown in the UK, although, I don't think that it is common there. Maybe somewhere else in the world. It's a weed around here but if it grows and is fully mature — the root is as skinny as my little finger. Personally, I don't like rutabagas and don't care for the...
Breakfast. The first load of laundry is in the washer. Garbage went out, mostly because DW stuffs whatever in the first available trash container and it hardly makes sense to then move it around the house to one of the other cans.

Wow!
All that recent wind blew in warm air and sunshine. What a change and near record warmth at 70°f (21°C). We have had one March day that was above 60 way back, weeks ago. Now, this.

Rain. There was a chance that it would start out as snow but that didn't happen.
There is also a chance of an afternoon temperature coming close to to 70⁰ (21⁰C), midweek. We have had only one 60 degree day in 2025 (16⁰C)! I have been thinking that the change to Spring just brought more...
Tastes. The differences are difficult to account for. Inexperience only goes so far and obsession is way over the top with some folks.
Wholewheat toast and canned peaches — I'm on to the herbal tea. So, we passed the hunger moon and then, the worm moon. I haven't seen a single worm on the soil...
