i got up to pee, now going back to sleep as much as i can (a few minutes or maybe if i'm lucky a few hours). chances of rain in the forecast this afternoon and then also tonight. we'll see how it goes.

mowing got done, had to take a break to cool off. only had one thistle plant along the edge where it used to be full of them so my mowing for those few years really did help. yes, i mowed it again (carefully not to mow anything else around there). while i was over the other (north) ways i...

i'm tempted to raid some pea shoots tomorrow as they have not begun to flower yet, but a few snacks of some greens will be a welcome fix. other greens coming on that i can find to snack on are dill and some radish and turnip sprouts. the question always is can i find the memory tomorrow when i...

sunny and warm, not much of a breeze. went out and watered the gardens most in need of it and hope for some rains soon.

maybe dill?

yes, too much ferts and organic materials just encourage more growth from weeds and things you aren't aiming for. :)

after some thinking yesterday and tired enough i decided to not plant part of the garden i was working on yesterday - the back corner is very sandy and poor soil where the tulips are mostly gathered now - the tulips do well but the beans i often plant over then tend to not do much at all and...

the small creeping thyme is really putting on a show right now. i'll have to get out and get some before and after pictures as it is being blocked by weeds and daffodils. it still looks very nice considering i've hardly weeded any of it since last fall. it will need a lot of work to get back...

are they grafted trees? any sprouts that come from below the graft will not give fruits of the desired type. otherwise training the strongest main sprout is the way to go, it may take several years before you get much from it.

@ducks4you yarrow will take over... i like it and if mixed with grasses in a lawn it will look nicer during dry spells than what a dormant grass lawn might do, plus the foliage is softer to walk on with bare feet. the downside with yarrow is if you happen to be reactive to it. the white kind...

the Purple Dove beans that sprouted early in the tomato patch are almost flowering. these are random beans that fell on the ground during harvesting and they sprouted when the weather got warm enough for them. only a few are large enough to flower, all the rest are about as big as the ones i...

all parts weeded, leveled and ready for planting. i do a little light cultivating of the rows before planting so that i can get the seeds down far enough that they won't pop back out when watering. while this is still a pretty good garden with the soil quality better than most of the others it...

and a one, and a two...

all natural vitamin D. :)

it hasn't really rained enough to keep the grass in full gear, but that is ok with me as then i can squeeze in a few more days between mowing. the temperatures are on the increase now but overnight we're still getting into the low 50sF. daytime temperatures in the mid-70sF and then heading up...

finished planting the network beans in a 2nd garden so there is diversity in locations. a few seeds kept back for each of them just in case... tomorrow on to the next bean garden. not sure yet what i'm putting there. :) it may take me several hours to get it all weeded - it's a pretty big...

another garden planted today and hope for another tomorrow. :) it's coming along... ready to fall asleep. ZZzzz....

they are geared to do their rounds at times relative to sunrise and sunset. we have some that come around each day too. i keep my windows closed (too much noise and allergic reactions to pollens so in the end it saves me a lot aggravation to leave them closed). we also have some mourning...

what if the O's are really worm holes to another dimension?
