My Schoënbrunn ground cherries really started to worry me with their slowness to sprout. Both Physalis minima and the Geltower ground cherries have sprouted, neither of which were my seed, yet my own 2024 seed had not broken ground? Today saw my first itsy bitsy sprout, thank goodness. I have...

-20C/-4F last night. And I thought last year spring was slow to start. 🫤 Shoveled snow for almost an hour today.

I chuckle a bit to read your reference to accidents during the import/export process of early summer with the transplants before they can stay out. That is so true, lol. And I have 2 reluctant teenagers to help me with this process (who rush, of course, toward completion) so it's 3x the...

I LOVE your grass!!!!!!!!!!!!

You'd think for how utterly famous Jurassic Park is, that they might have thought better of it. I'm increasingly of the belief that the ancient great flood was rather about this sort of thing, because you can't fix DNA. That woolly mouse, yikes...

It is the first time I've started the tomatoes this way @Decoy1 , having 6 varieties per 6 cell container. But I've found in years past when I started them in the standard starter pots it was so much soil, and then so much juggling space under lights. Fitting everything under lights is my main...

And so it begins!! 🌱 The tomatoes are sprouting nicely and in good time. Most of these are all new to me, so I didn't know the age of any of the seeds, germ time could have been pokey. I planted a few faves of my own using my oldest seed lots, dating to 2017 and I can't believe how quickly...

I doubt it, tomatoes are pretty tough. Tomatoes and pepper plants do funny things when they store carbohydrates - that leaf wierdness in the pic is what that is. Carbo storage. My pepper leaves do that. I think you actually posted a picture of your pepper leaves doing this last year as well...

I think it's okay too @hdan. Tomatoes do weird things sometimes, I've even seen this on fully grown potted tomato plants occasionally. Sometimes leaf curl is a problem, but not always. And sometimes once planted outside it looks totally normal again. When you transplant you can always strip...

We had a blizzard today. Almost white out conditions, dangerous heavy snow covered roads. Giant snowplows are out again, even though on Friday it seemed so nice out and spring was here! Crazy!

Very true.

Keep hope @Marie2020, it's not an easy road dealing with reactivity but I've met many people have 100% solved it. Even quite severe cases. Almost all the online dog trainers I follow say this is the #1 reason why people seek them out for help. I quite like Cheri Wulff Lucas and she has put...

Reactivity is a really big issue with dogs right now. I've wrestled with it a bit, and can tell you some of what has worked with my dog. The relatively easy life a well loved dog has, has a downside, it's a life that can take away a dog's confidence because they aren't working to do anything...

Got another round of planting done this evening! I feel weirdly organized too, things are going so smoothly. This can be a bit of an overwhelming time for me because I feel pressure to get so many various seed species in soil, and usually asap because the 8 week mark doesn't last long. So...

Works like this, at 1:50.

All tomato seeds are planted for 2025! 🍅 :weee As per my usual habit, I way overdid it....but I have such a surplus of really awesome tomatoes, thanks in large part to the amazing tomato collection of Bill Minkey, that I couldn't resist overdoing it. lol But I was at least somewhat strategic...

Same eyes!

Beautiful plants, as usual, @Alasgun!

Me too, but I think lots of people are in a hurry to get to work Monday morning and felt they had to go as is. Not easy to scrape off 2 inches of ice from your roof in a hurry without hurting your paint job. Still very dangerous though. I stayed way back from the cars ahead, so when the roof...

The last 2 days have been nuts. Just one of those perfect storms of conditions that created a world covered in heavy duty ice. All weekend we had freezing rain and yesterday morning I woke up to a car cocooned in thick ice, I've never seen anything like it. The bottom 2 inches were snowy-ish...
