You mean your don't plan to grow them anymore and will use the beds for something else? Strawberries were one of the first things I planted when I started gardening. I don't know what variety they were, but they staged a remarkable and aggressive takeover of the entire garden space in a very...

The Dune we watched was the one that came out in 1984, directed by David Lynch. Apparently it is somewhat of a cult classic, though I found nothing entertaining about it, simply bewildering, long and bizarre. I only watched it a month ago and all I can remember is 'the spice the spice'.

Flight of the Navigator! I love that one, we have a copy. And we have ET and Short Circuit too which I agree are also good and family friendly. We watch Goonies on rotation too. Galaxy Quest! I actually have that one and its still in the wrapper, I was a bit worried not knowing anything...

That is so great @Blue-Jay, you have introduced to the world so many wonderful bean varieties. I'm glad that you feel the happiness you've brought to other bean lovers. 💚 💚 💚 I DM'ed you the info.

You have never cluttered up my stuff @Alasgun :hugs I appreciate the amazing depth of knowledge you have about organic amendments. I hope I can level up to that some day!

After obedience class on Tuesday I asked about the prognosis of the dog attack victim. The good news was she's back home from the US, but the bad news is it looks like her right arm will only be cosmetic. May never be functional again, just too much damage. But her gofundme has covered most...

@Alasgun do you grow any sweet peppers? The amendments that you suggested a few years ago have really been a boon for my in ground pepper plants. I've honestly found that fish bone meal, alfalfa, kelp, azomite and also epsom salts has made a huge difference in my pepper success. Some of the...

What a winter, coldest and snowiest I can remember in a long while. Gonna be -33C/ -27F tonight and tomorrow night. There has been a lot of -30ish weather. Thank heavens we have space on both sides of the driveway for the snow, because I can see the spark of snow wars in the distance with...

I would love to hear more movie recommendations! I really struggle to find family friendly stuff, most of what's out there is not my cup of tea and I wouldn't want the kids to see it. I have researched quite a bit on family friendly movie sites, and even those ratings are not totally reliable.

@Blue-Jay I found you on some bean packets ;)

Did my first round of sifting through the 'yet to be grown' seed packet box tonight. What a backlog, tomatoes in particular. Sorta thrilling though. Creating a line up of varieties to grow is one of the most fun parts of the season. :love

Will a bulbil develop scapes the first year its planted? I would have thought they're too tiny? When I did do garlic years ago I planted cloves not bulbils so I have no idea what bulbils will do.

I guess I could do bulbils, those would be do-able in early February. They'd basically be like seeds in packets; I actually ordered a few rare varieties of garlic bulbils this winter. I'm quite excited to try them, been a long while since I grew garlic. These of course will take a few years...

Seedy Sunday was an absolute blast, the most wonderful one I've ever done. They expanded the physical area to include a large adjoining space (the cafeteria, it was in a college) and that really helped to prevent the terrible congestion of foot traffic we had last year. Tons of people...

Seedy *Saturday' tomorrow. Usually I'm all over the map and rattled to the hilt for these things, trying to be prepared in every possible way, but I actually feel great tonight. I'm not looking forward to when I have to pack the car tomorrow at 6 and its -28 C/-18F. I don't have much choice...

Well, another near fatality in my dog training orbit. So utterly shocking I still haven't full processed it. A lady who is a professional musher, has over 20 male huskies, 2 pointers with whom she does hunting and tracking work, and 2 Malinois that she competes with as well. If there was ever...

It's true, absence does make the heart grow fonder. Enjoying these flowers more today than when they were actually growing. 🥶

-40 both C & F when I got up this morning. Poor dog; I'm grateful at least I don't have to go potty out there.

@Blue-Jay did my parcel arrive today? Tracking says it should have arrived the 21st, but it's not showing that it arrived yet? ETA: OK, I see a delay flag on the package. The good news is that is says the item is still on the way, the bad news is this is kinda wierd.

Little happy story to share. The last 2 weeks have been kind a nuts for me, such a busy bean year so far. I've been feeling like a skier under an avalanche for at least 2 weeks. Elated, but scrambled. One of the requests that came in arrived in a jumble of others. Because all the financial...
