i tried to do that years ago with a bare spot since i had a lot of old see packets that i wasn't going to plant in any of the more formal gardens. it was an unfenced area and the critters pretty much ate almost everything that tried to grow other than a few of the beets and turnips that were...

love the froggy pic and beans too! :)

Daffodils can be moved any time IMO as they are fairly indestructable. the best time to move them is after they've died back and before they've started to put down new roots to regrow later in the summer, but basically to move them now when they still have leaves is ok, they won't love it, but...

rains and now a downpour so we're getting in at least a few rounds of soakings...

sometimes you can't look away even if you know you should...

plus it is nice to have a shovel handy to smack 'em with if they need more persuadin'...

mine have taken so long to show any signs that they are even going to grow this year, finally i have a little new green showing. if they flower it's going to be a few months later than normal.

in the home repairs, cleaning, customer service and spider hunting combination of things... the digital tv tuner box went out (perhaps after too many lightning strikes). we bought it way back when the channels changed from regular broadcasting to digital. the large tv and stereo cabinet had to...

it depends upon what kind of cardboard you are talking about as to how long it may take. the more complicated it is and if it has plastic coatings, or many kinds of inks. the more simple cardboard (plain craft paper quality with no ink or black ink) will decompose quite quickly given enough...

hard freeze last night. sunny and cool today but now warming the rest of the week. we could use a good rain, what we've had recently has been more of sprinkles. maybe this weekend will be raining.

... i've always firmed the soil after planting my beans and pea seeds and very rarely does anything bother them. the exception to that was the edamame soybeans which the chipmunks would hunt down and eat or move. one season i planted three times (three hundred seeds total) and only raised two...

i tried to get some pictures but generally failed to get much that are good enough to post. the most amusing pictures are those of a lone squirrel which was sitting on Igor (the cement chunk with mirrors on it that sent the sunbeam shining on the basket above the fridge) with his tail hanging...

beans, onions and green garlic if i think i'll have the time for it. this year i'm pretty sure i won't have too much extra energy or time for anything besides beans.

it was the Bee's Knees...

earth day should be 365. there is no other place within easy travelling distance that will easily support life. there is no other place with chocolate or coffee or garlic or chili peppers or tomatoes or bugs or birds or fishies or people or clouds or ktties or doggies or beans... or ... x...

if i wake up and don't get back to sleep right away i find something else to do as i hate wasting time and the frustration of laying there and not sleeping makes it much worse. so the more i can get done the better and the distraction helps. :)

that makes sense, but if you do want a larger gathering sometime you can just ask people who have sensitivities to make a dishes to pass (of things they can eat). i live with someone who doesn't eat much spicy anything and i love chili peppers and other spicy foods, i just have to keep some hot...

i like the habit of the plant, but i've not been able to grow them here - i only tried once and after seeing how little they can produce i've not bothered to try to find a variety more suited to our climate and season length. so i have to just look at pictures online... :)
