i did see some squash seeds had sprouted in one of the gardens. they weren't intentionally planted by me and i don't want those growing so i did remove them before they could take over. the soil is getting warm enough to sprout pretty much everything if the squash are coming up.

it goes in cycles here, we have some years where there aren't many around and the semi-feral or feral kitties keep after them and other years where we get overrun by them. i'd say this is going to be a busy year so far from what i've been seeing.

or ear muffs or ear protectors. they're not too expensive and make loud tasks so much more bearable.

yes, i learned the hard way that i should have taken my vacation pay as actual vacation time and then i would have gotten a few more months of health care and retirement contributions. probably cost me $20-30k by now.

i wanted to mow today, but Mom had other ideas so she started mowing yesterday morning. i want to encourage her to be as active as possible but there is a really uneven area that is difficult for her so i take over when she's had enough and gets to that area. so hopefully that will be the new...

garden club meeting this afternoon, reading and puttering around until then.

Spooky aka Pooks...

yes, same here, a few weeks yet for the more valuable seeds i only have limited supplies for planting. the rest of the beans i have plenty so i can risk a few earlier attempts.

so true. when there isn't a list i get nervous...
