Just remember, when you plant them that way, make sure they get enough water! I do something similar when I plant my potatoes, and if I don't make sure they get enough water, I don't get hardly anything.

I actually have mine on automatic drippers. Otherwise nothing would live.

Need to find: citric acid.
Making mozzerella (how do you spell that?) as soon as I get some.
Also would like to try growing bean sprouts.
Just in case I was running out of ideas.

Calif. rain shatters records, and more is coming
LOS ANGELES A storm walloped parts of California with up to 7 inches of rain and spawned minor flooding, mudslides and road closures Monday, but forecasters warn the bad weather's real impact may be yet to come.
More than 3 additional inches of rain expected across the region by Wednesday will hit already saturated hillsides, increasing the possibility of slides and flash floods, said Stuart Seto of the National Weather Service.
The relentless rains that pounded California through the weekend smashed rainfall records, caused numerous traffic accidents, downed trees and forced the cancellation of some horse races.
The weather service said rainfall accumulation could reach 20 inches in some isolated locations by Wednesday, when the first phase of the storm is expected to pass. After a brief respite, it is forecast to return late Christmas Day.
Our area is not built to have this much rain. We don't even have drains under the streets. Thankfully my house is on top of a slight hill.

I'm in the Sierra Foothills and we're under a flood watch for small streams. The water is just pouring out of the hills!!

You'd just better hope and pray that the hillside doesn't slide away!

Last week the rain let up for 3 days- just in time for my husband's and my anniversary trip. I have found my dream location. All I need is a million dollars to buy a gorgeous bit of land in heaven.

I read that story of your trip and it reminded me so much of when we go on vacation into Kansas.
Isn't it weird to go on vacation and REALLY feel like you are going home instead? That is the way I feel in the Flint Hills. Hubby and I have been back to the same little towns about 5 times now and every time it is the same. Last time I arrived in the town I said to hubby, "Welcome Home" and he laughed and agreed.
I long to go back. We would need to get a lot of work on this house done and some debts paid off, but maybe someday....
