Iโ€™m off to the kitchen for more tea and maybe some breakfast. My body says it isnโ€™t breakfast time yet but Iโ€™m trying to get with this time change. Back in a bit.

They pop their seeds out over a wide distance and spread like wildfire so even growing them in pots isnโ€™t safe!

Please donโ€™t plant lupines, they are extremely invasive and have destroyed many acres of good pasture in our area.

hi, if you plan on flying anywhere the rest of this year, I would strongly recommend travel insurance because of possible cancellations and price increases due to oil prices and conflict in the Middle East

I used to do a lot of it indoors, have a really good grow light garden set up but I havenโ€™t done it for several years now.

If youโ€™re new at growing from seeds there are some that are easy to grow by planting them directly in the garden. Eg, radishes, lettuce, turnips and several flower varieties.

Best to have it checked out, I hope they get the results back to you quickly. Meanwhile trust your doctor when sheโ€™s saying itโ€™s not a problem. Love and Light and hugs dear one.

Theyโ€™re a lovely company, mostly organic with lots of great varieties and good service.

I was thinking the same thing when I was awake in the night and knew it was really the witching hour. Then I fell asleep and was woken up by a text message and couldnโ€™t see straight enough to read it. ๐Ÿ˜› I hope your day goes well Amanda, blessed be. โ™ฅ๏ธ

It is crazy, and thinking about my garden crops of the past couple of years itโ€™s been getting crazier for awhile.

Crap, just got an email from West Coast Seeds saying they have shipped my seed potatoes order. This might be a good time for gardeners close in to town but my farm is waaaay uphill where we wonโ€™t be planting until the end of April! ๐ŸŒฑ

Morning all. Itโ€™s sunny but chilly here on the farm today so Elke and I didnโ€™t waste any time getting back inside! Sheโ€™s now curled up by the heater and Iโ€™m sipping a lovely cup of tea.
