    Thought I'd share his morning's wildlife. A young male Black bear and a pair of juvenile Hairy Woodpeckers and their mom. You can see our latest project in these photos, a new walkway and shade gardens around our pond. I was hoping it would be done for my Mom's surprise party on the 30th...no chance of that.

    I am so excited, we are heading out to Lowe's this weekend to pick up gardening supplies. I was so proud of the fact that my brussel sprouts made it through the winter and were still pretty and green. However, I noticed that that rabbits got into them last week. I really do not know a whole lot about them and I am a novice gardener. The stems are still there, will the make a recovery or should we just buy some more plants?

    (We are also tightening up our security in the garden,lol.)
    Hearts and thoughts they fade....
    fade away...

    I am at peace with my lust.....for Eddie.

    The stem I don't think will do well. It wants leaves to get that sun! and most of the time the leaves come off as you take the sprouts. That being said, if the plants looks good and healthy, leave one or two and try it out. Remember they take up a good amount of space, so for a good harvest I would put fresh plants in. (don't want to waste space on a plant that will yield very little) Just some thoughts..

    Last week I noticed new growth in all my pots in my wee courtyard garden.The sight made me very happy.Today I weeded them all,turned the soil,fed them and gave them a good watering,while the stereo played in the house and the skate kids passed by on their boards on the way down to the beach.Gardening is good for the soul.It makes me feel alive,happy and settled.

    :D

    Oh I've missed this thread :) so nice to see. I was just thinking of the original pics posted back in the day. Picked the first cukes and a turnip today. Been eating handful of raspberries daily and everything seems to weathering the shithot all right. For the first time I planted some flowers to keep the bees happy- bee balm is one coolass fleur!
    got a car...got some gas...oh let's get out of here-get out of here fast...
    I hope you get this message but your not home...I will be there in just a minute or so...
    I want to go but I want to go with you.
