The sundew we ordered arrived last week after taking a beating in transit. We were a tad concerned it wouldn't pull through. This morning, however, we see the little guy caught his first fly. Whoot!
All the chile plants finally potted up, along with the eggplant and some onions. Need to get more pots for the herbs - I let the basil flower and seed last year, and have many volunteers coming up. Once again G's "garden" will be much larger than originally intended!
Love or hate massages? Try ortho-bionomics and you just might tell massages to take a hike (if you haven't already!) Just make sure you schedule it for some time when you don't have to do anything afterwards, as you'll be too relaxed to want to do anything else.
It's been a few weeks, but I still gotta say: I got a 12" dual-bevel sliding compound miter saw! I got a 12" dual-bevel sliding compound miter saw! ;o)
In theory, just 2 days until I can put the plants outside for good. Good thing, too, as they're pushing the limits of their starter pots. Branching has started, and I am furiously picking buds until they're out in big pots. Should be a great year!
Yes, folks, it hit 80F here just a few days ago, and today there is snow on the ground. More snow and sleet coming down as I type this. So glad I brought my plants into the house last night!
When a guy who makes a living off the stuff he's created pointedly looks at you and says "You know you are going to have to start selling these" about something you made to solve a little problem, how cool is that?
Something I never put any thought into before: the weight of eggshells. I've toasted and powdered the ones I've collected so far, resulting in a cup's worth. I didn't realize until now just how dense they really are.
