Learning from the Past

  Update: Garden and more   The flowers I planted yesterday bounced back (yay!). I definitely have several veggie plants growing well and we are dehydrating a bunch of bananas. Hopefully the old Nesco dehydrator works well.   It's almost 90F here - ugh. Everyone is lying around and not moving much. I empathize    I had to run to Walmart for lemon juice. Sticker shock for the day: $28.50 for 8 lbs of chicken wings.    

Potatoes are going crazy, I have pinto beans coming up, the squash & zucchini plants made it through last nights storm and onions and garlic look good. Never thought I'd find gardening to be enjoyable but I'm liking this.   I found bananas on sale, I'm going to try out the old dehydrator and see how well it works.  

  first day of real heat and I'm out there planting stuff....    I bought some very lovely yellow squash and zucchini plants in case the critters totally took out my seeds that I had planted. We'll see what comes up!  I saw the healthy, beautiful squash and zucchini at the feed store and couldn't resist   The potatoes are doing great as are most of the marigolds, the coleus, garlic, rosemary, catnip and English thyme. I might have some aster flowers coming up! Yay!   I'm grubby and my clothes look like I've been actually planting. So, off to a shower!
