Hope you feel better soon Tina.

Junie, I am planting the strawberries in my garden. It's time to start a new strawberry patch. My old plants are over 10 yrs old and producing poorly.

My potatoes have chitted, GG and I cut them tonight...they'll heal over and be ready for planting tomorrow. We have 54 pieces to plant. grin

Yes, I bought too many potatoes this year for just a big tree pot (it is a bit bigger than a half barrel) so I planted while potatoes, instead of cutting them up, so many eyes to a piece. WE shall see how that goes.

Have fun planting your new strawberries. It must be grand to have fruit in your garden, It has been a bit more than 13 years since I have had blackberries and I still miss them..

"Cindy" says that storms are on their way...sooner or later so I think I will say goodnight now and will soon turn off my computer.

See everyone tomorrow.

I hope you get a great haul from your taters, Sunny. Enough for yourself and some to sell/share.
Stay safe in your storms, Carol.

Hi all.

I see the weather in the U.S. has been horrid...stay safe everyone kissie

I love fresh fruit. My plan is to slowly build up my backyard for such. I have rhubarb that comes back nicely each year and a plum tree. Apple trees grow all over my area (old abandoned farm land/old properties) so we just pick what we want. I'll have strawberries again then raspberries, blueberries and small strawberries grow wild here. I plan to add two gooseberry bushes this year. Slow and steady....$$ wise.

I'll be outdoors prepping my garden today grin

Thanks for popping in Tina...I worry too much at times.

It's a holiday here tomorrow...Grandboy is coming for a sleepover. My DD is finishing up the painting in her kitchen while he is gone.

GG and I are going to check out the garden nursery that opened this week...it is on the way to my DD's house. The are supposed to have some some special sales to mark their first weekend of the season.

I wish you all a great day.

Hi all.

The new nursery owners have done a nice job of the old nursery...but the prices reflect it. Their items on sale are twice the price of the garden centers. It was nice to browse but sadly they are too expensive for my budget.

Grandboy came for a sleepover....toddlers are such fun.

Good Morning !

I am glad you are having a good time with the Grand boy. And yes, toddlers are SO much fun.

Sorry for the prices at the new Garden Center. Seems to be a sign of the times I guess.

Prices here are much higher this year as well. I had to look the other way when buying my plants this year. Sad thing is I really need a few flower plants yet. But I guess I will get them & just try to get smaller/cheaper plants. They will all grow after all.

Good morning. I was up in the wee hours and went back to sleep for a couple. I've messed with my sleep again. I'll have to fix that.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Monday.

I have that issue sometimes, Tina...I think it has to do with getting older. What I heard when I was much younger was true. Aging in NOT for sissys.

Sunny I know what you mean about prices. I remember dodge would say she'd been to Lowe's and gotten all these deals but the Lowe's closest to my house NEVER puts anything on sale. Even the plants that look mostly dead aren't put on sale. I did find a beautiful big pot of pink petunias on sale at Harris Teeter today for $4.99. Should have bought 2 pots.

All 3 of my sisters and several of my friends wake during the night and then have trouble getting back to sleep. Thankfully I don't. If I wake up it's to go to the bathroom but I go right back to sleep.

Yea, I never seem to find really good deals on plants either...

About sleeping. I have to stay up very late--so that I can go to sleep & stay there until 7 or 8 in the morning. IF I go t bed say at 9 or 10, I wake at around 3 to go to the potty & my body is done sleeping for the night. I envy you Sheri.

The best deal on plants here are at a hardware store called Canadian Tire. They have different sales all season. For Mother's Day...clematis were on sale for $6. There were only 4 varieties to pick from but at that price one can certainly find one that they like.

I took grandboy home last night....today I feel really tired. It is pouring rain as well, it will be a long day.

Good morning. I slept well until I was wakened by my kid at around 4 am. He was awake so I should be also, I guess.
I will go out and shop for my normal bread and bananas today.
And I hope everyone has a great day.

I hope you got to rest today Tina.

I did a kitchen housecleaning job today in exchange for a screen door that a woman bought on clearance and couldn't return(it was too small). It's the right size for my back door. It was a fair trade but my days of cleaning for other people are over. I am tired.

Bartering...good for you Sunny. I don't want to clean my own house some days much less clean for anyone else but I might if I got a good deal like you did.

It has poured rain all day and at one point the wind was unbelievable.

We had hamburger patties, slaw, and roasted asparagus tonight for dinner and Johnny brought home cupcakes.

Good job with the barter. I hear you on being tired, Sunny.
Daily Dr. visits are harsh, Carol. J have been there. I hope the rain eases off.
I had an issue with my computer. I had to run scans and stuff. It appears better. Will run things again tomorrow.
Sweet dreams all.

Hi all.

Bartering used to be a normal thing for me but I don't have the energy for it anymore. I'm getting old before my time lol

It rained all night and we still woke up to frost...it's taking a long while to warm up.

I am going to make a post and share some pics in the Hollow Log. grin

I am way tired of all the rain here as well. Someone forgot to tell Mother nature that it is no longer April.

I guess it will be no different here as in the past.. Cold and the furnace on one day and hot & the A/C on the next. It is a wonder we all do not have pneumonia.
