I wonder if you could put up small potatoes ? They are good fresh though.
Yay for more jelly/jam.

I love the red pontiac..and as I love the gold varieties that I buy at the store, I bet those are going to be wonderful tasting as well.

Junie, one can preserve potatoes....but it wouldn't be worth the hassle I think.

Well, the mulch is down....wearing long kitchen gloves this time did the job for keeping my hands dye free. I only did the flower beds around the house but it still looks good.

As I understand it, Tina..in the U.S. with the Pfizer. vaccination one has to wait 21 days to get the second shot...With the Moderna, the waiting period is 28 days. But that is the waiting periods in the United States. Canada vaccinations may well be different.

I am headed to bed. Sleep well everyone.

Canada can't do anything right it seems, they have stretched the second shot 90 days after the first.....then we'll find out that in the end, none of the vaccinations took effect. rolz

No, I think that is not right. The second shot is more variable as to timing. So the first is your main vaccine. The second is a booster. It is not to be given before the 3-4 week deadline because a body needs time for the first to work its way around. I think the booster timing is not as critical as the vaccine. So your country is spreading the vaccine intelligently, Sunny.
I do think they load more vaccines into babies faster than they should. On a typical first visit a wee little body is invaded by measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus and polio. Then monthly or whatever, boosters all around. I don't know if they have added more. I believe in vaccines. But I do wish there was a better way to give them. Like they switched to chewable vitamins or something. A drop at a time on a nipple?

I think we'll all need another shot too and maybe one yearly for awhile, like flu shots are given now. It will travel around the world for a few years now.

I dislike dandelion greens as well Tina, they remind me of the taste of fiddle heads...yuck.

There are plenty of 'wishing flowers' Junie, my lawn will only be cut later in the week.

Today is a 'planting oats' day.....with the 'help' of the two grands. I might plant the two of them by the end of the day. lol

Tina, we have an old fertilizer broadcaster that we use to spread the oats....it works quite well since a grain of fertilizer and a grain of oats weighs the same. We try to improvise to cut down some work without adding any expense.

The black flies are bad today, poor GB is a mess of sneezes and runny eyes and nose with the pollen in the air. He asked to come in the house...that never happens. I gave him some allergy meds so he is resting at the moment.

Well, I went thru the garden center...but aside from hostas all this Wal-Mart had was annuals. So I bought a few vitamins I was out of, and did my grocery shopping...not many people had on masks, but I did. However the pharmacy there was giving out covid vaccinations. That was nice to see.
