Lots of plants, almost ready to get transplanted into the big garden.

It's good to have internet access again. I've pulled up the cold frame for the year, and we're going to get rain later today. I hope the high winds bypass us, though.

That’s a good bunch of plants there for transplanting. So glad you are back. We missed you.

It’s 90, sunny and windy. Texas skipped spring by going from winter to summer, blam!

Johnny and others, did/will you get hit by the storm this evening? It came out of nowhere. I had checked the weather and was sitting down the last of the inside seedling trays onto the back porch when hubby yelled to bring them back in because golf ball hail was on the way. Thankfully, we just got the wind but some friends put up pics that looked like snow.

I finally got the berries but had to settle for an ohchita and an apache which I didn’t want because of the chill requirement. These are thornless but had wanted thorns to deter the deer and sneaky fingers. Here, you get what’s at the garden center or do without. I bought a fig but will probably give it to the neighbor and got some more seeds (like I really need more, not). Also, picked up a roll of landscape fabric. Thanks, all who made recommendations but, again, had to get the best (Scotts Pro) of the two they had on the shelf. We’ll see how it holds up against the TX sun.

I’m all kinds of impressed with these old peanuts, lol. They’re growing great guns. Some still popping up and some 3”.

Yikes, just saw an eagle flying off with dinner that was rabbit or cat size. Well, I can’t say anything since I killed a snake on the garden bench this afternoon.

Looks good Johnny! Glad you have your internet back up. Looks like some good cooking pans there that you’ve put to good use. Did those onions make it? Mine are growing up through the snow.
