Ha, ha. The row cover I put over the planter on the ground dirt and the cover I put over the flower seed, due to the stakes I used to prevent the covers from being taken off, worked last night/this morning. Both covers are still solidly in place, the squirrels didn't get in them.

When I went out to check this morning, there was a bird in one of the two big oaks behind my fence and he/she was chirping very loudly. It was saying it hated me for covering the flower seed and the walking onions. I said to it, “Go to hell you murdering piece of s-—”.

You are sooo funny. I call them stinking rat bastids. I put out soaker hose in my garden this am..Next time I will do it before there are plants, and tomato cages everywhere..

Oh, and one of my cabbages has a little "head" on it..I just planted it (six pack from the nursery) last week. Oh, and yesterday, I bought several different brands of iron phosphate, sluggo, and I forget the others to battle the snails in my flowers.

Also, Home Depot had their pentas in 1.5 gallon decorative containers on sale 4 for 10 bucks..They had been $14.98 each the day before..I tried to resist, but failed, and bought four. I have no idea where to put them..right now, they're setting on the front porch where I unloaded them yesterday.

OK, just ordered Ball Blue Book for preserving and bought the tool to use to seal the jars with the right amount of torque (and use to unscrew jars), and the canning set which is a lifter to lift out hot jars and magnet thingy to get the lids out of hot water. Haven't bought the water bath canner yet. All this is assuming I'll have produce enough at some time to do this. It should happen next spring/summer and I'll digest the book from now to then so I don't screw up.
