Yes it's the Labor Day weekend with lots of competition for people's attention. Is that why we only had seven of us for the gourmet hike? It was also scheduled at the last minute, which would have a kept some people in the dark about it. But we still had a good time. Rock Lake of course is the lake next to Jamison Lake. All the times I've gone to ( Read more... )

Kucinich now promises to vote for a reactionary bill that unashamedly protects the profits of the giant insurance and pharmaceutical interests while sharply reducing and rationing care for the majority of the American people.

I transferred most of my tomato plants into bigger pots and have started putting the mini-greenhouse to use during the day. I really need hiking season to ( Read more... )

Usually they are enough to take on any wind, but not this one. I can stake it down on the lawn but that's not a good place for the long term, as it would ( Read more... )

I'm really liking the mini-greenhouse. The plants are taking off better than I've ever seen. And it's still somewhat cool. There have been predictions of snow. Next season I have to resist starting seeds so early. I'll wait until mid-March.

Well, I just got through putting together a new toy--a mini-greenhouse. It just barely fits on my back porch, but it's nice and roomy for my seedlings. The seedlings were really getting leggy under the grow light, so it's time to put them outside during daylight. I know they will outgrow the pots in a few more weeks, and I don't have enough big ( Read more... )
