I had a nice day today

With everything that's been happening just lately, things on the farm got a little behind, so I went over there this morning to help my sister do starts. A lot of plants need to be grown into seedlings before they're good to transfer into the actual field (usually because they're too fragile or not cold-resistant but sometimes just because the ( Read more... )

I'm really glad you had a great day with your sister.

Thanks :) It was really nice. I'd almost forgotten what it was like to have a nice "me" day. *hug*

YAY! So glad to hear you had a good day and feel so close to your sister. I hope that for both your sakes, this trend continues. *hug*

Mom would be VERY happy to know that we're getting closer. There's never been a RIFT or anything between us, but I used to feel a kind of disconnect. This is a good thing.

Yeah, it's still pretty cold here as well, but they've got the field plowed and furrowed and the starts are in a makeshift hot-house in the basement. I guess the celery needs like 80 days before you can plant it, so we should be past the risk of frost. But the hardy stuff can start going in within the next few weeks.

Hosta's great. When we still had the house, we had probably ten or twelve ENORMOUS hosta growing around the back porch and garage. Some ferns are nice too for high-shade areas. I've never been hugely into flowering plants; I like leafy ones more -- kind of subtle but still just lovely. *tries to think of ANY fruit or veggie that does well in shade* Apple trees, maybe?
