Holy moly, where has the time gone ( Read more... )

A tiring but productive weekend, for the most part. Indeed, I did pretty much everything I wanted to do, and the couple things I didn't get to I can easily take care of tomorrow ( Read more... )

A bit bummed that one of my containers of carrots got flooded. Lost all of them, alas. Still struggling to grow peppers, although moving the pots to a sunnier spot seems to have ( Read more... )

The weather has been cooler but not unseasonably so. Even got to below freezing one night but it didn't really seem to harm the flowers or leaf buds, yay ( Read more... )

Can't believe it's February already. Wow. Seems like just yesterday we were wrapping up the holidays ( Read more... )
