Just wondering what you all have on order, or plans to buy when you hit the ground running after the last frost. ;)I've got.. Oh gosh.. Alot of stuff ordered and coming in. Just got 4 grape vines and 5 blueberry bushes in today. I've got some leaf mold piled up from the fall leaves that I'm going to mulch them with when I get them in the ground this weekend.Bunch of other stuff coming.. Some shrubs, pile of flowers, etc..So how about you all.. Ready for that last frost?

I got some cabbage seeds and lettuce seeds under grow lights and over a hot pad on low. In a month, I hope to start my tomatoes, peppers, and beans.

Anyone Getting Anything Good In?

Going out to Baker Creek Wednesday to get a variety of their heirloom seeds. Got a $50 gift cert to spend. Getting mostly maters and peppers, and am trying some new radishes, lettuces, and melons (damn raccoons!). Jere will try to talk me into some exotic root crops, and I will probably try one or two. Other stuff is mundane, but lots of landscaping and flower beds this year -- trellises, fences, arbors, etc. Seventy six degrees today and up to TWENTY FOUR inches of snow expected by noon Tuesday -- damn groundhog.

cheers

agree with your tiredness of this winter, being on the other end of the state. It sucks here too. Ice played hell with the trees, and power early Dec. Lookin at a couple of inches of new snow tonite and the next week of cold again.

Crap.....just went outside for ...relief... and the freekin' ground is white again. Oh well, guess we must need it, eh?

Just completed my belated order to Rareseeds......gotta love Jere and all. Marvelous assortment of heirlooms from around the world. Good prices, good measure, good service.

The two feet of snow was what the guys said Sunday. Today they have pulled back and said ONLY 8-14 inches. It's already sleeting bullets outside. I just saw a hairy woodpecker at one of the feeders get zapped by a pellet. If you ever get a chance, come to Baker Creek (he is trying to popularize the name "Bakersville" now) on the first Sunday of the month. There are exhibits, schmoozing, and LOTS of music (may even hear me). Naturally, in the hotter months, there is more to do, but it is always worth the effort.

Seems to me that this has been one of the longer winters in my memory. I know that we are all really tired of this and it looks to be cold all week. I was dreaming of planting lettuce last weekend, but that is on hold.

Looks like Jere is developing a nice place.....kinda reminds me a bit of the old Silver Dollar City. We haven't been there for about twenty years, though we went often from the mid sixties thru the early eighties.

Lovely and I were talking this evening about heading to Springfield for a few days this spring. We have a hankering for some throwed rolls. Been a few years.

Post it up when you intend to play. You gonna get yerself on the youtube with the other players? ;-)

Springfield got all the snow. MO/AR border got really smacked. I got nuttin' but a bit of sleet and corn snow -- all melted already. Kinda disappointed, as I had the CC skis out and everything. Anyhow, off to BC tomorrow (after the dentist). Gonna try the "three sisters" this year: corn, beans, and squash all out of one hole. Any first Sunday is a good one for music.

cheers and maybe see ya there
