Good morning, Psillies!

Wow, we have some GREAT, mild weather upon us.....and through the weekend.

Going for an outdoor run this am. This is the time of year when the dogs come back very messy...the only minus to spring has sprung .. . . ...

Where in hell is everyone? Hope we hear from Sooooozie, Nikerler, Joooles today......and Ptaoughmghmn again, after his sudden drive-by a couple of days ago. . . ..

Morning!

I can't wait for this weekend- I hear the temps are going to be warm and its going to be sunny. I am thinking of a tirp to see my family. I never get there often enough during the winter months. Anyone have any good plans this weekend?

[flourgirl]

I'm off this weekend because I've worked during the week! Someone is looking out for me!!!! I'm planning on some pond repair! The deer have been punching holes in the plastic with their little hooves . I'm going to have to refigure the sides to protect it better.

Also want to go to the art/craft fair in Md on Sunday. Probably the only type of shopping I LIKE to do!

Hey Bev-really....how have you been doing with your sales? Any luck? Hope so!

Ummmm....Nik....I think maybe you are being hypnotised....., not necessarily falling asleep

*YOU* have a GREENHOUSE???? <:greenjealousface:>......oooohhhh

[blueeyedmanda]

Ok fellow gardeners...I am new at this-

So this question will be aimed at Judy and Patti and maybe Em since we all live in the strange artic climate.

When does one plant a garden initially? How soon should I begin this work--tis only the 1st weekend of March but still....Help!!!

[jerseyangel]

Amanda--do you mean a veggie garden or flowers?

In general, you should wait until after the last frost for flowers, shrubs and things like that. I'm not too familiar with veggie gardens. I used to have one years ago....there are a couple things I think you can plant early, but I used to have tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, and lettuce--and those I planted in probably mid-late May.

You can get the ground ready earlier, though--if you need to till. That way you'll be all set to go when it gets warm enough.

I'm sure other green-thumbed sillies will be of more help

Okey dokey. Put my red wine pudding onto purple's side dish thread. I am quite certain that all the non-silly readers will find the idea fascinating.

But will it be the same coloUr as your gnee???? ( Sore! Ouch!)

Amanda!...going along with Patti's advice (I think our climes are fairly similar)....don't plant anything out 'til the end of May (you still get night frosts up 'til then)

ThereZAH!...don't be jealous! ....GADS woman!!! .....I have a tiny wee garden (NOT like your garden land!) ..and when I say 'MINI' greenhouse I MEAN mini!!!!!

Tareeeeesuh! I will tell you what you need - - like my father, you need to be armed with a marshmallow gun. A couple o' those pelted onto the sides of those deer's heads should keep them away. Enviornmentally friendly, humane. . . .. ....what a perfect solution! Perfect like my dad's situation in the boring, depressing, often victimizing atmosphere of the hospital.

Ahmanduh! The golden rule around here is to turn the soil over and work it a bit in early May, and plant on our long holiday weekend (usually around the 16-18 May). That's for both flowers and veggies. What are you planting? How exciting.....yer first garden in your new home!

Must go and check this out. . . . ......

Jess! OMG....What....in....hell...... . .. is that in yer av?

Verrrrrry unsettling. . . ...looks like a subtle, sinister eye looking out. . .. .then I think I may see a face . ......fading in and out. . . ....rather reptilian....do I see scales??

Most disturbing of all is how it is rendered in such comforting, sentimental, child-like coloUrs. . . . . . . ..

Poor Pah-tea!!! ......and Mark the <what was it?>......'packrat'

I reckon you are an expert in minimilist living now!!!

Tel back from the docs today......... had his blood pressure checked (was too high last time)......... now it's TOO LOW

His cholesterol is too high again (can you say bacon fried in butter )......... but at least the doc DIDN'T advise him to eat wholegrain wheat and oats to help bring it down

T mentioned his hive breakout,......as expected the doc didn't really know why although he thought it was 'something to do with his coeliac disease'

This made me giggle (dunno why)

MUST read up on Jess's red wine pudding.............

[jerseyangel]

Thanks fer the update on Tel, Nik--I was wonderin'.

So, the hives have gone away?

YAY!! I wish I moved every couple o' years.....absolutely the ONLY way I would get rid of the sh!t in the basement, in the garage, in DH's tool room. .. ......

Almost....still a tad raised but nowt like they were

This is good news, Nik!

Um, this is likely gonna cause eye-rollin' (like, as if you hadn't thought of this) , but on the very rare occasion when I break out DH, it is very hive-like and sore. Could it have been a wicked DH episode?

One question.......WHO wants to burn the alcohol off?!?!?!

Gad. Don't know the answer to that one....all I know is: I do not wanna hang out with them.
