Room for one more order...Not any more!
9:00pm Orders are dun full up...can'ts takes no mores...Round 1 is officially closed...Please hold your orders and we'll try again for Round 2...I'm gonna be busy the next few weeks...yeehaw...
The orders have been coming in steadily, and I thank you for that! I think i have room for maybe ONE MORE order, so if you are contemplating, please email me before tomorrow...then I can get underway with this first batch and if there's enough interest, we can go for Round Two...
Mulch, dirt, weeds, compost, bulbs, neem oil, pruning shears...that's been our day today...instead of being 78, its 63 and much easier to work in the yard...I planted some aliums that I've had in the fridge for the better part of a year...some were moldy, I don't think they'll grow, but what they hey...Brian dug up lots of the grass that grew last summer when it wouldn't stop raining...
...I told him I shoulda just gone out in the rain and pulled the grass as it grew, cause it grew so fast...still, its coming out pretty easily...the ground is sandy and relatively loose, compared to the clay soil we suffered in Austin...(some parts of Austin are rock and you can't really grow anything)...part of the reason we relocated where we did was so we could dig into ground that was soft...we're amending it with compost and mulch, its already much blacker than it was last year when it was more of a red color...I can see some of the plants I cut down to the ground are already starting to grow back - they feel the dirt and compost, they are warm and mulched and wet, so of course they grow...we still have our coldest month to come, and i hear noise of possible snow/ice next week (just for a few hours) so that should shut down the plants for a bit...as long as they know to start growing in March...this will be our first year to have plants come back from the previous year, so it'll be fun to watch it all take place...it'll be March before ya knows its...
