What are you doing today 2023

[StarSong]

Toddler grandson will here again today so nothing on the schedule of note besides hanging out and playing with him - and trying to keep him from mischief and injury.

Some of you probably remember my happy posts when he was born. Well I'm here to tell you, time really does fly; he's 17 months already!

Planted the last of my garden this morning, never say done though, there will always be some plant or other than catches the eye.

Back to the silly show Farmer Wants A Wife this afternoon. I think this edition of the show is a new one. But beats me how these ladies get all prissied up, full makeup including false eyelashes, I suspect one of a little false enhancement in the boob department, Surprise the farmer.

Yesterday, I hung my new Boston fern over the front step, transplanted 2 basil plants ito a large pot and 2 rosemary plants into a matching large pot. I also hung a purple and yellow flowering pant in another area.

Hubby bought a couple of rosemary plants a few days ago and plans to plant them tomorrow. For some reason, our previous one bit the dust late last summer.

We need a Thai basil replacement - ours has become quite leggy. Ditto my beautiful Italian basil plant. Maybe some more mint. A flat leaf parsley plant would be good, too...

the very last thing they'll need if they become a farmers' wife will be false eyelashes....they need to make the most of it before they end up just wearing mud as an accessory the majority of the time..

The posts above make me miss all my gardening activity at my old house.

I have to be very careful about plants and their growing history ... a small patio allows only so much. Oh well.
Love growing herbs!

I love Thai basil. I almost bought one yesterday but my space is so limited.

Do you pinch out the new growth on your Italian basil Star? That makes them get bushy. I love basil; I'll even put some on a ham sandwich.

Yes, I miss my gardening of years ago. Like you, Bonee I only have a small "patio", but I do have a small back deck where I've put other pots of shade loving flowers and ferns. I'm thinking of doing it again this year, but think I'll limit that to one large Boston fern and a pot of Impatiens.

I have had my rosemary plant for several years now. Love the smell. Keep it indoors for the winter in a west window and let it have a summer vacation outdoors for the summer months.

@Lee, Thanks for letting me know you can keep rosemary in the house! I was just wondering this year if I could do that with mine. I'm so glad you mentioned it.

Hot again today and sort of sunny.

Deadheaded some flowers, pulled some weeds and moved some portulaca. That's the gardening for today.

When DD gets home from her Thursday morning job, we're gonna do our Walmarting. I used to like to go just to browse. Now I put it off as long as possible.

I have to write the report for the client I saw, go to the chiropractor and take Amy to the vet. I will end the day with a walk. It’s finally 70 here .

I don't know how to do that. I do pinch off flowers before they go to seed, but mostly I just water them and pull off leaves as I needed in the kitchen and replace the plants every year or so.

Have you been able to keep basil plants healthy for more than a couple of years?

No, the frost would kill them. I never thought of bringing them indoors, but the rosemary is like a shrub and may do well inside.

Here.. it shows you where to pinch (cut off). Hope it helps.

I never grew Thai basil before, but pinching is the same principle. Prevents "legginess".

I’m ENJOYING the great outdoors !!!!!!!!!!!
There’s no better place to be. .

I'm headed out to Tractor Supply for a tire tube for the rototiller, then to Mavis Tire to get it put in. This tiller is less than a year old, and I've had to replace both tubes already. I started the area for planting raspberries when the tire went flat, but I'll get that done today. My dear friend and neighbor, Jason, is coming over this afternoon. We are going to lay down a tarp and pull out everything in the big shed and go through it. When I moved back out here last Summer I shoved bags and boxes, dozens of them, in the shed. When I open the door, all you can see is a mountain of packed stuff piled on top of each other. Way in the far back left corner is a ton of beekeeping supplies. Jason just got his bees a few days ago, and I no longer keep bees, so I am gifting him everything. Several years ago a bear came through and destroyed my hives, and that ended it for me. This feels like I'm passing it down to the next generation, even though we aren't related. So, the rest of the day will be garden-related. Get the raspberries in the ground, and I have 2 peach trees and a dwarf cherry to be planted. It's too early to plant the vegetable garden, have to wait about 2 more weeks here. My nephew broke his leg a few days ago and is having surgery this afternoon, so I'll be praying for him (and my sister/his mother).

I am not dead. Just released from West Park rehab facility this morning. Home again. It's a very long story for sure. Two and a half months in 3 hospitals. I am able to walk without any aids now, but slowly. B has been a champion all through this journey. I am glad to be home. I will still be going to a local physio therapy clinic for the next 2 months, to work on building up my muscle strength after 8 weeks of lying in a bed unable to walk. Along the way I got a cardiac pacemaker, so my b.p. and heart rate is normal, as is my O2 concentration level. I will write more in a personal message to you tomorrow. It is so nice to be home again. I hope you are well and busy with your planting. JimB.

I went to hang some clothes in the spare bedroom closet and low and behold there was a puddle growing on the floor. At first I thought it was the water heater which is in the laundry room. No sign of a problem.

Went out to turn off the water at the street and the meter was under water.
Finally found the tool I need to turn it off but had a hard time to say the least.
Looks like this may be a bad pipe. I called and left a message for my plumber.

I will probably be posting on the what have you bought thread soon. LOL

Had a wonderful visit from my daughter! I see her every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday evening! Sundays, she, my son-in-law and I watch football (soccer), on the other days it's Cooking Shows and Jeopardy! Tonight we watched Jeopardy!Masters. Great for keeping an old brain lubricated!

Helped tearing off half my roof. Built out the gable overhang to 6" and put on ice guard and synthetic roof underlayment. Then me and the other old guy just ran out of gas as it was near 80F. Hope to get the half shingled tomorrow or Saturday. I think I drank an extra 5 bottles of water today if not more!

Day 2 at the cricket...there may be no day 3!

 

[Georgiagranny]

Here I am all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. It's time to get a wiggle on, get dressed, get going. Time to make and stuff. If I'm lucky, Sir will be there, too. If I'm not lucky, I'll be working alone.
