Doesn't everyone??

Whenever I want to learn how to do something I look it up on Y-Tube.

Yes I do Sandy, I watch way too much gardening youtube videos!

Sorry Ken. I am not a sports fan. Except for hockey that my grandson plays. I simply cannot figure out what all that running around is about and what the umpire calls mean or were called for. Actually I have the same problem with hockey - icing? Offsides??

I truly understand, Mary. Sports, particularly college sports and football are more a way of life here in the South than elsewhere.

You certainly have the weather for it. I have seen some games (bits and pieces) played in Wisc and the poor fellows were playing in snow.

Believe me, Mary -- the Packers do a lot better playing in snow than when they have to go to Miami and play in the heat at the beginning of the season !! (I'll never understand how they schedule those games... Miami will probably be in Green Bay in December or something!!)

I got all the pots and plastic and Reemay put away in my greenhouse today... tomorrow is supposed to be reasonably nice again (as in, no rain), but then Friday they're saying we might have snow (I guess I'd better take advantage of tomorrow to get a few more things taken care of!)

The second half of my garlic is planted. I had my son's happy-to-help assistance today, and that was wonderful! He even made sure that we came back to the house with some cold tomatoes, red peppers and carrots as well. I love these kinds of days!

I had the help of my 1-year-old cat for planting a few (16) garlic cloves inside my hoop house yesterday... that was definitely NOT so helpful!!

Probably not ...but did he/she have a good attitude? If so, points for that at least.

Chelle, I'm not sure it could be called "good," but he definitely always has an attitude!!



or maybe a "catittude" !!

Oh yes, I can see his cattitude very clearly!

Pretty kitty. Is he bird-watching in that picture? He seems very fixated and intent on whatever he's looking at.

He may have had his eye on a bird -- but he always has that intense look! (kind of spooky, actually..)

Excellent facial markings.

He's pretty cute for an alley (as in bowling alley, where we found him last year) cat!

Cute cat.

I put a second layer of row cover over my plants because it is supposed to get to low 30s this weekend. My favas have germinated and I saw a few parsnips. I also saw some volunteer leaf lettuce I covered and will transplant later. My purple sprouting broccoli has also germinated.

We got all of the plants into the greenhouse tonight. I'll have to rearrange everything later, but they're in. I brought my coleus cuttings in the house.

I had to do the same thing, got my burlap and sheets out to cover my pepper plants then put a lot of hay on my broccoli, cabbage and kale plants to survive through this weekend. Woke up last night and there was snow on the ground.

@weedwhacker love your cat, he looks so intelligent...bet he knows how to raise heck.

I have cats and a dog and I think the cats get up to more mischief than the dog...the cats tear up my houseplants ski keep most of themin "plant room" with French doors closed. If I leave them cracked open for even a minute the cats rush in there to chew on leaves...ugh. But I love them.

We're having frost tonight here, is getting down to 30. Very windy and blustery out, I picked all the zinnias, marigolds that were still going strong and picked all the herbs...only veggies i have growing are swiss chard and rutabagas, which i think can handle the cold. We shall see in the morning.
