Gardening for Old Folks (Adaptative)

[Molpet]

Wow, where do these mornings go ? seems like they fly right past with that one hour missing.
I overdid the walking. Hips are tender. going to skip walking today. Anyway, it snowed last night and the driveway is all wet and sloppy.
One more PT session, tomorrow. Then I am done with that.
Annie found my really old beer recipe book. I think I will browse through it .
I need a recipe for 3 gallon batch of amber ..

good saturday morning, finally supposed to hit 60F today. I have things to do. going to play it by ear. might end up doing nothing. will blame it on spring fever.
I am done with PT. for graduation I gave each of the coaches a bottle of blackberry wine.

I bet they appreciated it!

they seemed to . I waited until the last day so that if they don't like it, I won't hear about it. LOL
Our first day of spring is very nice 61 F, . It can stay like this for a while and then warm up..

I started my Tomato and Pepper seeds yesterday. Those and 4 scallions I felt bad for and potted are the only things I'm working on so far.. well, I do have my onions, but they are outside and will probably wait a while yet before they sprout.

we won't be doing any planting for a few weeks . DD has peppers and tomatoes started .
I got the tractor started. back bladed the driveway and put him into the garage.
it was a loose wire on the coil. I will have to keep an eye on it until I can find a longer nut for the stud.

Took out my flowers from the utility room, and let them get outdoor air, and rain. My potted peach tree has burst into bloom about 2 weeks ago, even though it is usually dark in utility room. Lights are on only when we are using, or doing something there. The warmer temps also caused the room to be somewhat warmer as well. Most likely that was the trigger factor for the blooms to start to open.
If I foresee a frost, I move things inside for the night. Right now no frost predicted for at least this week.

This willow bush also started to bloom.

Here is the lineup of candidates that bruceha2000 cant tolerate,

And on a different note,,, reading gardening posts, many peeps claim shortages at their stores of gardening supplies, bulbs, seeds. I visited Menards Home Center to get some soil, and fertilizer, and see they are well stocked on things.

Much assortment, and not overpriced.

nothing growing here yet.
speaking of lights. DD is using LED lights instead of grow lights. There is a version of LED grow lights, too. less expensive to run.

I use a 2 bulb. 4-ffot long LED shop light for my seedlings. By using one COOL light bulb and one WARM light bulb, the output is the same range as the "grow" lights and the cost is about 1/2 what they charge for a grow-light.

Mine is an 8' fluorescent fixture with 2 LED daylight bulbs 59W 6500K.
