We're in the clear for now.
A tornado touched down about 8 miles south of me as the crow flies right in the middle of the metro area.

Thank heavens...it coulda easily been this...blah!




Oh yeh, sorry, can't be YOU...no real black ones in that mix.

00000000!!!!!! Aussie babies!!! I have some ordered and should arrive in two weeks. Really hoping it warms up by then,
I'm getting really worried about them freezing in transit

We're waiting for a major snowstorm to hit within hours. just to our west it's being called the worst April storm for them EVER!

A little prayer for the safety of you and yours, ChickenCanoe

Wisher im sort of leaning towards getting some eggs from u and trying to incubate. It seems like the next logical step. I wont be able to make the trip until mid may though. Im about to start reading up more on incubation. Sunflowers i did not think of to grow but sounds good. Guess im gonna have to google easter egg plant

Here ya go, I'll save you the trouble. I can't wait to see the look on DHs face when the fruit shows up. I planted them by the back door!

Now you know what it's like to be in Alabama in April! We get too used to it and don't take it as seriously as we should. Don't take any chances, find a basement to get in!

This is traditional April St. Louis weather. It's just been a couple years. It'll be near 80 today and near freezing a couple nights in the next week, plus saturated air = strong storms.

Thank heavens...it coulda easily been this...blah!

I did have a big storm blow through during the night a few years ago and blew the top off of a grow out pen of 3 week old freedom rangers and blew one into the next county. The rest were wet but sitting tight at dawn.

Thanks.
You guys have had a brutal winter.
A friend that I sent some Penes to last fall lives in northern Wisconsin. She's had a tough go this year.

Wisher, does the Easter Egg plant grow well in other zones or just the South? It's kind of neat looking!

i will have to try to find 1 of those. I like planting unusual things. My dw is going be shocked when the peter peppers start making. They came as a freebie when i ordered carolina reaper seeds. They are going to look strange in a mason jar for pepper sauce

You know...there would be a million of us chickeners that would just HAVE to have these simply based on fruit shape ...torment us all into giving them a go...hee hee. Green thumbs or naught...I often refer to myself as the "village idiot gardener" where things do often LIVE despite me.

Do make sure and remember to post us some pics. You know we are gonna love them.
