I use a fan on my seedlings too. It makes them stronger when they go outside. Be careful it dries them out bad so be prudent and get them used to it in small 15 minute increments.

Freezing rain here now. Just lost power twice but it keeps coming back. Spent part of my day graffiti quilting which I've never done before. Not quite the right project to have done it on, needed to be more simple, but it was fun.

How does that work? Never heard of it.

In a still environment like in a house, seedlings will get really tall with really weak stems, if they are blown around by a fan or a breeze, they beef up the stems and stay shorter to avoid breaking off. Makes for a stronger plant.

I hadn't heard of putting a fan on them before either, but I knew getting leggy from lack of wind was a hazard. Makes perfect sense if you think about it.

Guess so if there is allot of wind where you are we do not have a ton here and mu greenhouse blocks the wind from the area we plant in

@drumstick diva Left with brown grass showing, came home to white. I'm ready for Spring but know it is still months away for us.

@getaclue We had a tea party with my granddaughter a couple of years ago. It was so much fun! Thanks for reminding me that we need to do it again.

@Peep_Show I have a friend that rents in Santa Fe. She will be moving at the end of 2019 when she retires. Housing costs there is one of the reasons she'll be moving. Best wishes in finding just the right place!

@penny1960 COFFEE!
@chickisoup on the old lady friends!

@ronott1 Citrus fruit and tomatoes in February...I'm green with envy. My big sis has bike. Didn't get it until her late 50s, after a break-up she decided it was time to do what she loved/wanted.

@bruceha2000 I'm with you on loving the seasons, not loving it too hot/humid but wishing for a longer growing season!

I'm sure I missed some one... sorry

Thanks NAF.

Dh has a guy he works with that traps wild hogs and sends them to the processing plant.
Dh bought 2 from him a few weeks ago. The processor has been backed up with processing all the deer. So dh got a call yesterday that they will bring the meat to work for him tomorrow. Dh bought one hog and the guy gave him one for free. Since dh is his boss and he's trying to get rid of all the ones he had. lol
The processor made fat link sausage and patties out of the meat.
They weighed about 40 lbs each. I can hardly wait to try the meat.
I may fix some for supper tomorrow night.

When is that fungus covered birch going to fall @superchemicalgirl? And when it does, not over the driveway or on the house I hope.

I use it all year round, twice a day as I am literally allergic to everything.

I use Costco's generic Flonase. It is called AllerFlo and is WAY WAY WAY cheaper than the name brand stuff. EXACT same ingredients in the same order. The "mister" on the "real thing" is better though. Still for the price difference, I can deal.

Wow those are some really BIG links and patties. PARTY PARTY!
