What did you do in the garden today?

My son: who was the one who figured out Beaver butts taste like raspberries...

Agree, and who was the first person to look at a geoduck and say, ya, I'll have some of that please!

Someone hungry.

Like the same person that looked at snails with hunger.

Another one is the stuff that needs boiled like 4 times before it's safe to eat. I can't remember what that was, pokeweed?
What family went through that?
Well we cooked it twice, go get cousin homer to try it.
NOPE better go for three, anyone seen grandma ruth?
Four?
Ya, that'll do Chuck is still walking straight.

I have quite the headache today. I think it might be the beginnings of a cold on top of not sleeping well-I’ve effectively been up since 1am. Granted I stayed in bed until 5 am, but I hardly slept so I think the headache is partly due to missing sleep.

Coffee: like @FlintMcCollough noted- BLACK coffee. Generally strong but some coffee is too dark and burnt tasting to me. My mom would tell me to go get her coffee she left wherever in the house so she could finish it. Off I’d go to find it- a cold cup of black instant coffee, which, of course, I’d sip. So from about age 5 or 6 black coffee seemed normal. My dad would drink instant coffee with powdered creamer (no added sugar), and would dip his buttered toast in his coffee, so I would sometimes do that as a kid for breakfast. I don’t drink instant coffee now though. But I hardly ever sweeten my coffee even if I put creamer in it (which is rare).

Funny though- my FIL likes to try botanical things to see what they taste like. They moved to the south, and heard about Pokeweed. Did NOT yet know you needed to cook, drain it at least 1-2x before the final cooking when you got to eat it. Yes, everyone had a big stomachache that ate it….THEN he was told pokeweed needs a few cook/rinse cycles.

sorry about your head.

Sunshine is leaking through the clouds!

I just got a real score. My neighbor found a source of bunny poop. 50 lbs bags for $10. She got 4 and sold me one. I really need some fast help for the tomatoes, peppers, asparagus, and a few other things this year. I'm going to have a lot of my own compost too. This stuff can go on now.

I finished seeding the third 72 tray today - now on 2 heat mats in my office. Need to order another couple heat mats - I just stacked one tray on top of another until they sprout. The first tray already sprouted lots of tomatoes and herbs. My neighbor has a big tomato & pepper plant sale in May so I'll fill in with some of her different full grown varieties.

Do you mean a 50% chance of succeeding or 50% chance to have an ablation? I had one and it really helped. Not completely--if I drink too much or let myself get dehydrated, I have an afib. A friend of mine had to do the ablation twice, but so far the second one is helping. Hang in there.

50% success .
