What did you do in the garden today?

[WthrLady]

I have daffodils 5 ft away from an arborvitae with a browse line

right, they won't eat the daffs, but that doesn't keep them from things around it.

Well, seems expensive & ridiculous that we even have an issue, but durability is important. I will try Duluth & Dovetail & let ya know.

FYI the green overalls, unless you have a totally flat butt and belly do NOT fit and they are STUPID long in the leg, but not from hip to crotch

I just rode 10.5 miles on the bike round trip for a slice of cheesecake for dessert tonight. LOL
I just buy men's coveralls and alter them. But we SHOULDN"T HAVE TO!

I altered a couple pair of hubby's pants to fit me. Man, they are sturdy! And the pockets are REAL sized, not "feminine" sized.

Right on!!! This is my reaction to most of the women's pants I've had in the past few years:

Don't you ever wonder who the heck they are using as models when they come up with their sizing?

DH has pants that are going on a decade and just fine.
And the pocket issue....ARGH.

I'm laughing about riding miles to compensate for cheesecake

About the darn clothes...never had an issue til the 1990s. Prior to that I could grab anything & not even have to try it on. What they did was add nasty fabrics to the mix, rayon, uncomfortable, scratchy stuff, then they changed sizing. Suddenly everything was huge...a size 2 fit like a size 9. Why? Because the new crappy fabrics shrink that bad? Then all brands decided to have "their own size" & not conform. Well, then I was a size 2 for some things, a double zero for some, or a size 7 for another. It is crazy! It should not have to be so difficult to get something to wear for goodness sakes.
And don't even get me started on sleepwear!!! What woman wants to sweat & wake up drenched? There were No Cotton night shirts or night gowns for years & today they're still hard to find. I got a bunch of men's white 100% cotton T-Shirts, size large & tie died them. Cotton is the best, why are they pushing these nasty fabrics?

I can't stand that every pair of womens jeans are stretch! I don't want stretch! By the end of they day they're falling off.

Can't put anything, like keys, in your pockets or the pants slide right on down.

Zone 6b Gardner here!
We have lots of stuff coming up and a few blossoms coming through.
Strawberry blossoms pictured.



Have a question for 6b peeps,
Have you had your asparagus come back up yet?
My plants would be second year crowns this year. Let them grow and fluff out last year and trimmed them back before spring this winter.
Have yet to see any popping up.
Is it to early or are they done for?
