Good luck with the cucurbits,
@Kiwibird! I've transplanted those before without issue.
@Sueby, I've winter-sown cucurbits in the past. More risk of disturbing the roots this way, but they've never sulked too much (of course I'm careful).
I like onion ring with bbq. I like chili with picle and sauerkraut.
Oooo, that sounds good. Stay safe as you can! I will say a prayer for your safety.
You can also see the smoke that we've been dealing with...
Goodness, that looks more like morning mist than smoke.
We keep praying here that you all get rain, and a good healthy amount of it, soon!
Once, I knocked over a measuring cup with about 2C of vegetable oil in it....it fell towards me, and all down my jeans (of course, it had to be denim), and all over the floor. It took awhile to clean and many rinses on the jeans before I would even think of putting them into the washing machine bc so much oil had soaked in. However, it certainly didn't smell like molasses.
Oh no! Oil spills (of any kind, really) are the worst! That must have taken forever to rinse your jeans! Ack!
I mean, if it is coconut oil you can at least roll your dog or cat around in it and end up with a super soft coat, but... ;P
There is still a little cat litter on the molasses spill. LOL And...I'm out that molasses! Booo!
@Acre4Me, those dried beans are beautiful! Your green beans look wonderful too! Good luck with that luffa. If nothing else...I'm sure the bees enjoyed the blossoms.
I just got into it with my daughter and when she had a smart mouth I offered to smack her face like she does to the grandson, right in front of him too. Said now you know where he gets it from and you deserve all that you get. She’s outside sulking. Waaah.
*giggle* Oh boy. When I was young Mom would tell us she hoped we had kids just like ourselves so we could understand what we put her through. ROFL As it happens, my sister did end up with a son just like herself and then some. Lots of exciting stories. Actually IIRC she got a stern "L-------, that is ENOUGH" a couple of Christmases ago! The circle of life...Enjoy that weekend!
@Acre4Me...don't be too fearful; it does seem to depend upon the child (and the parent! but gardening/livestock-owing parents seem to be rather chiller...). By the time I was in my early 20s Mom said I was more friend than daughter. I was not a perfect child by any means, but was and remain a bit of a quiet, bookish nerd. Also, I had my own place by 22, which helps one respect one's parents much more. My BFF was bookish but not quiet at all, and locked horns with her parents 'til she was in her late 20s or so! You never can tell. Isn't that part of fun of parenting? The surprises? The dashed expectations? ;P At least that is what people tell me I've missed.
How are your rescue birds doing? Are they warming up at all yet, or at least relaxing a bit?
It was 45F when I ran out to let the chickies free this morning. They did not care a bit about the chill, though. Just more seed and greens gathering. Some of my nasturtium (in the flowerbeds) have leaves big enough to be taco shells!
A couple of small jalapenos have formed—we'll see if they make it. Anyone else suspect an early frost might be coming this year? There are a few big tomatoes still on the vines, and still more small ones—we'll see. Can't say I see many or any more setting.
Keeping all of you in danger from fire or weather in my prayers! ❤
My hubby found them down by the mailbox.
