What did you do in the garden today?

@WthrLady I’m so sorry for your loss. Knowing it’s coming doesn’t necessarily make it easier, but I do think when it happens it’s not quite so heartbreaking because we have a chance to process.

@WthrLady, I'm sorry about your dad. No matter what age you are when you lose a parent, a chapter in your life is over.

Wormwood ... I think, lol

Agreed, that's what my plant identifying amp said too.

@WthrLady I'm so sorry for your loss. Peace to him and all your family.

Tornados came through last night... This is a picture of it forming just to the west of our house. Luckily no damage...

DH was discharged from the hospital today. He's being rather salty but thankfully he's getting better...
Picked up some of these items from TSC today. Thought they were adorable...

Ha, out here everyone has lemons, I'm happy if I can trade them for anything let alone a chicken! Today I trimmed a branch from the lemon tree and 5 fell off, dead ripe. I guess that's my gardening for the day.

Sis texted. Dad given Last Rites and has passed peacefully. We're ok. Had several days to process things. He wouldn't have thrived post surgery. He never would have gone home, and that news alone would have done him in.
My sister and I are sad to loose him, but he wouldn't have adapted well.
I feel horrible to my sister, who is not only going through a divorce (FINALLY - court date May 16th) after her husband abandoned her and the kids 3 years ago, but now has to juggle his funeral, house, bills etc. She's never left home and has always lived across the street from my parents. So she has dealt with everything that involves with parents, aging parents, for the 35 years I've been gone, now 1000 miles away.
What I want is for her to finally not be tied to caring for parents, and a dead beat husband problem and FINALLY get to be her own person.
Sigh.......

may he rest in peace. prayers for your sister.

I see a lot of my friends on here planting stuff outside.
I usually wait until around Mother's Day when my husband and boys help me plant, as my gift. Even then I still cover everything for a few weeks.
I know some people are south of me, and it's time to plant but zone 5er's planting? You all are making me nervous... like I'm missing out.
Next week's forecast here shows a few days at or below freezing for low temperatures, so I'm going to hold tight for now.

I am in 4b and not planting anything but onions yet (I just had to do something, though likely early). I usually plant early May too but I got the itch really bad this year

Adding soil and pest moss to newly cleared area for partial shade garden. I dont know what to edge it with or even if I have too? I want to make my yard eventually into a food forest so I want it as natural as possible and nothing that is too heavy or has to be moved to work in the garden. Anyone got any good edible plant I could use as a border plant for zone 4?
