What did you do in the garden today?

Dad's credit union has shut his accounts, they know him and us been members for 50 years, and are demanding his outstanding loans be paid by MONDAY. Well sure. How would you like us to DO that exactly? You shut his stuff! He has the money to pay everything off sitting in their bank, but we can't get to it!
They demanded car loan payment in full by Monday or hand over the keys! WTH! He's been dead TWO days. I can't even wrap my head around this.
BTW these are accounts my sister didn't even know he had and she pays his bills for him. Grrrrrrr. Had she known, she would have paid them this past week before he died and before she informed the bank he was dead.
I just want to scream with how complicated this is, and it shouldn't be. And why is no one HELPING?! They just cold and by the freaking book!

Cool, winds to 50, nothing but watering and checking on the garden.

Pomegranate would be the tree I would want if weather was not in play…

Pomegranate trees are supposedly easy to grow from seeds. I bought a pomegranate from the store and planted 3 of the seeds. All germinated but only 2 of the baby trees made it through the winter, I think.

Sounds like you might need an attorney to deal with these (bleep) holes and also ensure they don't take more than they are legally due based upon law.

Dad's attny retired ...LAST MONTH!
We don't have the money to pay one, and would need to find one that would take payment after. Going to have her call his old firm.
This is nuts.

I’m so sorry you have to deal with this on top of everything else.

I think I could in zone 7 or higher, but zone 5 would not work. Probably wouldn’t like our crazy winters and short growing season!

@WthrLady, Oh, wow. I'm so sorry you and your sister have to deal with this BS.

My life has been so crazy/complicated that I am literally afraid to go outside (no more birds, so no more sneaking out to tend them). I had to just go out to check on something, and I am honestly stunned that the flowers are up! It’s been mostly freezing, so I wasn’t expecting it.
All of the flowers in one area


And at the side of the house.

I love hyacinths! They smell so wonderful.

Off topic but. . .

How did I go 2+ hours without realizing there was an egg in my bra? I mean really now...
Well better then crushed in a pocket.
