    Did she leave you the head and tail like my Vera used to do for me?

    It doesn’t have to be a special occasion to show a friend you care.

    I found out the same, so I delayed my planting. Its supposed to rain most of next week so planting this weekend will be perfect. How big is your bed and which farmers market?

    But I got the bed ALMOST done. That back corner is DEEP seeded roots. I might have to dig it all out and replace the soil. Got the hammock up though cause watching plants grow is way more fun than watching paint dry!

    I was thinking of setting up a camera on my garden and doing a time lapse video of everything growing this summer.

    Anyone have any suggestions on a low budget camera that doesn't need wifi? My garden is right outside my studio, so I can run a hard line from my PC direct the camera and mount it on the outside of the studio facing the garden.

    Please don't suggest Arlo. I already have their full security package and it pretty much sucks.

    I told her she could after she offered to me. She has excellent manners. Much better than Trump, for sure.

    Our lot isn’t that big so we just lace a raised bed that’s probably 4’x20’. We also have berries in our flower beds. We go to the Oregon City farmers market, which would probably be a good choice for you too if you’re in the Canby area. Download the “WhatsGood Markets” app and it will list farmers markets near you. You can place your order using the app.

    Thanks! Awesome! I will do that. The Canby market is offering ordering online, but I have yet to check out what they have and I know the open air market is something left to be desired, however much passion and energy they put into it, bless their efforts. :)

    My tomato plants have gotten so big under grow lights I'm going to have to transplant earlier than usual. I have started the two-week hardening off (plants can't go from total shelter to total outdoors overnight, they go into shock). Fortunately we don't usually have cold weather after mid May. Peppers should be able to wait until June although they are growing fast. Just made kale pistachio pesto which sounds gross but is actually quite good.

    Are you saying you wanted the mouse for a snack? I can try to send you one. Most people prefer cookies.

    She sounds like a pretty damned good cook but I'm afraid I'm gonna have to take a rain check on the mouse cookies.

    Is there a vendor on there you might suggest? little tough to figure out who is offering starters and plants for growing vs produce for sale without opening each one up it seems./ I need to play with it more, but limited on time if I want to get orders in to pick up this weekend, im assuming. :)
