My wife says you have to blanch them before freezing.

Fascinating.

The Codfather?

I'm rooting for it.

I think that's the most unimpressed cat I've ever seen. :-D

Murder the robot instead.

Ours do that without fertilization. But they've been in the ground for a while.

The banks get a holiday and you don't? That hardly seems fair.

Lovely peaness.

Garden Watchdog is your friend. Has probably saved me at least hundreds.

I made the mistake of looking up "Japanese hoe." Not what I expected, but maybe I should have.

Tried it for the first time this year, and it was pretty much a bust. Soil didn't want to clump together until it was really wet, so I was basically working with mud. I've gone back to peat pots.

Azaleas lining a driveway.

The azaleas along the driveway must be overcompensating for something. 🌱

I have one I've had for several years, and it's never bloomed. Might not be getting enough sun, I'm thinking.

It might be a camellia sinensis, the tea camellia. I have one and it looks just like that.

I grok.

Conscientious? Either way, it's overrated.

Leg-lover.

He's right. Most hoes don't tend to be very sharp.

One of my faves. You'd think I'd own one.

Hellebee.

When you wake up and realize what shape the world's in.

Playing games with people's lives is a dick move.

I bought some of those lights a couple of months ago and plan to set them up the same way yours are. A friend borrowed my heating mat so I guess I'll have to buy another. But I'll use it every year.

Nonsense always tastes better when it's scrambled.

Tell me about it.

I'd never been able to grow fuchsia here in Wake Forest until I got a 'Sanihanf' at Plant Delights. It bloomed all summer and into fall. I was gobsmacked.

It's what makes life worth living.

I have adopted failed restraint as a way of life.
