I have a lot of plants that are unhappy to remain indoors. I don’t like the idea of transplanting sickly tomato and pepper plants, but that’s what I am doing today. Time will tell if this was a mistake. I may start new seeds today, just in case I have tremendous plant failure.
The other day I mentioned new endeavors. This year, as I turn sixty, I will be trying my hand at fermenting (sauerkraut and pickles), pressure canning (hopefully tomato sauce), and growing mushrooms in buckets.
Wordle: three, my starter was WATER
…too easy.

come on John – say something………
If I actually say something, it’s not lurking, is it?
🙂

Nope!
Not MUSHROOMS in BUCKETS?! Wow dude, way to get wild and crazy!
he’s really pushing the envelope – isn’t he?
And how many time have you grown mushrooms in buckets? Hmmm? 🙂
me, never. Let me ask Davey………
I have a feeling Davey is a pure forager. Just a hunch.
Yesterday Allan noticed a tree leaning in the neighbors back yard – we’d noticed it before, but it was so windy, and its looking dead, and resting on a branch of another tree.
So – I sent her a text about getting it taken care of – its close enough to our yard (& camper) we don’t need another insurance claim. She & her husband didn’t seem to worried about it, she thinks it would fall away from the camper & only damage some chain link fence. (we aren’t so sure about that).
I then texted a tree guy we’ve used before, he was in the neighborhood – so he stopped by.
His price – $1800 for the dead one, and another $1000 for the one its resting on.
I have another guy who was just next door not too long ago coming by today.
Once I get this 2nd estimate, I may have to formally get the neighbor involved – so I can get them to pay for at least some of this.
2025 – still spending money like crazy……………
I feel your pain, though not as strongly.
Good luck with the trees.
You’re going to take down a tree on someone else’s property? Will they not mind? My neighbors wouldn’t mind, but you never know.
its way in the back -they don’t care, it actually probably in the easement – but it won’t hurt anything of theirs – so they really don’t care.
looking like dead tree – $1800, take out the live tree next to it – another $1000
Its all about spending money this year……….
Wordle in 5 and all the letters and all bu 2 in the right place in 4.
I have the 30 yard roll off mostly loaded. I’ve had to cut some of the bigger trunks to be able to move them- lifting them into the box ain’t happening. Getting everything in and pushed in is its own battle. A skid steer would be more useful but can’t lift as high to slam dunk into the box. Doing the best I can.
Hopefully, I can wrap up today and actually do something fun while I’m on “vacation”.

Had the Diavola pizza at Double Zero last night and it was definitely spicy. Just a nice burn, nothing crazy. Then we finally watched the season finale of The White Lotus. OhEmGee that show is so good.
I finished The White Lotus last night too. This season was crazy good.
someday I’ll get MAX……… someday.
but I can’t keep up with the stuff I already pay for
Not only will I never subscribe to HBO, I refuse to call it by its confusingly changed name.
I only have it because it’s bundled into my cell phone plan.
I wouldn’t bother getting Max, honestly. That’s the only show I ever watch on it and you could probably rent it from Prime at some point.
OMG, this season was SO good. The cast was amazing, too.
YES! Everyone. Walter Goggins especially did not disappoint.
Yes, I’ve always liked him and he outshone himself here. No really, he was super shiny the whole season. LOL!
The scene with Walter Goggins and Sam Rockwell in the hotel bar was beyond excellent. The facial expressions that Rick cycled through as Frank caught him up on his Bangkok lifestyle were absolutely magnificent. I may have to catch up on some of Goggin’s other shows.
David –
Justified. He played Boyd Crowder so well.
YES! I loved him on Justified. I loved him on The Shield as well. Oh, and I blurred his name, it’s Walton Goggins, not Walter. Oops.
wordle in 4 –
Connections – didn’t get some of the categories – but I guessed & didn’t flame out.
My respect for the green lizard which is out sunning itself has kept me from planting two eggplant plants. Tomorrow…
I have put in eight, less than stellar pepper plants. I will keep an eye on them to see if they need to be taken out at some point.
Funny how I have respect for some creatures over others, I guess it’s a sliding scale based on crop consumption. There is one, uncovered brassica (a cabbage plant I believe) on which cabbage moths have been laying eggs. In the past three days I’ve squashed about a half dozen small caterpillars..
I think you are ok – I doubt the lizard messes with your plants like the cabbage moths would
As I’ve gotten to the bottom of the log piles, I’ve had to rescue 3 frogs. I guess really toads. Either way, I’m saving them. Blue tails skinks as well. They were too quick to catch and move, but I told them to find a new home.
