This morning the sun is actually shining. Of course its not supposed to get past 20* today but tomorrow we're due for a warm up and a melting of all this crap.... errr I mean snow. I hope so anyway since I'm scheduled for another back procedure. <br /> Do ya'll have a decent size farmers market? I've wondered if OKC has a large one and am betting it probably does. I don't know why I'm even wondering, especially since I've never even been to the one in T Town. Our little town has one but they won't be starting again for another few weeks. I've never seen any seedlings there though. It looks like I'm definitely going to have to find seedlings somewhere though. <br />Hang in there- This too shall pass!

Girl, it looks like you're set with all kinds of seeds for a long while. <br />I hear you with planting this year. I have broccoli (4) plants picked up from the farmers market last week, and celery (4) grown from the bottom cut offs of existing celery. My green house is standing and partially setup with containers, seeds, and seed soil waiting to be started. This cold has me not so motivated. <br /><br />We woke this morning with 1 inch (more to come) of snow, terrible ice (coming down hard), thunder, and lightning. Temperatures 7 degrees, and rising slowly. Temperatures to peak today to14 degrees. <br /><br />Stay warm and safe. Sending hugs to you and Mars.<br />SandySandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-66174459517919819702014-03-01T21:50:14.532-06:002014-03-01T21:50:14.532-06:00THAT is my problem.

I've been known to call him and pick his brain about some garden problem and he always seems to have an answer. He also loves to tease me about how much later I have to plant here. He lives on the coast in Texas and so he's always way ahead of me (and loves to tell me how he's eating fresh tomatoes while mine are just being set out in the garden)<br />It sounds like you have a pretty good system going with your seed starting. I'm still pretty new at all this but every year things get a little easier as I learn more about it.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01666836930255009486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-59108483016843203772014-02-28T22:01:42.530-06:002014-02-28T22:01:42.530-06:00I'm sorry about you loosing your Dad so soon. ...I'm sorry about you loosing your Dad so soon. I know you must miss him terribly. I bet he would love to see your beautiful gardens. My granddad just loved to garden and I suppose he passed that love on to my Dad. I suppose it's a trait passed on from generation to generation. <br />Those seeds mean a lot to me. He might not call and isn't on the computer these days but there is love in that box. <br />He can't stand to talk on the phone much but I can get him to talk for 10-15 minutes (most of the time) before he sighs and says "Well, my ear's getting tired, I need to get off here" Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01666836930255009486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-51141375142284175212014-02-28T21:51:31.191-06:002014-02-28T21:51:31.191-06:00My mom lives up in the mountains out of Redding, C...My mom lives up in the mountains out of Redding, Ca. They don't have cell service up there AND her bandwidth allowance is even smaller than than ours is. She calls every time they come down the mountain and I just love chatting with her. She doesn't write much. When she does it's always real short and to the point.<br />My dad's a whole other story! He used to have a computer but just lost interest in it I guess. It drives me nuts though because I'd really like for him to be able to come here to the blog and check out what all we're doing around here.<br />Thanks for the week end wishes.
