Gardening.....

[VincentUlyssis]

Scythe, have you ever carved soft wood? I bet you'd be great at it!

Monarchs are gone. More mosquitoes I notice in their place. Migrating birds have left or are leaving. Flowers still in full bloom, even with nights in the 40's. Red Red-leaf and white Begonia, Alyssum, Geranium, Purple-leaf New Guinea Impatiens, Blue Salvia, Marigold.... The best and longest lasting garden ever!

I'm already thinking about this spring.Taking notes. I seem to forget some things after a long winter, so just in case... I seem to be getting better at this overall.

Picked some fresh red and green basil. Dropped it with a large can of Campbell's Tomato Soup, equal part 1% Milk, 1/8 cup of olive oil, 2 teaspoons of tabasco; simmered to a boil. Not bad and it took about 2.3 minutes. Okay, maybe five.
