Saw this shirt on Shirt.Woot.com today – had to share with my fellow BBQ buddies. If you are a BBQ fan, you will love this Evolution of BBQ shirt…
This shirt is too sweet, and I just picked me one up. But just like everything on Woot… it won’t be around for long at 10$, so if you want it, better get to it! (hat tip: @zealotonastick)
We’ve been bad blog, dog & plant parents.
We have finally made it through the month of May. There were a few days in there that I didn’t think we would ever make it. James went out of town three weekends in a row and I went out of town two. The other weekends were spent at family functions in other towns 30 or 45 minutes away. We. Are. Tired.
Our yard and plants have suffered. Most things are still living they just aren’t doing as well as they could be, but this weekend we are HOME. In fact there are no out of town trips planned for this whole month and we hope to keep it that way. There is grass to cut, potatoes to harvest, plants to prune and empty barrels to fill.
At this point I would have to say that the tomatoes in the Aerogarden are looking the best and feeling the least amount of stress.
(Yes, we do realize that the name tag says cilantro. It’s a liar. LIAR! We used our own seeds for this and it was the only tag that we had.)
This picture was taken a week ago and these plants have grow a lot since then. The Aerogarden will never take the place of our garden outside, but we do enjoy trying to grow different things and watching how fast they grow.
We will take some pictures this weekend of the other things going on. It’s been a tough year to keep things documented but maybe things are slowing down and we will get better.
P.S. – WE ACTUALLY GOT SOME RAIN THIS PAST WEEK! Real live rain!
Okra is a warm weather veggie and is usually planted in late May or early June, but with the weather we have been having we decided to start some a little early. The seeds germinated in a reasonable amount of time and I’m thinking that the early planting will do just fine.
I planted two seeds per hole to make sure that we had one in each spot and every seed germinated. I’m going to give them a couple of days then thin out the smaller seedling. This will leave us with three okra plants which I’m thinking won’t be enough so there will probably be some container okra showing up soon!
After last night’s planting we thought that we were done, but we aren’t. I’m thinking that we will always find one more thing to plant and one more pot that needs something in it. How about you?
