31 going up to 60 in much warmer day, bringing rain in all day and night. It's getting muddy out here...both sides of the pond Eric.
Coffee is brewing, fridge is getting empty, time to go food shopping this morning. First I'm going to plant some flowers in the sun room.
It's fun to move the grow light around, with all the tired little shoots popping straight up in attention to the light they crave. Onions could get planted now, but my plans of early Feb are going to delay a week or two. The weather may be ok for the onions but it's not too good for me....cold and wet just isn't much fun and the next week or two apparently isn't going to warm up much.
Tomorrow the Super A comes home, finally, with its new oil pan gasket installed. That was the last delay, before delivery they did the final drip test after driving it around and it failed. Ten dollar cork gasket, but more importantly, I asked them to obviously clean the pan out and see how much gunk is on the bottom of it. Hopefully not a Paleozoic layer of hardened ooze turning into amber...62 years of accumulated goop.
We have rain in the forecast every two or three days. Not sure when those garden hills are going to get done. I really don't need hills for onions but the plan is to have the garden all run in rows in one direction, with a clear path up the middle for golf carts/UTV and carts for picking the tons of vegetables. :shocked: This is such a who knows, no idea if things will grow. I mean melons from Afghanistan and Iraq; they should feel right at home here, right?
Got my invite to the local Garden Club meeting this coming week. Apparently about 40-45 members show up for monthly meetings, sounds good.
Special speaker at next meeting giving talks on trip to France and gardens there. Since the speaker is a Franco-phile, I'm taking a small container of Zebrune Shallots seedlings as a thank you gift. What French person wouldn't want to make onion soup out of real French onions...
They say the flu is at its worst right now. I know it's basically antisocial but for sickness am glad I live alone and not near kids. I'll be wiping that push cart handle at the supermarket today and first thing I do coming in the door is wash my hands. So far no flu in about ten years. What some of you are getting sounds awful, particularly for kids. Hope you all feel better soon. Lots of ice cream for sick kids and their parents.
. New decals too?
