Tulips and Daffodils. 4.16.22

There hasn't been much to show, due to bad weather. That spell seems to be ending and we are back to Spring. It's nice to have some color.

Snow! 4.11.22

Still falling hard at 7:20 am. Quite a snow fall. Quiet and peaceful now.
Somehow I don't think I'll be digging in the dirt this morning LOL.

That Poor Hen! 4.11.22

The green-ish eggs are duck eggs, which are like jumbo sized chicken eggs.

Growing Ginger From A Grocery Ginger Root. 4.10.22

During the Winter I cut a swelling bud from a grocery store ginger root. I planted it in seed starting medium.  Last week I transplanted it into potting soil.  Growth is pretty nice so far.  Each leaf is larger than the last.

I think this will always be in a container.  Ginger is tropical.  From what I read, we might have usable ginger by late fall.

Transplanting A Climbing Rose that I Grew from a Cutting Last Year. 4.10.22

Last year I started this climbing rose from a dormant pruning.    I didn't expect it to grow so well.  It was in a bad location so I moved it.  Since we are still in early Spring, I think it should settle in OK.


This rose is a pink-ish color, sort of peachy.  I don't know the name.  I pruned back about half of the top growth, to compensate for root loss.
