    Things are popping up and it's all freaking me out. I keep going back over the old posts to see what to do next.:)

    They are all still there, so I will just follow along until I run out of advice:)

    Thanks:D

    I cut back a lot of stuff today, since we shouldn't have any more frost or cold. Things are looking good.:) I also planted some bulbs that I had in the fridge.
    Crazy Girl Scouts came by and forced me to buy cookies:eek:

    A random Palm tree cutting man and his son came by yesterday drumming up business, so we had them trim 4 of our trees for a great price.
    It was very scary watching the young son swaying at the top of our trees, but he looked like he was having fun. We won't have to do them again for a couple years.

    A storm is coming in today, so no need to water. Hopefully nothing will get broken again.:)

    My plants in the kitchen are doing good. The cilantro never came up, but I can live with that.:rolleyes:
    I took the tin foil off today for a week and if I remember I will turn the heating pad off next week for a week, starting to get them ready to go outside.
    I sowed some lettuce, beets and dill out in the beds on Sunday... lets see what happens.
    As soon as my inside ones are out, I will be moving the light and stuff to the garage to start some Walla Wallas.:)

    It's lonely on this thread now.:(

    Love the double rainbow!

    Wonderful the way both pics seem to be one and it feels like you are actually looking out a window above your houseplants. :D

    It's going to be in the 70's all this week, so all plants go outside in the shade during the day and back inside at night.

    If the weather will cooperate I will be putting them in the ground around the first day of spring.:confused: Very scary since I have put in this much effort. I'm afraid they are just going to wilt and die. I have been saving 2 liter pop bottles for them, in case it gets cold at night I can just pop a pop bottle over them for protection. :D but then I have to remember to take it off in the morning or they will burn up.

    In the waiting time... I am pulling most all of my weeds and getting the sprinklers and drip systems working good.

    My killer Pampas Grass is almost completely out. I can't wait to be able to use that area with out wearing a suit of armor, but then of course I'll have to plant something in it's place:rolleyes::)

    I have all my plants planted and ended up with 17 tomato plants.:eek: Spread all over in various places, Big Boy, Super Beefsteak, Summer Salsa 'roma' and Cherry. A variety of Bell peppers, Beets, Lettuce, Cilantro, Basil, Italian Parsley, Dill, Red Onions, Yellow Onions and Walla Walla, and Green beans. My Tarragon, chives, thyme, Rosemary, Oregano and lemon grass are still hardy. I need some Sage.
    Covered most with bird netting and so far I have had no problems with the crazy Squirrels (thanks binx:)) and I sprinkled ground up peppers all over the dirt to keep the ants away from the lettuce.
    I'll post a couple pictures when I get home.

    Thanks!

    Everything is doing great, but my husband went to Disney Land and lost my camera (for the second time) I will not be lending another camera to him any time soon, of course first I have to buy one:rolleyes:
    So no pictures, until I learn how to use his camera, plus all the pictures I took before are being enjoyed by some low life camera thief:mad:
