…biker, that is
Howdy, boys and girls! Your Uncle Doc has been slightly cranky lately, mostly because my left knee has been hurting and I’ve had to sit and rest it. That means no nightly walks and no gardening…hence the crankiness. However, due to the resting and the 4,931 assorted vitamins, minerals, herbs, supplements and other pills Grace has me taking twice a day, my poor old knee is feeling a bit better. I may even attempt a short walk tonight.
In other news, round 2 of the tomato planting seems to be doing better that round 1 did. The new plants all seem to be healthy. My bush beans and squash look ok…my basil, dill and other herbs are growing like mad…and I have several pole bean plants sprouting up from beans that hit the ground LAST year. This weekend, I’m gonna get things ready to plant melons and zucchini. Chiles will also get planted.
Florally, I’ve got blooms all over the place, with lots more on the way. Unfortunately, my venerable old Liontail shrub seems to be dying. This sucks, but it will still serve as a place for my clematis to climb in and around this spring/summer. I have another Liontail and it is doing great, but my old one was one of my first foundation plants and I’ll miss it’s hordes of orange blooms.
Saturday will see Grace and I attending the WHOLE EARTH FESTIVAL at U.C. Davis. We go almost every year and it is tons of hippie dippy-alternative energy-world music-artsy craftsy tye dyed fun. I expect I’ll buy a couple more tye dyed bandanas this year:)
And now, I’m off to work. More blogzilla later.
