…protecting Neo-Tokyo
Och, I canna keep up wit’ me Cannas!
Well, actually, Scottish accents aside, I can keep up with them, but it ain’t easy.
Ya see, 4 years ago, I planted five Dwarf Pink Cannas. Beautiful pink flowers, compact 2-3 foot size, hardy as all hell, long blooming season…and fucking incredibly prolific. Those 5 cannas have spread to at least 50. I’ve been digging up canna tubers for two day (so I can move them to a better spot where they won’t crowd out/shade other plants) and I’ve got a whole garden cart full of them. I’m gonna replant them in several different spots around the property…might even try them in a pot or two.
And then I have a couple dozen larger species of cannas to move! I get all the fun:)
Veggiewise, I’ve got beans, tomatos & squash growing pretty well now. Later today, I’ll start a bunch more seeds of various types. Herbwise, I’m looking good, with the exceptions of french tarragon, which hasn’t shown up in the nurseries yet.
With any luck, by next Sunday, I’ll have a 4′ X 16′ veggie & flower bed taking up just shy of half of my driveway. With only one car, it’s pretty much wasted space, and I’ve got a dozen more bush beans sprouting and zinnias, cosmos and geraniums on the way. Besides, it’ll make our Nosey Old Neighbor Lady wonder what the hell we’ll do next:)

Grace is sleeping in this morning, as is her hard earned Mother’s Day right. Later, I shall cook her a yummy dinner.
I’ve decided to dive into the Pro Game Writing pool yet again. I won’t reveal which of my countless ideas I’m working on, but odds are very good it’ll be sold in the popular PDF format beloved by so many of today’s hip young gaming geeks. Most of my ideas are just a tad too short or a tad too niche to be worth killing trees over. Besides, with PDFs, the author generally gets a bigger piece of the action and I am a dedicated fan of money.
My knee is feeling much better, altho it does ache rather often and both knees make a sqeam inducing noise when I bend them. Yeah baby, I’ll be first in line when they start offering cyborg bodies.
And now, I must finish my tea and return to my crazed horticultural endeavors.
