Potatoes & Parsnips

looks like you will have a good crop,Paul..:o)

Thanks, I'm hoping so. Looking forward to them

Nothing beats the taste of home grown,Paul..I miss growing my own,but not enough space now..all filled with plants :o)

That's for sure Sandra, I wish I could send you some from my garden. I have 3 kinds of potatoes, carrots, beets, parsnips, onions. Nothing beats a beef stew made with fresh garden veggies. Except yesterday, I brought my tomato plants outside to plant and a huge wind came up out of nowhere and snapped my tomatoes now I grieve their loss. I'll just have to buy replacements from the garden center, but those I've nurtured from seeds and they were heirlooms. Oh well, life goes on...:)

Oh dear,Paul,isn't it so maddening when that happens? I would have been using some strong language,I think.It's worse when you have nurtured them from seed for so long too..You will soon forget,when you buy some more :o)

Yes, of course, that's life. It's funny how the weather here is still very unsettled. Instead of snow, we are now getting what feels like mini cyclones - brief and violent.

It has been so warm for the past few days,Paul..a very pleasant surprise..It really is time your weather settled down now,isn't it? I've just finished planting everything out over the past three days..just nice and steady.I haven't bought any new plants yet,as they are mostly all the overwintered Fuchsias and Pelargoniums..and things grown from seed..All well hardened off,over the past week or so..I need to buy trailing ones for the pots now..and maybe treat myself to a few others..why not indeed ? Lol.

wow, you've been busy. oh the joys of gardening.

I have Paul,but like most of us,we don't consider it to be a chore..:o)..Housework is a chore :o)
