Return to Gardening!

He could always plow in S. America during our summer.

well, we can leave all the grass in menasha for him!!!

I like grass! You need some open areas.

I'd heard that about you Al!

You can still have open without turf grass.

yes... and less grass ... less japanese beatles ( I hope)

I'll return to gardening was this dang-blasted snow melts again.

i'll return to gardening if i survive the opening of this show. i am so worried about this one.
stressed and depressed.

I hear Al's Menasha grass is something special.

i think i could use some of that today.

I don't think that's the kind of grass Al grows but who knows? Have to watch out for the quiet ones.

lol you guys are funny. I wish the ground would defrost and stay defrosted. Soon I hope. Next week looks warm but wet. So we will go from too frozen to plant to too wet to plant. Just a one week window of warm sunny weather to transplant my DL is all I want right now, that's not asking a lot is it?

Boston's (Ch. 5) 5-day forecast shows 65 for Tuesday, April 1st. I wonder if that's supposed to be an April Fool's Joke?

We are supposed to have a 60-plus degree day too- but with rain.

hey! Wait a minute! Did Pirl just refer to Al as a "quiet one"?????

She did, she did!

I did!

Al is quietly loud.

Maybe he's plowed himself under the snow.

Snow is almost gone. Some in the forecast this week - hope it misses.

I hope it misses you, too, Al.

amethystsm ~ everything will be alright once it's over. I'm sending positive vibes your way.

Sue, since when does Ch. 5 have Saturday news? There could be a meteor headed for Earth and all they'd have on is sports and infomercials!!!
For everyone that doesn't get ch. 5, we have a weatherman named Dickie. Now we have a Harvey, too, and Al Wankum. Good weathermen have to have a huge Geek factor to warrant respect. That, and knit vests to wear on stormy days.
It perfectly well could be 65 Tues. Then it could be -20 on Wed.!

I'll refrain from commenting on those names.

Good boy, Victor!

Cool thread.......fun to see who is getting out there and starting the garden engines!!

Guess who's leading the family March Madness pool????? Tee hee....it drives them wild.....all the guys played sports and I often win the pool. They get all upset that I make my picks in just a few seconds.......OH, LOL!!! I lived in NC for 10 years and followed BBall a lot there........Davidson was tenacious even then and UNC was hard to stop. Duke was a disappointment. I like their coach.

Victor - big time admiration for your self-control.

Jax we do ch. 4 here with old Mr Burbank in the am. He has been doing the weather there for 30 years. You have to be pretty good in the northeast, with the "change every ten minutes" weather we have. Not like some places that they could record the weather once and still be right every day. Aggravating the way the weather changes so much in the spring but it sure isn't boring. :)

Here to say hi to everone, eyes are still not good enough to post a lot sorry to say.

Have not done anything so far in the garden too cold and windy for my old bones, spring always seem to take a long time to get here when suddenly it is summer.

Have you noticed Google is showing up in black for Earth
Day?...Maria

Hi Maria!! Nice to see you posting. Too windy here too.

Hi Maria!!

Hi Maria!!
I didn't notice Google today. I'll have to go see.

Good to see you again, Maria. It was too windy out, here, to work outside today.

Sheesh, meant to say earth DAY, lol, but I do thank you for your nice responds, this is always very appreciated.

Hi Maria!!

Maybe it was for earth hour, when we were all supposed to turn off the lights for an hour at 8pm. Couldn't convince the director that it was a solution to lighting the show though - owell.

You were right, Amy. It was for Earth Hour.

Funny thing. I was very tired yesterday after a busy day with the family. We all turned out the lights for Earth Hour. I fell to sleep!! Good thing I was already in my jammies and ready for bed anyway!

Thought you all might get a kick out of that.

I forgot about it by night time! I was busy on the 'puter creating a notebook about trees for Arbor Day (4.25).

Looks like they have a great start.
Aren't you the proud 'mommy'?
