It is suppose to snow today where I am, it's cold here, the other day it was in the 60°F. I invested in an Aerogarden, found one cheap on close out at my local grocery store. So far for me it has works surprisingly well. I have some lettuce growing in it as well as chive and mint, and I can get a salad out of it each day.

I am going to order a rose that I have wanted for the last 5 years and never could justify the expense.  Dag nab it.  I am going to DO IT.   I swear.  I am committing myself on this post. I am tired of looking at that catalog every year and fantasizing about that rose. 

I am also going to spring clean my house.  Top to bottom. 

I may plant a paw paw tree. 

My plum trees have taken off.  I have an entire orchard now and this May/June, it should be exciiting.  These are a native plum that is very sweet, no fertilizers or insecticides are required.  My dog loves them.  My new baby trees produced nice plums last year.  They should produce more this year.  My cat Magellan loves to climb the larger trees and shake the plumbs down for the dog.  The dog will be in heaven this year.

That sounds interesteing. I've seen them on TV. Do you think you'll be using it longterm?

I am hoping to use it long term. But I have very mixed feelings when I come to this. There is a part of me that has an issue of paying $20.00 for what amounts to seven seeds, okay so I got mine at close out, and paid half of that, I still feel as if I got rob. The flip side is I don't have a green thumb, plants die for me.

I'm about seven weeks into it now, and it is still alive! Not only is it alive but in my opinion it is thriving, and I've paid far more for seedlings that have died on me. I guess in the end it is something I need to get use to?

Here is appy20's link in a clickable form, >  Black Magic™: Hybrid Tea Rose < that is a very beautiful rose in my opinion.
