Oh! I see. That's a neat idea. I've got some glass you can have.

Mr. 2 just got back from his first visit to the garden. A miracle happened - there's no sod. All the grass that grew dried out and died.
Also, parsley is coming up.

thank you girl. I'll be there tomorrow.  LOL What do you mean the grass dried out and died. is that a joke??

Supposed to have a major storm sweep in tomorrow afternoon.

It's 38 right now. Tomorrow this time, the mercury will be in free-fall.

No idea what the snow accumulation will be. They're saying over 18 inches in the mountains, but that's just a normal storm. Here? Anyone's guess.

Four more weeks. Four more weeks.

No, not at all a joke.  At season's end, my husband lets the garden go fallow.  Usually, grass will grow, and create sod w/very deep roots.  Therefore, we have to turn the garden, shovelful by shovelful, shaking out the dirt of each clod, tossing the clods into the wheelbarrow as we go, then haul them off.
THIS year, the grass dried and died.  That means, all we need do is go in the w/the tiller, rather than turning the top first.  It'll be ever so much easier.

AWESOME @2cent  what a blessing.    Here's what I do with my two little beds.    Close to house for quick harvesting for salads and side dishes.   One is my strawberry bed....that has NO strawberries.  Got tired of fighting with the squirrel and deer for the little sweeties soooooo. That's now my pepper bed...which i have to be johnny on the spot and harvest before the deer get them.  so far, so good. and fencing helps too. plus a daily dose of eight.

the second is my grape arbor bed that is actually beside the grape arbor... that's my tomato bed and sometimes squash or something else.   What i'm geting at is that i cover botgh those beds with cardboard over the winter...and remarkably have fewer weeds the next summer.   These are small gardens so doing that to a larger garden would probably not work.     So far so good for me...and i do supplement the soil before AND after.

Thanks, @Calypso Jones. I like your SOP. Our garden has gotten so small that covering it might just work.

What do you mean by, "a daily dose of eight?" fertilizer, bug killer, or something? I bet you have better luck w/peppers than we do. Don't they seem to take for-ev-er to grow? Still worth it, though. What kind do you grow? We go for California Wonders, if we can find them.

You're trying to harvest peppers, or strawberries.

Why don't you, instead, harvest a deer or two? Meat for many months.

Never saw the weather change so fast in this area.

At 2 pm, it was 45 degrees and almost-sunshine. Yeah, the winter-storm warning remained up.

I figured it was a good day to take care of some errands. Fired the truck up; I like to let it warm up before heading out. Because the engine races until it gets to operating temperature - emissions crap.

In FIFTEEN MINUTES, the temperature fell 15 degrees. Wind picked up. And about five minutes later, we were in a blizzard, just as I'm aiming down the main drag. Snow's falling, melting on the pavement, which was still warm, and then the melt freezing in the windy air. So it was glare ice.

Four-wheel-drive helps a little. So does caution.

Yup, I got it done. Supplements I need, now...now that I depend on Alternative Medicine. Because now, the Woketard physicians, and that is all of them, are RECORDING, in their code system (supposedly used for billing) one's Jab Status.

Why? Because government orders it and pays them. Started in January, after six months of training.

They are recording who are the Refusniks. To watch, as they would subversives. If they CARED about subversives.

So...I'm done with them, until they regain their sanity.

I have to use alternatives to metformin, now. I've got one test report on file, that suggests berberine is as effective as metformin. My weight loss will help, too.

What a hell of a way to live.

Maybe you can build a squirrel trap.

@Casey Jones, not trying to give you a hard time, seriously trying to understand where you're coming from/what you're saying here.

Are you saying that you can't get medical care without having had the C-jab? That's just completely insane. As you know, I've relatively recently, over the last year or so, had no choice, but to get med care from gov-funded docs.

Not ONE, aside from asking at the onset of COVID in the vestibule to a medical building housing many doctors, questioned my vax status past that point. The doc(s) simply addressed my medical situation. Same goes for my husband. Whether or not you had the jab was irrelevant. Somebody, whoever whom, may have been taking a survey of the individuals entering the building, but 'the need to know' ended there at the door.

So please, tell me, have you been denied services, unless willing to prove that you've been vaccinated? Again, not trying to just give you a hard time. I sincerely would like to know if that's the case.
