Welcome to Gaia! ::

Strawberries and clovers are both super spreaders, right?

Sounds like it would be a fun little plant war to watch whee

There was a seed swap near me today with a free stuff table, so I got some unknown varieties of carrots and chives and onions, plus some eggplant seeds since I think they are pretty but I don't really eat them so I couldn't rationalize buying the seeds. I am sure that if they grow properly I can find someone else at my community garden who wants some. heart

my tiny microgreens are cute and I tried a little one and it is completely flavorless, which sounds bad but at least it isn't unpleasantly flavored!

despite the online community say "don't plant your strawberries with chives, onions etc, all the strawberry plants that I have planted in my garden the only ones that ever do grow well without the aphid ant issue are the ones that are growing around my chinese chives.

@ rilsin-b - I think peas are good for the cold, so you should hopefully get lots of peas. I love fresh peas. So jealous of your mystery seeds!

@ dragon_of_emry - How did you fare with the storm? I've never lived anywhere where there is weather like that, so I hope you're safe!

@ Oriole Lyric - Yay clovers! We had wild strawberries with clover and grass at our last place. I think clovers and strawberries would look really nice.

@ goddess-of-emos - haha! What's the greenhouse like? And what goodies will it hold?

@ Esiris - ! What are you going to do with it?

@ [ t e h d e b b e h ] - Yum! We received a tonne of beets in our local harvest basket. I never really had them baked before - they are delicious in salads.

My cat aggravated his pancreatitis from sneaking kibble from the dogs bowl. So he's back on his herbs. He also might have an a**l gland infection. If he does he'll have to be sedated and have a catheter up his bottom for the antibiotics. If that happens we'll probably schedule to get his teeth done too. So, when he wakes up, he'll be sore at both ends. Poor guy. xd

I was offered the job I wanted! Very happy. It'll allow me to do my studies. I'm having a hard time separating myself from the house to sit down and actually do work. And, I ran into my old boss and his wife in a cafe. He asked me if I was coming back to landscape and I had to tell him about my new job. He took it really well and said that I'm welcome back if it doesn't work. I feel terrible having to break the news to him like that. Eeehh.

I also saw my first two! robins of the season. :3

Dunno where to start so here goes.
Learned the other day that if you ignore your bronchitis for 3 weeks odds are you will end up in urgent care with a 103 degree fever that'll last about 5 day's. Then you get antibiotics that are so strong they make you more sick, miss a bunch of work and all your coworkers think your dead until you show up more than a week later still half sick but fed up with being at home.

Moved some beehives the other day that survived the winter...or more appropriately thrived due to our mild winter, their already making honey which was as cool to find out as was the process of moving them from their old home to their new home nearly 20 miles away. Very earily in the morning we went out to the old field and literally picked up the hives one at a time and stacked them in the truck bed and then strapped them down with ratchet straps before driving to the new field where to our surprise we discovered the white boxes we were carrying were now black and covered in swarms of freshly woken/shaken bee's. Let them settle for a few minutes before picking all the hives up and setting them up on a pallet system to make transportation easier in the future.

other than that not a whole lot going on other than working to get some extra hours to make up for the week i missed.

@piran: the green house is a 4 teir greenhouse and the goodies that go in it are all the veggie plants we grew whee like squash and peppers and tomatos and cucumbers heart and herbs xd .

what i found out to day is i can't have reguler house plants that need water every day cause i forget to water them be cause my brain is stuck in catus mode sweatdrop so i can only have catus crying

I found out that my landlords are going on a year-long trip, so essentially their huge gorgeous garden is mine to play with, minus whatever happens to be perennial.
And there appears to be plenty of shaded areas to plant a ridiculous amount of peas in, hopefully throughout the summer.
I might even have enough to freeze....
