On The Road

Its been awhile I know since i have posted , busy since Christmas and Cataract surgery was somewhat of a success... and I have ohh so wanted to drive my car but she is going thru fine tuning now and should be ready for her first test drive since the overhaul as soon as this Ohio weather allows.   No more tapping sounds under the hood.

More power

While most of us are dealing with the heat, decided to tackle a project that has been sitting in the garage and sooo it all started last Saturday, my collector is in a million pieces waiting for the camera to tell us the news. (not good) . For the car buffs all the bearings are shot and all i wanted was to give her some more power, well she will still be getting a facelift so to speak, but it will take longer than expected.

I was planning on going to a car show coming up this weekend and only a small facelift. (not)

And so we will be replacing the cam and the bearings and the lifters and whatever else comes up in the overhaul (facelift). maybe if anyone wants to make donations i could just buy a new engine. (j/k)

Less Visits To The Nurseries (Part 2)

Soooo instead of wasting gas, time at the nurseries, etc. usually spending my time preparing these little things we call SEEDS beginning late summer to early fall collecting and waiting for the weather in the early spring to grow my own, some of us may not realize that maybe a few dollars you spend at the nursery is in the pod instead of a packet.

So give it your best shot and let me know if it works for you

Less Visits to the Nurseries

we all do this every year or i should say most of us do. Return for the same type of annual and spending when not really a need be thing. I was visiting the nurseries quite often until i found the annuals i do best with, even though i really like the yellow boys best. I havent tried yet but i know it is going to be turning cold very soon but just preparing for next year's season of growing and of course the easiest ever (Dwarf Marigolds).

Addition to The Portable Vegetable Garden

Gosh I need my eyes checked or they came out overnight but the Pepper plant is alive and well as i went out to the deck this morning found ONE pepper and as you can see (how could i have missed it) pretty large already.
