Lisa brought this bouquet of roses and another interesting plant.

Richard bought this smoothie blender for Carol for her birthday.  It has a pair of small suction feet to keep it stable.  I cut a circle out of poster board.  It has to be moved to different places.  It is now easy to slide.  

This the bottom of 1206 tray shows a six pack growing roots.  I hope to transplant them into 3.5 inch square pot.  Right now I have thirty of them.

Robert and Jeanne and have been in St. George.  They stopped here for a short visit.

Unexpected Trip

Before breakfast I checked on the earwig traps west of the driveway.  The first one had about eight earwigs.  The other one had none.  A little disapointed.   As soon as breakfast was over, I checked out the garden and picked a handful of pole beans.  I have a pretty large bag of them in the fridge.  Next I put examine gloves on my hands and rubbed round-up on some grass growing in the kidney.

I Carol was putting a puzzle together with her focus on the puzzle.  I met Robert at the back door.  We walked in and Carol didn't look up.  She looked up and was surprised even as I was that Robert came.  He invited me to go with him on a plant collection drive on the mountains east of Fillmore.  I watered the plants in house two and were on our way.

 I didn't take any pictures on the way up to the tops of the mountains.  We saw snow and I took a few pictures of the snow.

We stopped at one place where there were lots of rocks at the edge of the road.  Robert noticed an unusual plant.  He wanted to dig it up and put it in his collection.  He had a hard time climbing it.  The rocks slide down some,  He said that it was two steps up and one step down.

There was a huge limber pine tree that had died and the top broke off.

Robert took a lot of photos of the plants collected.  Some before and some after collections.

At the back of his work car, he presses the plants.  He collected over thirty different plants.  Some that haven't been collected in that location.

The sere several snow drifts that hadn't melted.

I put together a mix of vegetable oil and    The photo is west of the driveway.

This fuzzy picture is in house six.  The are thousands of earwigs there if not tens of thousands.

Another Saturday: Robert & His Friends

Joe and his granddaughter harvesting greens. They have been growing for about six weeks.  Joe his holding the zip bag open. 

Robert doing some of the last minute transplanting. There are a lot of tiny plants which are greens.  Greens are the salad type plants. 

Frank has done a lot of work, but can't be on his feet very long. Here he is resting.  He filled the four inch pots for the geraniums, some of the jumbo 606's, and seventeen inch square jumbos.

Here are germination trays. Some I did yesterday and others that Robert did today.  The plastic box that is upside down is covering the heating controls for three heating mats.

Here is the things that were transplanted today.  Some are tomatoes and peppers.  Others are greens.

The are some tomato plants that were quite large.  They are in the jumbo 606.

These tomato plants were planted early in January.  I put them in #5 pots this afternoon.  The photo is fuzzy which I will replace.  The pots which contain small boards were planted last fall and put into house two and started to produce some good tomatoes.  Most of the plants died and the tomatoes cracked which allowed Botrytis to invade.  I started reusing the pots and finished with new pots which would be free from pathogens.

Frank filled the four inch pots and I stuck the geraniums in them .  There are nearly 200 pots.  Some of them will be presented to the mothers on mother's. day.

House six is pretty much cleaned out.  The pallets at the back are gone.  Planting on the left is doing well.  More planting to come on the right
