I took a few photos the other day in the garden in case I wanted to use them in a blog post. As of yet I don’t think I have anything specific to write about them so I am just going to post them for no other reason than I have them.
This is my broccoli, which has been slow to get going (much like myself many days this winter) but it is going now nonetheless (also much like myself). Last year was my first year growing broccoli. It is a note my arch-nemesis in the background >=(
My wife’s co-worker gave me FIVE Texas SuperSweet Onion sets. She actually gave them to my wife who gave them to me simply saying, “Polly, gave us some onions.” So having very little experience grown onions from sets, I just thought they were spring onions or something like green onions and ALMOST sliced them up for dinner! Luckily, I was told they were for planting, so… I did! I have tried to grow onions in the past with little to no luck, so we shall we what we shall see with these bad boys. If they take, I will be pretty excited!
The other day I blogged about how I cut down a juniper tree in my frontyard that blocked my sun. So, I saved a slice of wood so I could count the rings (nerdy? perhaps) and do some detective work and see when this tree was planted. I knew my house was built in 1965 so I counted up the rings and lo and behold there were 45 rings. So my guess was the tree was put in by the original owner within the first 1-2 years (figuring they planted a sapling which was around a year old). Thus ends my venture into the realms of dendochronology.
