We have a fig tree and a couple of mulberry trees. Last year we got a ton of fruit from them but with the lack of rain I worry for the berries this spring. My tiny rose bush suffered this winter but I see it making a comeback, new green is emerging. We would like to more fruit trees, a lime and maybe a pear, those do well here. This year for us is going to be full of building privacy fences and working to get rid of weeds, etc. Next year, I hope, we have the yard ready for serious planting.

Idle, we need to go drinking sometime. Preferably a day when Mike has off as well as the following day.

Salty toothpaste...

Must be brushing with baking soda.

It's a good day.

I'd be surprised if we could grow pineapple up here. I did used to have really good luck with roses, though.

Probably one of the few things I'll miss about our old house was all my rose bushes. (Oh well!)

I always wanted to plant an apple tree or a cherry tree. Or a grape vine. (My grandmother used to have one of those at her house. It was fun to pick the grapes and eat them when I was little.)

We're planing on talking to the park manager about trees, because we want a lemon, apple, and orange trees. There is someone that lives here that has a couple of grape vines and some people have turned their entire lot into one huge garden. We got three bulbs of garlic just for planting. Right now, our Mister Lincoln rose bushes are thriving in our clay heavy soil; our blackberries are kinda stunted right now (I hope it doesn't go into shock :( ), and my Valentine's day tulips are not doing so well as they had fallen from where they were hanging.

It's a good day.

Rose bushes can be so pretty. (I particularly love climbing ones.) You planed pineapple? How hard is that to grow?

Idk. But I learned that it will take a couple of years before I can see fruit. In the mean time, we'll buy them at the store and plant the tops. I read that for my climate, they are pretty hardy plants. Up north, you might need to have it in a huge pot. But you just cut the top off with an inch or two of the fruit and plant it straight into the ground and water.

It's a good day.

The sun is out, the snow we have is melting, and hopefully that all means that spring isn't too far away.

I can't wait.

Spring has been here. We already have a couple of rose bushes planted and a blackberry bush. And, on top of that. I planted a pineapple top.

I found this particularly hilarious

They should have gotten her to sing the national anthem at Daytona. Did much better than that crock of shit band.
