  • When I have a rummage sale it will be to sell some of my husband's tools that he's no longer able to use. All the clothes we don't wear go to Goodwill.

    I like your thinking about buying the shelf pulls to bring in people who really needed things and couldn't afford them. Nice touch👍

    • From a financial standpoint, it was a bust when you figure the cost of the pallet, the shipping of the pallet, all the sorting, marking thru the tags, folding, laying them out and picking them up Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the yard sale, and the time spent each of those days. But we did a good thing and I hope that matters when it REALLY counts.

      • Every good deed doesn't have a financial gain attached to it. I love what y'all did!!

        • I harvested 8 heads of cauliflower, got it all blanched and in the freezer, along with the rest of the turnips. I still have another 6 cauliflower plants growing, plus broccoli, carrots, parsnips, cabbage, onions, and one lonely head of Romaine in the container garden. The bag garden has parsnips, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts, plus the herbs. It will be a while before anything else is ready to harvest, so now I'll work on our tax filing...

          • Nice...Just got some chicken manure from neighbors, so will start tilling in a new in ground garden plot soon. Plan on about two 4'x8' sections with a 18" path in between them. I may do two of these if I have room. The area where we got flooded during the hurricanes, will get pallets and some of the grow bags will go on them. The new garden plot will be on higher ground that did not flood during the hurricanes. I also have an area near our tiny home porch that is about 16' x 2' in an L-shape that will get in ground plots.

            • Sounds like a garden expansion to me! I had no time for the garden today as I was buried in required VA paperwork and filing our taxes. The IRS wouldn't accept our return from the online software due to an error I cannot resolve. It was information directly from our 2021 return (also online and copied/pasted?). I'll mail the return in tomorrow. Otherwise, I did manage to get dinner ready and we had some of that cauliflower I did yesterday; it was perfect!

              • So, was tilling up some small, but new plots and placing pallets where the grow bags will be placed. Was near where some Sweet Potatoes had died with the freeze a few weeks ago and came up with about 3 lbs of potatoes. Most were small, but some were quite a good size. So, placed them in my indoor cellar to rest for a few weeks. Still have indoor peppers and believe it or not the outdoor ones are still producing. They are pretty hardy plants...

                • Sweet potatoes over-winter quite well, and it's not unusual to find some hiding under the soil. Peppers? Outdoors in Feb? Good job!

                  I'm still (im)patiently waiting for my cabbages to get big enough to harvest. The carrot and parsnip tops are so big they're threatening to collapse under their own weight - shouldn't be long before I can pull those!

                  • No gardening for me for a couple of days; after spending all day on my feet at the VA, my PF has me sitting with my feet up. Hopefully by tomorrow I can get back out there and start shoveling some dirt to get the containers moved to their new home. It's time to plant for my spring garden!

                    • No gardening, but I had 3/4 of a bag of potatoes that needed to get used up. I sliced, blanched, and laid them out on dehydrator trays. They should be done in a couple of hours. The new 2 gallon gas cans showed up and I stashed them in the back of my car for tomorrow's gas station trip. The transfer pump also came, along with a box of batteries, so I can use the 5 gallon cans to fill the mower, small generator, etc. After the gas run, I'll get some seeds in. I'll do some seed starter pots, and plant some seeds in grow bags. It's that time of the year!

                      • I filled up 2 of the 2-gallon gas cans and my car. I got the herbs transplanted into seven 5-gal grow bags, then put in seeds for 4 Beefsteak, 2 Roma, and 4 Rutgers tomatoes, and 6 Bell and 3 jalapeno peppers (10th slot still has a lavender that just sprouted). I folded up the frost blanket from the bag garden and put it away for next year. Tomorrow I'll plant some beets, bunching onions, and radishes, and start seed pots for a variety of squash. Lots to get started after that. Other than getting estimates for new gates and fencing, and an oil change, my time will pretty much be my own.

                          • A house I used to own had a septic tank that failed every February because the pipe wasn't buried deep enough and it froze. Crappy job indeed😉

                            Another fence contractor came by this morning so I got a bit of a late start. I took the greenhouse cover off, took it to the garden shed, and swept the leaves out. I planted a 10-gallon grow bag with some bunching onions, then put in seed starter pots with miscellaneous vegetables: beets, Chinese cabbage, straight-neck squash, zucchini, eggplant, cauliflower (never enough), broccoli, red bell peppers, and cucumbers. I have 18 pots left to plant, plus lots and lots of grow bags. I'm gradually pulling out the overgrown (flowering) broccoli from the grow bags so I can add some fertilizer and soil, and plant more vegetables. I have another head of cauliflower that was ready for blanching, so I tied it up. I still have a few smaller cauliflower plants, and I moved them to the front and out of the shade of the larger plants so they will start to head. I'm doing fewer of each kind of vegetable so we can have a better variety. In March I'll start another batch of tomatoes so I don't have everything ripe at the same time! Once I get the bag garden straightened out, it's time to start shoveling dirt out of the empty containers so I can move them.

                            • Today I tore out the old flowering broccoli plants and arranged the remaining grow bags for optimum watering. The leaf blower was great for blowing all the neighbor's water oak leaves into one corner, along with any spilled potting soil from my debagging operation. There's not a lot growing in the bag garden right now, but that is the spot for my new seedlings once they sprout. I have a lot of empty grow bags. The far side of the bag garden is where the containers will be moved to.

                              • Should be finishing up my septic situation by Friday. Longest part is just letting concrete setting.

                                Hope to start in ground and grow bag planting next week...
