Wednesday, April 1 View Page Hey, um, its snowing and you forgot to get seeds out of me...   Thursday, April 2 View Page Ummm, its still snowing...   Thursday, April 2 View Page Hellooooo.....   Thursday, April 2 View Page Well see if I give them any seeds, stupid grower.   Thursday, April 2 View Page And the peanut gallery watched in dispair as the pumpkin disappeared from sight. (oh and 10 years from now won't the peanut gallery be mad we put this picture in the diary)   Thursday, April 2 View Page As you guessed, Julie and I are starting our diary. Its a beautiful thing when you get a real live snowstorm in Oregon. We are taking it as a sign....   Thursday, April 2 View Page No Hester, not that sign.   Thursday, April 2 View Page We began early by hiring the hitmen to get rid of the rodents... This one we call TwoTone   Thursday, April 2 View Page This is the Godmother   Thursday, April 2 View Page This is Blade...   Thursday, April 2 View Page And the ringleader, Smiles   Thursday, April 2 View Page After the snow came the twister. Or well it rained a lot. We almost kind of sorta had a thunderstormish thing one day.   Thursday, April 2 View Page We started making the two large cloches for the early plants in March. Nice 8' x 12' footers. If they survive the wind, it would be nice.   Thursday, April 2 View Page One done.   Thursday, April 2 View Page Two done and in the patch minus plastic.   Thursday, April 2 View Page We started the early plants in late March... This fine young baby is the 848 Mackenzie squash, oh and this is "Hers"   Thursday, April 2 View Page You guessed it, this is "His" Will these early plants make it is the question. Oh this is also an 848 Mackenzie. The 900 Lyons germinated, but is suffering from 'I don't really want to grow cause I am too darn old' blues.   Thursday, April 2 View Page Blade took care of this beasty...Smiles watched intently as he ate his fourth bowl of the cats food when nobody was looking.   Thursday, April 2 View Page One of our early cloches, "Hers" got frosted pretty bad, may not pull through. So she planted a 953 Hester and a 684 Hester as backups.
