Gardening, Puttering and Adventure Thread, Jan. 20![]() Happy Saturday, everyone! Are you venturing outdoors today? It's been raining a little here, after some frosty mornings. But not frosty like in SOME places. Above, one of several lovely frost photos by Don in Kansas. It was ten below when I got up this morning. This was the view at the front door. A real variety of photos at the link above. If they make you cold, he also has a link to some interesting information on volcanoes. ![]()
I should have sent this earlier in the week; picked the big eggplant before the freeze, and all the rest afterward when the plants froze. Pulling everything out and mulching through the Sun Joe chipper, to put trimmings and pruning back around the plants for mulch and protection. Ready to start seedlings for spring planting soon in AZ (indoors). Nan in AZ ![]() ![]()
So do the other veggies! Let us know if the frost hurt them. Catalogs of the Week Bluestone Perennials This is Echinacea 'Giddy Pink'. New. ![]() How about some Hydrangeas? They don't seem to be offering this one currently, but I like it: ![]()
Pinetree Garden Seeds has its guide to winter sowingon its blog page. There's also a pumpkin bread recipe. Moist, balanced and buttery. Art Navel oranges are on here. We are between peak seasons for local mandarin varieties. Rafael Romero Barros (Spanish, 1832 - 1895) "Still Life with Oranges", 1863. Oil on Canvas, 68 x 54 cm. Museo de Bellas Artes de Cordoba, Spain. ![]() Ah, Nature From the North Ogden Museum, Utah: In 1920, the men hitched three teams of horses to a V-shaped wooden plow to clear the streets in North Ogden. The plow was about 17 feet wide. Some streets were left snowy for sledding. ![]() Puttering Beekeeping
Gardens of The Horde ![]() Frost Fairies ![]() ![]() I've never seen one of these in real life. Fascinating. Must be a nice surprise to see hundreds of them! Hope everyone has a nice weekend.

Week in Review What has changed since last week's thread? Gardening, Puttering and Adventure Thread, Jan. 13 Any thoughts or questions? I closed the comments on this post so you wouldn't get banned for commenting on a week-old post, but don't try it anyway. In the comments, Notsothoreau wrote at 1:33 I bought some self watering pots for African violets. It's an outside glazed pot and a inner pot with an unglazed bottom. You plant in that and put water in the outside pot. Not cheap but my plants have struggled since the move. They seem to be doing better now. Interesting. Maybe Notsothoreau will be able to take some cuttings soon:
