This morning while buying groceries, also called "making groceries" around here, I have no idea why, I picked up a bit of ginger root to try and sprout. From what I've read it shouldn't be that damned hard.
Almost forgot, last night a lady was thinking about buying a miniature rose but said she has no green thumb. She was talking to Ron who is not real clever on any subject and our young fella whose name I haven't yet taken time to learn. Anyway, I instructed her on how to finger test the soil for moisture, to put it a sunny window, etc before I noticed the little tab of instructions. She seemed most impressed that everything I sad was on the tab... Hell yeah!
Meanwhile I've started a few cups of lemon, apple & avocado seeds. The lemons & apples will hopefully go in the orchard and the avocados will be put up for sale once well established.
I don't spend much time at the old family homestead in Kilmichael but both my brothers seem enamored with the place. My older brother is having even more health issues than I am so I'll ask my younger for a favor. That being: search out some persimmon and sassafras trees and huckleberry bushes.
