Went to bed for real about 0900 and woke up feeling fully refreshed at 1130. I thought it was at least mid afternoon.

Oh well. Back to work. I think my 3 week vacation where for most of it I was sleeping 11-7 every night and being active during the day is more to blame. I need to get off nightshift, but I hate working dayshift still a little more than I hate living nightshift. 😣

I vote tomatoes. In a few months they will provide some fruits for your labor. Taxes just suck out fruits of your labor.

And where HD lives, there is no shortage of fruits to suck.

I’ve got tomatillo and pepper seeds from last years crop in the ground but no action yet.

Cherry and apple trees are blooming.

Post 411.

Area code 412 is a telephone area code in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The numbering plan area (NPA) comprises the city of Pittsburgh, most of surrounding Allegheny County, and small portions of Washington and Westmoreland counties. The area code was one of the original North American area codes created in 1947, when it was assigned to the entire southwestern corner of the state.

One thing I miss from house dwelling to apartment dwelling is having a garden. Our apt place has some raised bed garden plots in the green space out by the pool (only like 5x10 ft plots) but last year they were all spoken for. Some people did veggies but most were flowers and herbs. Looking at them, the soil looks rather anemic since they don't get the proper organic material mulched in year after year.

That said there's huge mound of grass clippings and leaves behind the fence by the pool shed where the landscapers dump stuff. Bottom layer is nice black compost. (don't know why folks don't see this black gold and use it)

Another bunch of folks on the first floor (where I'm stationed) do container gardening and they do pretty well. There's a couple apartments down the row that are occupied by some old folks that do a lush flower and herb display outside their place. I'm told they do it every year. Might have to introduce myself and get some tips from them.

I'd like to do at least do some herbs, peppers, pole beans and maybe tomatoes (not a big tomato fan but the are easy to grow). Maybe buy a couple of those half barrel oak planters and some other planters for container gardening this year

I have hip replacement scheduled for June 6th so container gardening is all I'm gonna get this year,luckily I have a huge compost pile from the last two years ,tomatoes peppers,squash and .maybe a half dozen okra stalks.Still better than 2020 and 21............no garden at all due to heart surgery recovery.I have 16'x24' garden plot out by the water well just sitting out another year I'll till it a few times throughout the year because 2023 is gonna be different.............I hope and pray

And we’ll do a pre-kickoff with a helluva herf in Vegas in October? 🇨🇮

Morning, peoples
