    planted a few more things in the greenhouse, mulched a small portion of a bed for tomatoes with the comfrey, rabbit poop, clover and alfalfa pellets. the tomatoes did not grow well there last year. hopefully this year they will do better.

    I can't even begin to tell you all how tired i am at times....lol. Between the heat and planting, i'm exhausted by 11 a.m. Yes i said 11 a.m. I go at it pretty early before that heat sets in at 10ish.
    I do have a question though..is it too late to plant potatoes? Think i'll drop a couple in a pot and see for myself..hehe.

    @carolyn oh no this is a grass snake. It has a disguise that makes it look like a poisonous snake.

    Odif, around here the only think that is poisonous is the copperhead snake and I have never seen one except at a nature museum. they look very similar to that except in a brown camouflage pattern. they blend right in with leaves. they have triangular shaped heads. our non poisonous snakes generally have oval shaped heads. here is a great info page on them.

    @Logan, great looking rhubarb stalks. My rhubarb has not come up yet. I suspect it has bit the dust (actually mud, we are having a super rainy season). I don't know how in the world I have managed to kill it. I thought rhubarb was indestructible!
