I really have this thing for tulips........I don't have any planted in my yard. Actually, my gardening consists of flowers in pots, and herbs in pots on my deck. When I was little my parents had a large garden. They grew tomatoes, green beans, peppers, beets, kale, asparagus, lettuce, green onions, raspberries, strawberries and other things I can't remember. At the end of the season they would can all these things. Also they would buy apples, peaches, pears, and more tomatoes and we would spend hours canning.
I do not do any canning. I spent enough time preparing these things when I was a kid, my sisters who never had to do this, have large gardens and can their bounty. I would rather blanch and freeze.
Today was very hectic. The surgeon I worked with started at 06:45, that means I had to be there by 05:30 to get things ready for the early start. I would have rathered had the 30 minutes more sleep. He gets out sooner but I don't. I would like to know where do all these people come from. I would have thought everyone in Western PA would have had their gall bladder removed by now.
I only work 8 hours tomorrow as opposed to the 11 today. I am glad I am on the retirement track....I would have been retired by now except for the health insurance issue. People who work in Health care are not provided with health insurance when they retire................

Thanks for visiting my journal! I too have my bulbs in pots. They are still put away in my shed b/c it is too cold to get them out yet, they will die. I got the same idea. I am going to grow some herbs. Should I get them planted already? Or will they die in the cold? Maybe I should start planting the seeds inside now? And what kind? I am such a novice, LOL. I would appreciate any ideas you have! When we were little we had big gardens too. Especially tomato plants.
