🌱 Puttered around in the greenhouse today, mostly trimming, and tidying. Oxalis is such a bully but it's so sweet and delicate looking, I can't bring myself to eradicating it completely. Had a wee pink surprise & brought a few daffodils inside.

🌱While down a bloomscroll rabbit hole, I watched a reel on a new (to me) way to start a pineapple top. After leaf trim, cut in 1/4s length wise. Scab over, set in soil with cover for humidity. Supposed to start more quickly than whole tops. I guess, we'll see. No, they're not leeks πŸ˜‰

🌱 Seed 'taters cut and scabbing over. Going in the 'tater beds as soon as these dang cold winds die down.

🌱 We had some severe weather in the wee hours this morning. It beat up some daffodils that just opened and knocked down a bunch of usnea. Picked the broken daffodils, gathered the fallen usnea, and while outside, picked a mess of collards for supper.

🌱 My farmers market had trees and shrubs today. I've been wanting blueberry bushes for a few years now. I have 3 now. UGA recommended rabbiteye varieties for GA and to plant 2 different varieties. Never grown them before. Any hints, tips or smart advice?

True story. I visited Bonnie Scotland a few years ago. The best vacation ever. First night in we visited a ceilidh house and the young people learned traditional dances while I learned about local whisky. A handsome older Scott approached me and asked if I was American... 1/4
