Here it is the third weekend in February and the Garden of Weedin is about full; got just enough room left for some hot pepper plants.
Went heavy with the onions this year (sets and transplants) as last years crop was right tasty and went quick.
Dont normally plant potatoes due to limited space but the gardening guru on Maple Street gave some to me and says to put some ash in the ground when you plant them. Hope it works because it was a messy job.
Might be a bit early with the tomato planting this year but thats ok as long as it does not freeze.
There should be an early spring this year, coupled with El Nino, global warming and the ground hog not seeing its shadow. 1999 was the last time the groundhog did not see its shadow. Spring is around the corner and will be here next month.
Did you know a groundhog is another name for a woodchuck or a whistlepig. It is a rodent and a member of the squirrel family; imagine a 30 pound squirrel.
So you ask how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
Its funny how those old tongue twisters pop up in your mind. They all seem to get passed from generation to generation.
Here are a few that you may have heard before:
How can a clam cram in a clean cream can?
Can you can a can as a canner can can a can?
Picky people pick Peter Pan Peanut-Butter, tis the peanut-butter picky people pick.
Petes pa Pete poked to the pea patch to pick a peck of peas for the poor pink pig in the pink hole pig-pen.
Which rich wicked witch wished the wicked wish?
She sells sea shell by the sea shore.
The shells she sells are surely seashells.
So if she sells shells on the seashore,
Im sure she sells seashore shells.
If you weed them weal fast your tongue will get tick.
