One lazy Sunday...

alexpgp...except for those pesky translations.
Galina made it safely to Houston. The kids had me over for dinner to celebrate the combination of Mother's Day and Shannon's birthday.
The AeroGarden is beginning to look overgrown (time to start pruning the herbs and using them, I guess). The plants also suck up an impressive amount of water, certainly as compared to earlier on.
I managed to find a suitable length and width of bubble wrap for the patio garden upstairs. I'm not sure it'll keep plants from freezing if the temperature so warrants, but I'm confident every little bit helps.
The setup reminds me of the time we lived in our first house, in Jacksonville, Florida. There, I harvested about a dozen stalks of wild bamboo (considered a weed by locals), placed them so they arched between the eaves of the house and a line of bricks we used to outline a plant bed over by our converted garage, and then installed a sheet of transparent plastic to create a greenhouse effect.
It kept that converted garage warm, that's for sure, and we even managed to eke out some cherry tomatoes and lettuce that winter.
Time to hit the hay. It's been one of those exhausting, do-nothing (except translate) kind of days.
Cheers...
