TGIF; Green Stuff Happens.

Friday again. Yippe.

Cyber hugs for all the nice notes and emails this week. Ya’ll are some very nice people.

All of you except for the weirdo who keeps leaving me links to see nekkid pictures of his girlfriend. Shame shame…I know your name: nasty person in Singapore.

Made some progress on the farm…

La’ fence by La’ Coach.P1040728

So far I have planted in the ground ‘maters, some herbs, jalapeño, a few varieties of lettuce.

My seeds.

I may have went overboard here. Maybe?

Spinach (aye! Popeye) Tomato's, cukes, red pepper, cilantro, lettuce, broccoli and carrots.

Mr. Man is still working on the trellis for the ‘maters…but no hurry, they are still lil’ babies.

When my seedlings are bigger, they will be moved into the farmville with their older cousins. It will be a big family get together in there. Raisin’ cane.

No plans for the weekend. Maybe some weeding and laundry.

I know…great stuff huh?

You never know though, we may hop on a jet and play some roulette in Vegas.

My favorite color of roulette chip: Chartreuse or Periwinkle.

Do you play roulette?

It is addicting, just like weeding. I sometimes find myself pulling dollar weeds and shouting: RED! 21! EVEN! LUCKY 13!!!

Happy Weekend.

Bee Happy. Bee Silly. Bee GREEN! (or chartreuse)

  2. I understand why comments were off for your post remember your Grandmother, but I was disappointed. It was so poignant! You are still the light of her life, no question.

    Love your farm and the young crops. I have a recipe for the best tomato soup in the entire world that I am going to post one of these days....for fresh tomatoes. It's The Source's....

    This weekend is the Academy Awards!! Surely you will watch at least the Red Carpet pre-shows...during which, if you haven't anything nice to say about the attendees, do come sit next to me!

  3. I wouldn't have the foggiest of how to play roulette. It always looks so flashy in the movies. I would like whatever color is the most money!! The fence and garden look great. I will never again post a picture of my little garden fence up in Idhao---I put it up myself & IT looks like it!! You've shamed me Suz.
    Have a great weekend.

  6. The fence looks great--good idea in case that turtle decides to pay you another visit.

  8. Love, Love, LOVE Roulette! I usually choose the red chips. Your farm looks great! We're starting our own little farm this year. I've only grown herbs and tomatoes in the past so it should be interesting. Can't wait to hear how your crop does. Have a fun weekend.

  9. Love your little farmville. I'm glad she's taking shape! *envy*

    Hugs to you, friend. I'm glad it's Friday. It's been a rough one, I know.

  10. Don't you have to wear an evening gown to play roulette? And don't you have to be there with James Bond to win?

  11. chartreuse is not a natural color you know! i envy your little garden i won't be able to start mine until my honey decides!!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Wow. Glad you see your thumbs all green and happy! Things look great! I think I should have had your husband help me with my blackberry fence. Yikes. Will not be showing a picture of that one!

  13. Your garden is looking great. I cannot wait to plant mine this year. Have a fun week end what ever you do and if you go to Vegas win big!

  14. I think once you start weeding you just have to continue until you've pulled them all up!

    And fancy getting some guy posting photos of his girlfriend; some people are so uncouth.

  15. Have a fun weekend. Your garden already looks awesome.

    I know you turned off the comments on your last post, but I'm going to sneak one in here about your grandma: Happy Birthday to her! I'm so thankful for the unconditional LOVE and SPICE that she brought into your life. I can tell that she had a huge impact on you, and I think you carry some of her spirit with you. Her love will NEVER leave you. XOXO

  16. I love the idea of a garden. But I would kill everything.

  17. I wish I had a place to grow spinach. We love it and I've gotten fearful of buying fresh spinach no matter how many times I wash it. Perhaps you could establish a little mail-order business?

  18. I hope you have me over for a great salad when all is said and done ;)

    Big hugs to you my sweet lady! :) Hope your weekend is full of happiness!

  19. Did you receive the seeds from Hometown Seeds?

  20. ok you are putting my garden to shame! i would have thought that God would have liked it that I was planting (or trying to plant) a garden and I thought he would have given me weather to help move things along too! But He didn't :( well not lately... but this weekend it's supposed to be sunny and that's prefect for garden working! I'll be putting pictures up of my performance and hard work.
    I'm totally envious of your garden.

  21. Your garden is starting to look official! I can't wait for the maters.
    This weekend is all about baseball, track meets and the Oscars.

    I don't play roulette, but love me some blackjack

  22. I can almost feel your sun!

  23. I wish the ground was ready for such things here. It's frozen and covered in snow! I'm jealous!

    ReplyDelete
  24. 0h...if only I lived in Florida!! We never plant anything until after Easter...unless we want to take the chance that it might freeze and die - which is a chance I'm not willing to take! :)

    I love tomatoes and can't wait to plant them. Kaeden loves going out everyday to find new ones to pick. He eats almost all of them before they even make it into the house!

    Have a great weekend!

  25. I'm very impressed with Farmville. Coach did a great job with the fence and you should have plenty of good eating in the weeks ahead. If you make it to Vegas I hope you get back home with more money than you had when you leave home!
    Have a great week.

  26. P.S. I'm a blackjack girl! Hit me!

  27. Your farm will be better than facebook's farmville! ha,ha! I think I still have 60 days before I can plant anything that Michigan's odd weather won't kill. YOu gave me some good ideas what to plant. Jalapenos are a necessity for my latino espousa!

  28. I loved what you said about your grandmother.... so sweet.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I will have to live vicariously through your farm. Mine just didn't happen this year. Maybe next year.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I love looking at things in/around your house!

    Aw, come on, be a sport. Just click over to that nice Singapore man's girlfriend pics. Just once. Just as a good deed.

  31. Hi Suz, You are turning into a real live FARMER.... You and your family are really going to enjoy all of those fresh veggies this summer.... Next year, you will have to double the size of your farm.... ha

    Have a great weekend.
    Hugs,
    Betsy

  32. One of my favorite sweaters ever is a pretty periwinkle blue. I never thought such a color would look good on me since I'm dark, but I've loved that sweater threadbare!

    La Coach, you are La Bomba. How orderly and precise is that perfection of a fence!? I WANT ONE, Waaaaaaaaaah!!!!!

    You have motivated me to get going on my veggie patch. We're in the midst of trial waaaaaay out in the desert until the end of March. Have you ever heard of El Centro, Ca? Umm, yah. It's the hicks. So, as soon as I have a minute, I'm gonna start seedlin'!

    I KNOW you are awake out there!!!! How I wish you were my neighbor next door, I'd bring over my favorite pinot, a wedge of stinky cheese, grapes, a giant block of GOOD chocolate, and three blondes....we'd have the time of our lives until the pre-dawn hours. A girl can dream!

    Have a precious, lovely weekend with your sweet, sweet family, Suz. :-)

  33. i cant wait to get started on our garden too... BUT the snow's gotta go first... ERGH

    i know you were so sad on your gramma's b-day and i just wanted to give you huge hugs... i am so sorry you hurt and are missing her so.

    i KNOW she will always be with you honey.. but now your brother has her to love and keep him company. and i hear they have humongous awesome birthday parties in heaven for each one who lives there.

    enjoy your weekend and hope the weather is warm and sunny. warm and sunny is good.

  34. That nasty guy gets around. He even reads my blogs. And I don't think those who read Seek Him First are interested in his photos.

    Have a great one.

  35. You have a green thumb indeed. Would you and Coach like to come out here and advise me? My thumb is pretty brown.

    I gave you an award on my blog today. XO

  36. lovely photo of the plants-just recovering from the pic of your fab pool

  37. Someday, I will have a pretty garden like yours... someday!

    Right now all the impending yardwork is staring at me in the face as the snow melts, revealing 3 acres of lawn to rake from bits of broken tree branches (wind storms), flowers to plant and then hours of daily weeding and grass mowing...

    Um, can we sell this monster of a place soon? Pretty please?

    (then I can move into your castle, mouahahhaha! I can pay my rent by clearing your farm of weeds and 'maters. Yes? :-D )

  38. Whoa girl! Slow down! You've got a huge salad in your backyard. What are cukes anyway? it all looks good. Can't wait to see all those plants growing and harvest time. Hugs!

  39. Never once have I gambled.
    I think I should.
    I am too boring.
    My friends all went out on Friday night and they didn't invite me. I think because I never go to the clubs after dinner. I wish they would have at least asked. Maybe I am not fun.
    Kaish is sad today because he wants a dog. Gary is at work. Of course. Like EVERY freaking Sunday. I didn't go to church because my friend Marsha is away celebrating her Birthday. I think she might be in Vegas. We are having an audit next week at work. I am stressed out already. Thank you for listening to all of my complaints. I think you are like therapy for me. XO

  40. Oh, I'm so jealous as I see how productive you've been out on "the farm". I need to get my rear in gear.
    And the post below...
    Just precious!!
