My flytraps didn't sell great but my garlic and bakers rack made up for that. So very happy with the day. Money is always a great present. Even if I won't get it until next week. I also got 5 tomato plants for a dollar each today. Slowly I am finishing what I need for the garden.
My friend has MDS which is a type of blood cancer. It doesn't have much for treatment. She visited for a little bit today then went back home. She says she is ready. Except for being short of breath she says she feels ok. No pain. She is thinking she is getting close. I hope she can stay comfortable while getting there.
Possible frost tonight so I have plants covered in case. After tonight I shouldn't have to worry too much about that.
Hope you had a good day.

I'm glad some of your sales made good money.
I wish I could find some tomato plants like that. (I want cherry tomatoes, though, not Big Boy or other large ones.)
We'll reach 46F as the low tonight. That's the lowest temp we'll have this coming week. All the daytime temps will be in the low 70s.
Have a good night.

@wolfgirl569 We only got down to 50F last night.
It's still early spring. I hope you're right but I guess we'll find out.

I was thrilled.
I got early girl. Still would like some cherry ones.
I didn't see any frost but 30s were possible last night. Hopefully that's the last one.

I am always surprised at what they spend on some of the easiest things to grow there.
I hope she stays comfortable

If she's getting close, she probably is. We seem to know when the end is near and when it's time. Hopefully her passing is swift and painless. I wish you the best of luck, too.

I think she is. Poor thing can't lose anymore weight. That's what I hope. That she stays comfortable.
