garden update
Today the sun is out and it is shorts and t-shirt weather. The freeze did not hurt much. I did not protect anything except the outside water faucets. It looks as if the morning-glory vine pretty much bit the dust, which I could have predicted. The mountain sage lost all it's flowers but the leaves are mostly still green. I had thought about covering it in order to keep the flowers going another few weeks but decided to let nature take its course. The lawn grass is still green though.
My one regret is that I did not do anything to keep my pepper plants alive. If I had thought about it I could have put up the "water walls" and maybe kept them alive through the winter. We have a pretty good supply stored away though.
Posted by Bill Hopkins on November 26, 2003 04:27 PMBill, Just saw your comment about my Sisters comment on smoking beach cigarettes.
They are some form of reed, that when dried, and lit can be smoked like a cigarette. Of course when you are only 10 or 12, you DON't inhale, just puff. They are hollow inside kinda like a marrow bone. you lit the end and just puff away.
If you are really savy you blow through them first, to get the bugs and sand out before you suck the crap into your mouth.
Now, Aren't you glad you asked? :-)
