OSUT#256 - Easter Bunny, Solar Eclipse...what's next?

[klausm]

checked the brake pads on the wife's car, and filled up the spare tire
finished up replenishing the wood pile and got the garden turned over
got the weed eater respooled and running

Howdy klaus. Mine are just a minor annoyance with some sniffles and itchy eyes at the worst.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I'm waging war on the weeds tomorrow. I forget who told me on INGO, but I'm going to try stepping on the thistles before spraying them. They seemed to think that made the spraying more effective. Kind of makes sense if the plants were already damaged I guess.

 

[BeDome]

I haven't ever had allergies, but I've read, they can develop at any stage in life.

Grew up around mesquites and many wild land toxic plants. Brushed against them all the time and pulled the infected thorns out, often.

Never ever had any allergy troubles until I had lived in Indiana for about five years.

As an amatuer horticultural hobbiest, I can tell you what is attacking me half of the time.

Allergies bite where you can't reach to scratch.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Howdy BeDome.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I noticed all my lilacs are blooming when I was cutting the back yard today. Can't wait for the viburnum to bloom. They make the whole yard smell good.

That's a lot! MAN!

Sit down.

We have a fragrant viburnum in a (stupid) spot where it has outgrown space allowed for it.

This is about a twenty year old shrub with a trunk about ten inches in diameter at the ground. It has been "kept" this way for who knows how long.
We moved here two years ago.

The cultivar we have will grow to thirty feet high, presenting hundreds of amazing blossoms and cover a thirty foot wide circle if allowed to be.
But it was planted at/within about two or three feet of the corner of the house.
They bloom on old wood so keeping it "small" will be like a new science to learn.

Both of ours were planted by my dad who knows how many years ago. I remember them both from my childhood, so one is close to 60 years old, and the other one is probably about 50 years old.

Awesome!
I'll assume they make quite a statement when they bloom.

They do. They're both a good 75 feet or so from our deck and if the wind is right we can smell them from the deck. Viburnum, lilac and Lily of the Valley are 3 of my favorite springtime fragrances and we have them all.

Evening all
Mama had chicken cooking on the grill when I got home.
After I ate I was going to run the weed Wacker, but couldn't get it to start

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Howdy red. I take it mama is feeling better?

 

[red_zr24x4]

Howdy red. I take it mama is feeling better?

Yes, thanks for asking
She started Ozempic a couple of months ago, and gets every side effect for a day or two after taking it

Finished cleaning out one of the storage units. Organized the second storage unit. Got the patio furniture and ladder from storage. Installed a rain chain.

 

[target64]

BBQ Chicken , peas and carrots and stuffing was, on the dinner menu.

 

[BeDome]

Daughter made a spaghetti sauce style, chunky variety, with meatballs. Served with store bought ravioli and a loaf of Italian bread turned into garlic toast.
Fabulous!
I stopped just short of becoming miserable from overeating. Left some on my plate.
