Woo! (to both meara and msbelle and Tom!)
17 hours until spring.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

When are you supposed to plant bulbs? I'm jealous of my neighbors' croci or whatever they are. I have a few, but I want a lot more.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
My computer is now on lock-down.
From what you've said, Mac has a lot of problem with impulse control. Locking down the computer is a good thing. It means he can't get into trouble. You can think of it like wearing a seat belt. No one gets into a car thinking they are going to wreck, but it's still smart to wear your seat belt.
Eventually he'll need to learn to do it all on his own, but this is something that will cut down on conflict. And I hope that it's a good thing for you.

Plant bulbs in the fall for spring bloom. They need the 8-10+ weeks of cold to go dormant enough to bloom. I would be HAPPY to advise you on choices. I like John Scheepers bulbs.

“Not dead yet!”
I bought some potted basil at the fruit market today.
The little tag says keep in a sunny window and that it doesn't like cold, but what if I want to transfer it to my herb garden? Do I do that after the threat of the last freeze? Which is, like, now, I think.

Hee! I'd like stuff that goes season long in waves, spring, summer, fall. My soil is the most evil clay ever, I'll probably need a posthole digger. I've got ivy. But bulbs would be low maintenance, I hope (my next door neighbor doesn't do anything with hers, she didn't plant them. They just come up.)
Obviously not for this year, but next.

Aw, that's sweet. No. We're not out of frost threat yet in the PNW. Certainly not if the last five years I've seen are any indication.
Which is kinda sad because today is just gorgeous.

Also? Are tiger lilies bulbs? Because I LOVE tiger lilies and want some. I tried planting on, but the squirrels ate it before it could get going (and clay is HARD.)
