Finished potting-on the tomatoes and everything in green house is ok. Just need the weather to cooperate so I can get the cabbage and lettuce outside to make room to pot on the peppers and eggplant. We're making some progress. The rhubarb is starting to wake up and the soil temp. has now reached 42F. Small steps, but in the right direction.

#NoKingsProtest #NewEngland #Connecticut

Local No Kings 2 rally today.

I encourage everyone to show up where they can. Dress warm for New England.

If you are photographed DON"T be smiling. These protests are deadly serious...soldier have died and will continur to die to distract from the Pedo Files

Had 28F/-2C again this morning with frozen water (I'm never going to refer to it as ice ever again) in rain barrels. Will check on plants in greenhouse soon. Heater was on in there all night so we should be good. BeetBear is looking at the long-range forecast & has good news (it's warming up) & bad news (it's going to rain for a week). BeetBear's question is: "What do April Showers bring?" He suggests:"Muddy Feet" Anyone else have ideas?

Momentum is building on this!

Small, sun-driven power plants could soon be coming to backyards and balconies across New England. Lawmakers in all six of the region’s states are considering bills that would allow residents to take advantage of solar panel kits that plug in to standard home outlets, and supporters are optimistic that most — perhaps…

Any tattoo artists in New England doing creative work, inking clever designs? It has been a while since my last tattoo so I’m curious to get another. Maybe it makes sense to pair up with another visual artist along the way - so that part wouldn’t have to be local.
