I could have ordered some special Sri Lankan sweets for the occasion, but, I decided not to. <br /><br />I got as far as looking at chicken wire to order, but, didn't actually order it. M did buy me two tomato cages for the tomato plants and we set them up in place, today. I had some of those green plastic coated metal stakes, but, I am down to about 3 of them, now. Probably time to buy a few more?

I always...Happy New Year to you and your daughter. I always enjoy hearing about different customs from different areas of the world. <br />I think you marked the day nicely with the flowers and your mike rice and spicy onions. <br />While I admire your ingenuity, I think its time to order a roll of chicken wire or hardware cloth ( much cheaper then chicken wire) from Walmart and do a curbside pickup because those sticks are not going to cut it all by themselves. <br />lol<br />And maybe get a pack of tall bamboo garden sticks too. I know having them has come in handy for me.<br />A few years ago I got some nice rubber or plastic coated metal stakes and they were worth every penny I spent on them. And you know I don't like to spend money if I can make do with what I have.<br />I got them at Home Depot. They were not expensive and work great with the chicken wire. <br />Anyway, just a few thoughts to keep your garden pals in check. 56stepshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714155300369089630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-16835099195875731062021-04-16T10:53:21.971-07:002021-04-16T10:53:21.971-07:00Wish you and your family the same, Nil.

Or, perhaps not enough sunlight (they require 6-8 hours of direct sunlight). But, perhaps it's a good idea to concentrate on growing flowers and buying your veggies. The chicory plants used to grow on the roadside when I was in Green Bay. I'm sure they grow in your area, too. It's an edible plant and the roots are roasted to make a sort of coffee.

I won't bother this year! I'll go to the farmers market for veggies. I'm not sure what blue chicory flowers look like. I'll have to look those up. Best, Celie.

I love the wild blue chicory that we see around in summer by the roads. <br />I was listening to a garden phone in and learned why the blue poppy is so hard to grow. Apparently you need fresh seeds, not some that have sat around in a packet in the store. I've never tried to grow one and now I won't waste my money on a packet of seeds! (I thought I'd share that in case any of your readers have had trouble trying to grow them.)Bushladynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-66245334767227275792021-04-15T06:03:44.648-07:002021-04-15T06:03:44.648-07:00Happy Sri Lankan New Year Bless!Happy Sri Lankan New Year Bless!Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12500564300569765406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-31998638801015807712021-04-15T05:24:54.275-07:002021-04-15T05:24:54.275-07:00💟💟R's Ruehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05711563217099699047noreply@blogger.com
