Hello, friends. Last week, I redeemed 2150 Swagbucks for a $25 GC. Cabbage, chicory, and a few more broccoli shoots were harvested. J had a birthday, and I made him German Chocolate brownies, as layer cakes are not a skill I possess. I transplanted 10 peppers to cells for J's business partner, and started squash seeds... tromboncino, ronde de nice zucchini, and yellow straightneck. The wildflower seeds gifted by my stepson have begun blooming.
For whatever reason, none of my lettuce germinated, so J picked up lettuce seedlings, plus cabbage and broccoli. J planted the cabbage and broccoli, and I got the lettuce in the ground Sunday evening, before the rain. We're hoping for a nice long spring, so we'll get to harvest them all before they bolt. I repaired a boot with shoe goo. When renewing a magazine, I used a $5 off coupon code. My car received it's first washing of the year, prompted by all the pollen.
My camera will no longer transfer photos to the PC, and is acting wonky in general. M used it for work several years, then gifted it to me. It's over 20 years old at this point, so I surely can't complain. J checked, and the software is no longer supported. I've looked around a little, but gosh, new ones are expensive, and I'm clueless as to what would work best for me (simple, with minimal bells and whistles). For now at least, I'm just sticking with my phone camera. Wishing you a peaceful, light-filled week. Update: I just remembered, Food Lion is having BOGO on Lindsay organic olives, which are some of the few without citric acid. Though they're not inexpensive, that's what I've been buying for a couple of years, without ever seeing a sale. You can bet I stocked up!

You do great on the swagbucks! Last year none of my seeds germinated and they were expensive. I decided maybe the birds ate them so this year I covered them and they are coming up. I guess we will never know actually why they don't come up at times. Sorry about your camera. Mine doesn't always connect and I restart my computer (still doesn't work) and just try closing out my canon program and opening it back up (seems to work sometimes). I think you're right about the software not supporting older things. I think my old computer will not support anymore future updates from microsoft. It's breaking anyway so I have to get a new one. It is 9 years old and since it was on sale, probably a year older when it was "new". andrea
Happy Birthday to J! I'm sure the brownies hit the spot.
Sounds like you'll have a great start to some garden greens!
I use my phone for photos exclusively now, it takes great pictures!
Hope you get some of this rain today. Have a lovely week!
I use my phone camera more and more for the blog, especially when it is just shots around the house. You have such a good eye that while the phone camera may not be what you want, it will tide you over. I look at your gardening shots (cabbage!) with Ohio envy; still not planting outside (a good thing too; we had a light snow last night and it is supposed to hit 21 tonight)....!
The easiest way I rack up points on Swagbucks is by going through them when shopping online, sometimes for personal things, and sometimes for business supplies. It's not uncommon for Vitacost to have 8% cash back on SB, and I buy from them fairly regularly. Combined with Vitacost's own 15 or 20% off sales, it can really add up. That's great you've got good germination!
Thanks, I'll pass on your birthday wishes to J. I liked being able to see what I was getting while taking pics with the camera, instead of waiting to look on the computer, but it really does work fine. We've gotten 1/4" rain, and are hoping for more!
All the cabbage was cold hurt, when we got down into the teens, and never got very big, but with days in the upper 80's recently, we were afraid they'd start splitting. So, we'll make good use of them now. Wow, 21 is cold in April! It looks like we're going to get a frost tomorrow, which has us worried about all the fruit. It's always interesting!
Happy belated Birthday to your husband! I bet he enjoyed his treat!! I'm hoping to get greens and a few other things in the garden in the next week. I can't wait!
I relayed your birthday wishes to J. Thank you! Have fun gardening!
