I dont understand what you mean when you say you have to order some "new" T5s?....do you mean you have no light tubes because they burned out? The price of them has come way down

a box of 4 T5 four footers costs about $50.00 and should last many years!!!!

Getting cold tonight

I went for a run and then covered up all my seedlings.

Started my compost bin.

I need to do that! It's been on my to-do list for a while.

You can cut off the tops...they will re grow.

No, I started them from seeds and they basically just withered into nothing. Okay, it was probably lack of light and forgetting to water enough if I'm honest...;-)

Yeah - I only have one lamp since we have such a small set up and it got busted last fall when I dropped it while taking it down. :-(

Mixed in a couple bags of good soil in my "flower bed" out front where I have two newly planted "Cherry Dazzle" crape myrtles. I put some mulch around the plants but I need at least one more bag of dirt to properly fill in this area.

Chopped off all the old asparagus ferns at the base; I suppose it's late for that? ... but such a beautiful day; tried weeding some of the huge gigantic mass of chickweed under my dome; the wind peeled the plastic back just before the latest cold spell about 4 days ago which was fine with me ... maybe it'll be cold enough to kill what's left in there before spring really hits.

This afternoon was gorgeous today in SW La.! The sun took a while to show itself but when it did we were blessed with mild temps around 70 degrees. Bought some bags of soil today and river pebbles to fill in holes and low-lying paths around the yard.

I planted a grape hybrid

Richard Walden x ( Riparia 89 x Perlette ). The one I've posted pictures of.
The second is a hybrid with large black berries and female flowers.
Hoping to get a seedless grape out of the cross, like the one below.
