We are having some temperature swings this week in central Oklahoma. The winds of Oklahoma make it possible to experience multiple seasons in the same week. This week we had spring and winter. I think it is called false spring. There was a tornado this week not too far from where we live. I haveContinue reading “Sourdough Starter”

The Seed Order
The weather has been great to start off the new year. It has continued to be very warm this week in central Oklahoma. It is time for planning the spring garden and I have already placed my seed order. I got most of my seeds from Dollar Tree but I did order eight packs online.Continue reading “The Seed Order”
Virginia Opossum
It was another very warm and windy week in central Oklahoma. I have been busy this week. I went to the farm on Friday and I visited my family in Texas yesterday. The traffic was not good and I was late to arrive at my sister’s house. I baked chocolate chip cookies for my familyContinue reading “Virginia Opossum”
Phlox
It was a warm and windy week here in central Oklahoma. So warm, in fact, that my tulips started to come up early. Google says they’ll be fine, but I have my doubts. The temperature dropped today into the teens in Fahrenheit. Fortunately, it doesn’t seem like it will be cold for long. I haveContinue reading “Phlox”
Mice
The weather is getting cooler again and we had some rain today in central Oklahoma. My balcony garden has been blooming but I think another freeze will come next week.

We have enjoyed very warm and windy weather in central Oklahoma this week. Although we had a short freeze last week, now it is over 80 F° again. The freeze damaged my balcony plants quite a bit but they didn’t die completely. The marigolds are blooming more now than they did earlier this year. TheContinue reading “Carrots”
Poison Ivy

Marigolds
This week has very windy, which is not unusual for Oklahoma. We haven’t had our first freeze yet but some of my balcony plants are already having a hard time with the cold nights. The nicotiana and basil seem to be finished but the marigolds have come back to life in the cooler temperatures. TheContinue reading “Marigolds”
Sleepy Orange
We had a nice rain in central Oklahoma on Friday. We also had a little rain on Saturday morning. It was a very busy week at work and I didn’t see many butterflies on my balcony this week. We went out to the farm on Saturday and I did see a few butterflies there. IContinue reading “Sleepy Orange”
Super Monarchs
Another hot and sunny week in central Oklahoma. It is October but it feels like August. I had some time off work last week but I wasn’t able to go to the farm. My boyfriend had to work a lot and we share a car so it wasn’t possible for me to go to theContinue reading “Super Monarchs”
