Selfie - 4/3/2014 Still a bit of fuzz on my head. For now.
I wrote, a week or so ago, that I wasn't going to let this blog become a pity party. Then my hair began falling out, and I thought.....maybe just a teeny, teeny, tiny pity party? Hey, I'm human!
But, you know what? I'm over it. My hair is of absolutely no importance to me now. What is hair? A bunch of dead cells, like fingernails? Who needs a bunch of dead cells?
Amy and Alicia bought me two cute hats and two cute "everyday" caps. My blogger friends have offered hand made knit and crochet caps. Who needs hair when one has such caring friends and family. I'm still me!
I'm mostly a stay at home person, so I'm not even considering a wig. Let the young people wear the wigs.
So this teeny, teeny, tiny pity party is over. For now. I'm not promising nuthin' this time :-)
Over and out.

Seedling Update
I counted 10 full sized peppers on the Happy Yummy indoor plant.

The Minigold tomatoes outgrew the plant window, so they were moved outside. We can bring them in if the weather turns too cold. It's supposed to be in the 70s by the end of the week, but night temps are still in the 40s, which is about ten degrees too cold for tasty tomatoes.

A dozen cabbages and six broccoli.

Basil.

Kind of late planted peppers and tomatoes.

Main crop tomatoes and a couple of later planted peppers.

Main crop sweet peppers.
Keeping warm under the lights.
Everyone needs a little pity party once in a while. Feel free to grouse whenever the mood strikes.
ReplyDeleteI think you're beautiful. Blue really suits you, too.
ReplyDeleteI asked Mike why the squash plants are growing so crazy. He said he's always sown them right into the garden, never really tried to start them early so he's not sure. Kinda funny! He said ours are growing just fine (when I asked him about the rest). I think he wants me to quit bugging him about them, lol. Yours look amazing!
Your seedlings are looking good -
ReplyDeletethat's the right attitude granny! there are more important things to worry about. so what's the secret for nice sweet peppers? mine are always measly!
ReplyDeleteKelli, I suppose variety, as well as growing conditions make the difference. I've grown nasty, tasteless sweet peppers that I blame variety. I didn't even bother with most of my old seeds this year, and stuck with the ones that were healthiest and sweetest I've previously grown. Those are Happy Yummy (from Dave), Horizon Orange, Quadrato Rosso D'Asti, Red Marconi (my favorite) and for color (yellow) more than flavor, but it's good, Quadrato Giallo D'Asti,
DeletePity Party? I think not! Nothing wrong with letting us know what's going on...with you and the veggies :)
ReplyDeleteYou are entitled to as many pity parteies as you need! I love your attitude though and the hats will look so cute on you. Nice lot of gardening still going on! Nancy
ReplyDeleteHey, that Happy Yummy plant is lookin' good.! You are too, for that matter! ;-)
ReplyDeleteDave, I might be moving it out during the daytime soon, with temps supposed to be in the 70s! I worry a bit about moving it in and out, as I sure don't want to break off any of the foliage and fruit!
DeleteDear sweet Granny, your inner beauty will ALWAYS outshine any hair loss. I'm a hat girl and these are soo cute. I can't wait to see a picture of the cute little grey number with bow on you. It's absolutely adorable! My starters never looked as good as yours. Maybe I should have used a grow light! (smile) Stay strong!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteGranny, I think you should be proud to be who you are because you are beautiful inside and out. If you are loosing your hair, so what! You have more important things to deal with right now and know that we love you no matter if you have hair or not. I do hope you continue to share with us because we are with you on this crazy ride. To be honest...I think I could tolerate a hat. Wigs would be too itchy and uncomfortable.
ReplyDeleteGran, you are beautiful no matter what!
ReplyDeleteIt's not a pity party-it's letting people who care know what's going on. Big hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteAnd your seedlings are looking fat and sassy--another good year in the making.
Hey Granny, why don't you go bananas and get a purple wig? Or a red one maybe? You could turn this hairloss thing into a fashion opportunity!
ReplyDeleteYour seedlings look tidy and well-organised as usual. I like to see plants well cared for.
LOL, Mark! I think that straw hat would keep my head from sunburning. I look horrid in purple :-)
DeleteYou always have such a sense of humor Granny. And you will have to model those hats for us.
ReplyDeleteYour seedlings are looking great. I planted another flat of them yesterday. And brought yet more plants outside to harden off. I don't have nearly the number you have. All mine are either getting hardened off or fit under one set of shop lights.
Daphne, we're taking the entire family out for dinner Sunday, to celebrate Mr. Granny's 79th. birthday. The kids want me to dress up and wear the black Fedora. Maybe there will be a photo op! Nobody will recognize me in "real" dress up clothes.
DeleteGranny, you are gorgeous no matter what! It doesn't matter what you have on your head (hair, hat, turban, whatEV!) you will always be rockin awesome. Too bad I can't knit or crochet, or I'd send you a lil present too. Can't wait to see you in that fedora!
ReplyDeleteYour seedlings and plants look amazing! Mine are just starting, so I am quite a ways behind you this year.
Granny- Your seedlings are looking fabulous, as always! Your KFC Go cups seem to be cheering you on! I'm glad you seem to have some more use of your hands, and that you've got some help to keep your gardening going!
ReplyDeleteYou are not a "pity party gal"...from what I have read on your blog for years. You are a fighter + don't mind the muck a bit! I do understand losing hair ( chemo 2003), so I do "get" what you mean when you say, "what is hair"...:-) , so true. Pretty cute hats! I think you look beautiful:-)
