Hello Folks. Hope this finds my friends all in at least fair if not Great Health. I am back and if there is any interest, I hope to start writing about Gardening and other interesting subjects like Survival and such. I also love science. I have Always been Curious and decided at the age of 6 that I wanted to learn about Everything. I am now in my 80's and I have learned a lot and still feel that I know very little. Currently, I have grown several garden plants from the seeds up through the winter under One Plant lite made of LED's on a plywood board that was about 2 ft X 4ft.
I was so happy to see spring come. I can finally get outside in the fresh air on my patio and start a small ( ? ) garden. I currently have 10 Heirloom Tomatoes in Self-Watering 5 gallon Buckets that I designed last year and it was such a successful experiment; that I am going to plant more plants this spring. Usint the Self-Watering Bucket Planters. I only made one mistake last year. I didn't put enough crushed egg shells in the tomato soil mix. However, Blossom Rot was still at a minimum. This year I went out and just bought a bag of calcium and mixed a handful in the soil mix of each bucket. I also added a little lime to sweeten the soil. I tried something new this year. I used the same soil mix in 4 buckets - without the self-waters for 4 potato plants. On the railing around the deck - I have 4 boxes that are growing my "Green Onions". And they are already poking out of the soil saying "Yes!" It's Spring. A bird has built a nest over one of the Deck Lights above and there is a Chorus of Song early in the morning and a light twittering coming from the nest as evening falls. Wonderful. And so Real in a world that has become confusing to me. The bird-probably and lowly Sparrow is an Anchor for me.
I hope I can show a few pictures from last years Deck Garden. If you have questions; Contact me here and I will try to give you a good answer concerning a Deck Garden.

The device is called a “storm glass” and it has been used to predict the weather for over 200 years. While the storm glass was invented in the mid 1700’s and used in European ports and harbors to warm of approaching inclement weather, the storm glass did not gain notoriety until Admiral FitzRo...
