@flowerbug how can I keep until I need them? Garden is enclosed now. And i know they will eat them in a flash,lol

put a little dirt in a plastic bucket, put some organic matter on top of the dirt, make sure it doesn't dry out, freeze or bake. once in a while give them some food scraps or more organic matter. use an old t-shirt or some very fine mesh material and elastic around it to hold it on and to make sure it is sealed (they'll crawl out and also bugs can get in or out if you don't seal it up).

Well, lot of work putting shelves and pots of all kind in the old duck pen to make it a greenhouse but I think it will be my working shed,lol
Darn tomatoes and peppers are so dragging. Call a lady and will buy her tomatoes and peppers. And see where mine turn out,lol

After receiving bad news about the trailblazer needing a new engine, just wanted nothing to do. So, after all the work they did on it and later finding out it needed new motor (5k), they said would not charge me because they should have find out about the engine before any work. So, it's sitting by the garden and I might sell it forward once I get the title.
Awful 😖 4800 down the drain.
So, after a full afternoon nap, thought of getting the seedlings back in for the night but left them all out. Wanted to BBQ some T-bone steaks I found in the freezer the day before with fresh mash potatoes but had a manicotti cheese filled, so that's what I had. Then around 3am had a burger bun with egg salad. Went to bed at 5am this morning.
Up by 830am and moved one of the 2 carports I had bought and rolled it to the back of the she-pen. That way I can put that eye-sore for a bit.

But before it goes up, had to cut some limbs. Just taking a break under the shade of a pine tree way in the back.

Ok, a bit more work on the she-pen. Got some iron stands and topped it with part pallet and made a table. Put obs board like a shelf and attached a pieces of wood with screws half out and hung some gardening tools and added a bracket for the cutting shears. I am tired,lol

The man that sold me the trailblazer called me back and told me that his mechanic did a tune up and said that everything was fine. That he could give me 1k back. I was like... and the vehicle? He said he'd take it as is. Does he thinks I am stupid? I paid for brake and rotors and emergency boot so like selling it back to him for 1k? I just told him that his mechanic was not trustworthy. He just said, ok, I am sorry. Life is a hard working journey but people like that makes life difficult.

Hung time-radio that stays on smile fm. Jamming my moves, annoying neighbor with my not celestial voice yet, and enjoying the work for His glory!

Wish could get a concert buddy again. I miss going to Christian concerts around.
