Calibrachoa comeback
My two Calibrachoa plants overwintered. At first I wasn't sure they survived, but watered them anyway. Now look at them!
Benny hasn't bounced back as dramatically, but he did show more interest in food this evening than he has all week. I gave him another shot of B vitamins and some homemade rumen/bloat remedy anyway; he obviously liked the latter because he looked for more when the dosing syringe was empty. After that I sat in the sheepfold loving on the ewe lambs and picking foxtail seedbeds out of their fleeces. The middle and lower pastures are full of the nasty stuff. I'm going to try to convince Rick to mow when he gets back; otherwise, I'm not turning the sheep out again! That's it for today from . . .
I'm a homeschooling, horse training, animal loving, garden growing, part-time business running, spinning and knitting shepherd who loves the Great Shepherd.
