My second attempt at making a home made apple pie. This one weighed 6 lbs and it took 3 days to disappear.

April 12 - Celebrity tomatoes seeded on March 23 were transplanted into solo cups on April 12 (4). More tomatoes will be transplanted tomorrow.

April 15 - Hot times in Magnolia as temperatures went up over 90º for the last two days. I was able to spread mulch over the rocks around the property and bought one more yard as I was running out of mulch. Watering is necessary, as the veggies are growing rapidly.

April 18, 2026 - I started basil, parsley, some more tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce in the sunroom.
