Gardening – 3 Weeks Until Transplanting Outside

By Cynthia Sax on April 24, 2024

The tomato, marigold and pepper plants are growing happily in the basement grow station.

I grew extra plants because…squirrels. (shakes head and grins) They love to dig up newly transplanted plants. For no real reason except it entertains them. I have spare plants in case I lose a few.

Transplanting won’t happen for another 3 weeks. That is the expected last frost date in our corner of the universe.

I’ve also started beans and squash and am waiting for them to germinate.

The grow station is packed. I find that super exciting. (beams)

Strike Zone

A cyborg devoted to duty…and to her.

***

While attending a party, Kesser, the daughter of her planet’s leader, witnesses the abduction of her best friend and her best friend’s mate.

She’s determined to rescue them. Preferably without fracturing the fragile peace agreement her mom has crafted with the abductors’ planet.

The only issue is…she has never participated in a retrieval mission.

Searching for assistance, she approaches the mate’s guard. The male, with his big broad shoulders and deep growly voice, affects her like no other being ever has.

Kesser wants him. She trusts him. And she requires his stealth combat skills.

Desperately.

Strike is no guard. The D Model cyborg has been sent to the sector to discreetly investigate a potential planet-destroying situation.

When a curvy human female with big brown eyes requests his help with a rescue, he doesn’t hesitate to say yes. She’s his genetic match, the one being he was manufactured to protect.

She’s also traveling to the next planet he has to search. He plans to claim his female while he fulfills his responsibilities to his kind.

Neither Strike nor Kesser realizes the dangers facing them are far greater than they imagine. Their enemies are converging, and one failed mission could doom the entire universe.

Strike Zone is a standalone, mistaken-identity, Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

Tomato Update

By Cynthia Sax on July 30, 2022

This is a stock photo. We mostly see cabbage white butterflies on our clover.

We have a gazillion green tomatoes on the vine and the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I are so fraggin’ excited about that. None of them have turned red yet. Not even the mini/cherry tomatoes.

Some will definitely be gifts to the slugs, squirrels, birds, raccoons, etc. When the tomatoes mature, we plan to eat some fresh, freeze enough for the Autumn/Winter/Spring and then give the rest away to family, friends and neighbors.

IF we are fortunate to have that many tomatoes.

Peas are being eaten as they mature. We planted them at different times so we should have fresh peas for snacks until frost.

Beans are forming. I planted those really late in the season.

The wild strawberries the squirrels gifted to us are done producing fruit. They are now pretty ground cover, as is the THREE different types of clover in our back yard (yellow, white and purple).
