Silly me...

...drywall screws don't work w/ brick!!

Had I been thinking, I would have connected the dots that go from "The outside facing walls in my room are lath and plaster directly (almost) on top of the brick.", to "Odds are, that also is true downstairs!!"

Had I been thinking.  Ha!

So, no heaters on walls today.  The good news is that I returned about $25.00 of stuff today, which means that I should be able to afford the fasteners and starter bit that I'll need.

"What do we want?"

"Heat!"

"When will we have it?"

"Real soon!"

Sigh.

Sunday's Friday Garden

Things are growing!

Well, sort of... the yellow onions seem healthy, but the reds look DOA.  Still gotta get some garlic in there.

Quince, tomatoes, peppers and garlic are looking good.

Blackberry is almost bush-like this year!

Tomatoes, peppers and melons all standing tall-ish.

Kitchen bed holding its own.  The basil is blooming already, which means I need to do some trimming.  Perhaps this evening...

Close-up on the Rosemary and Basil.

Production notes:

The colors are a tad washed.  I used the phone's lighting correction, because of the overcast.  I have other photos that are cyanotic, so I'm not using them.

I tweaked the layout a tad.  This lets me display the landscape shots at a larger size!  I'll go back and update the last garden post, now.
