I'm headed to the farmer's market, with Baby Girl Pug, to buy some lettuce starts and maybe chard after (almost certain to be In-Laws) dinner last night. It's cool and sunny out. Perfect time see how Pug does, in a crowd, these days
They're (potential ILs) big gardeners, and problem solvers, read that as likely codependent-ish, but in a charming, Southern way. The dad suggested lettuces, etc for my shady growing patch. I'm happy to look forward to crunchy lettuce without driving to the store.
The Lady Wife grows flowers, tomatoes and has to stop herself from seed starting in January, filling their home too early with plants. The Dad grows tons of hot peppers and first bonded with DD24 over a hot pepper eating contest. He also makes custom dehydrated spice blends, but intends to dial back the heat this year. I hope he doesn't, but mostly listened.
Lady Wife gave me suggestions for low growing flowers to replace grass/weeds in large areas....we have enough in common, just with gardening, to be comfortable and not bored, but I'm over seed starts I can't toss in the ground. At least for a while.
I enjoy reading about yours though!
