It should be. We pick up bags from WalMart up here in Maryland for about $12/bag. One bag covers roughly 2500 sq feet, but both Maryland and Florida Ag depts say to apply one bag to 5200 sq feet (prevent run off in to waters).

If applied at the coreect rate, it can be put down at any time of the year. Seems to sell out quickly.
Thanks

I snuck her some Chinese chicken wings for lunch.
I'm going back at 6 to see if I can sneak in a steak and a baked potato.
But it's occured to me that I'll need a good knife to cut it up for her.
So I'm leaving now. Gotta stop and buy some cutlery.

You’re an awesome sweet son!!

Hello roommates.
I'm back up in Georgia.
8 hours of driving in a thunderstorm system....
I'm up here to see my mother.
I had to bring my trusty old truck. The one mom CAN'T get in or out of. Because Kelly wants to use my car since she has a tiny convertible and it's supposed to storm all week while I'm gone.
So I'm here. But I can't take her anywhere.
I guess that's ok. Because that also means she won't get injured.
Hey there Ed, nice that you are visiting your Mom again. You could always play board games or cards with her. Although I cannot remember if she would be able to. But those kind of games are always good for spending time and having fun at the same with someone.

250m altitude, 800 ft up on the moor are the remains of an 1800 year old Roman fort. I have no idea why they thought it was a good idea to build there, but it must have been bleak even then.

It’s in an amazing state of preservation . The RAF gave us a fly past in 4 fighter jets while we were there (no photos - too fast!) and we saw a Raven fighting a Hen Harrier too.

a house bunny. I have to make sure she's safe too...Sorry it took two quotes. I hit the wrong key because it's getting dark and did you know? Tomorrow is national Leprechaun day!
Lol. I don't know how to do that on the mobile app. And being Mom to a house bunny is perfectly fine. At least she won't back chat. [emoji23] [emoji23] I bet you the Leprechaun put you up to the national leprechaun day. Didn't he?

I’m sure the most important thing is she gets to see you. How’s she doing?

Looks like most of the UK has had good weather today, it's been bright and sunny here again.
Lola wouldn't stay out in the sun but he did venture as far as the door into the garden a few times (well secured so it was jammed open), he would sit there looking out into the garden but wouldn't step over the threshold.:rolleyes:
I had a serious talk with him about how he has to realise that he is a tortoise and is supposed to like being out in the sun.
Maybe he'll be a bit braver tomorrow!!

Oh Lola! Even I am spending all the time I can in the sun these days, and I’m not a tortoise!

Good mornooning, roommates! Wishing everyone a Terrific Tuesday from sunny(!) Denmark.

One thing I know I’m going to miss in North America are the old brick buildings of considerable age.

This is the Roskilde Cloister, currently a foundation providing housing to members of the Danish national church (i.e. Lutheran). A priory of Dominican friars stood here from the 13th century until the Reformation. Then it was torn down; the land became the Crown’s property. Later, a 1560 manor built here was converted into a monastery for unmarried Danish noblewomen, which became part of the building we can see today.

Also, this weekend we had a small music festival (the big one, the Roskilde Festival, is the largest music event in Northern Europe and takes place in July). In addition to regular stages scattered around the city, we had these:
