Slow-But-Steady Progress

For most people that know me, I invented "slow-but-steady". :-) Or so it seems.

The weather has warmed up to the point where planting is appropriate. I don't think we will get any frost, that is for sure.

The plants I am growing from seed are going well and I hope to clear out the planter by the pool this weekend and put in most of the plants for the herb garden.

The Salvia greggii around the pool as taken root very nicely. I'm not sure about the cuttings I took a few weeks ago, but I have not given up hope.

The feral hogs/pigs have been kind to the yard and there is not any new damage to report. It seems that when things are established they will be fine. It's just getting through that newly-planted stage.

I've done a good deal of further research on the pizza oven and I am really psyched about building it. There are so many things to think about, plan, and consider. For instance, one needs to consider the standard winds and make sure that the front of the oven does not face them. I've got a general plan in mind that I need to flesh out.

Other than that, not much to report. The sunset is very pretty tonight it is certainly going to be a very nice weekend in San Antonio...
