Dina:
Hi everyone! I wanted to tell you that Otlan says "hi". He is fine, working a lot (he works at a grocery store). There are relatively few cases in his town so hopefully he and his people will be fine. Ala is safe too, working a lot.
Well, I need to go to grocery store myself. It will be "adventurous". I had not left the house in days and this is the first coldish day I will be out. I need to take warm clothes. Well, be safe everyone! I will be back later.

Greetings from sunshine! I had breakfast outside today. At the beginning of the week I had to scratch ice from the car's front window and now you can sit outside short sleeved.
How was your "adventure", Dina?
This week, I want to plant some seeds for vegetables. This time not in the ground, but in extra pots. Almost all my other vegetables have been destroyed by snails. I don't want to use poison or salt there. But even inside I'm not good with plants. They almost always die in my care. Once I even killed a cactus. ;D
My mother wouldn't like me near her plants, when I was a kid. She said, you can water them and help me, but don't touch them too long, or they will die from your aura or something.
I hope this time I will succeed. If not, I will have to buy them again.
On Easter Sunday we will do barbecue. I will eat meat again, yeah! I did without meat and chocolate during fasting. The meat was easy, but the chocolate.... I admit I have sinned once or twice. That's why I chose two things, so that I succeed at one at least. LOL
Fcrate:
BBQ! Go you. :D
Had the problem with snails last year. Even the extra pots won't help, they'll climb inside. What you need is to make some sand piles, maybe a small bucket (2 kg or so) every 2 meters. Cover them with methomyl combined with molasses, they'll feed on it at night, and in the morning remove the dead ones. A pile will last for maybe 2 days. After the snails are gone you can dispose of the methomyl contaminated sand. Good luck :)
Regenbogen:
@Fcrate. Thanks, but no, I don't want to kill them. I feel sorry for them. They just want to feed.
I'm going to put the pots on the terrace, far from any grass, where they don't go usually.
And I don't put poison anywhere, because it also poisons the cats and other animals. Also it rains a lot here, so there is a big chance, that the poison gets into the ground and our drink water.
And I can't buy anything I don't already have at home for gardening at the moment and possibly for the next few weeks, because the shops are closed for private people.
So I have to do with what I have here.
If I don't succeed, I have a neighbor with a greenhouse. She always has good vegetables and more than she can eat alone.
Next year I think I will construct a greenhouse too. Then I'm not so dependent on the weather and temperature outside.
We painted the stones today after the easter eggs. But only with water colour, because that's what we had here. I found some varnish. I will try to coat the stones with it, so maybe the colour stays. Wasn't bad. Better than on paper or the eggs. I never did that before. Was fun.
We were very lazy today. Lot of lying on blankets in the grass and enjoying the sun. The big kid and I did some reading.
By the way, I think I did a good Bob Ross impersonation on one of the stones. It was one we got two years ago from a quarry nearby. You can go there with tools and hack away some slate and sometimes you are lucky to find fossils. The small ones, like ammonites you are allowed to keep, but if you find big ones you have to give them to the museum. I painted one with the imprint of some animal's small poo. ;)
