You're welcome, Bob got it first, I was just saying it's now part of the Holly family, but sure looks like one.

Today was better than normal for a lawn mowing day.
It was about half as painful as normal when I mow the lawn.
I had to beat the rain. Dummy me put fertilizer and lime down about a week ago and that damn grass jumped up 6 in. happy and dark green.

Still got my spring cleaning of the lawn and flower bed cleaning to start.
It just started raining again.

Jack, fertilizer always makes grass very fast. My bro was cutting his twice a day 4-5 years ago.

 

[Layback Bear]

I know fertilizer makes plants grow faster and better.
I was using some left over fertilizer from a few bags and one was very high in nitrogen and wam oh. Their is a good chance the lime did it's thing because the ph was very low.
It was kind of a bunch of left overs of fertilizer I mixed up so it wouldn't go to waste and the combination sure worked.
I usually use a lower nitrogen fertilizer with more iron added.
It turns the grass greener but doesn't make it grow so damn quick.

Iron makes grass greener
Nitrogen makes grass greener and grow quickly.

I use a lot of Jerry Bakers methods.

Well today was without power for a few hours, they've been putting new poles up to take the electric cables, my phone line is also fastened to the same pole.

Compared to the pole that was there originally the new one is several feet taller and now instead of the wires being separate they are all wound into one thick cable, it looks a lot neater plus it's much higher up now so you can't see it when you first look out the window, you have to be right up to it and looking up, brilliant.

They should have been changing the pole in the neighbours garden but the ones on the other side of him wouldn't allow the engineers to drive up the drive with their lorry. It's a block paving drive, just hope the pole lasts as it's not in the best condition think it's been there since the 1960.

After more than 24 hours of eating an expire sausage (since January; I decided to cook it yesterday morning). Nothing has happened to me. AFAIK, it the food doesn't contain any water or liquids in it (IDK if sausages have liquids in it), then it will be safe to eat. I remember this on a UK-based show (forgot the name), they even cooked an expired noodles that expired 6 years ago and the only difference was the taste.

 

[Britton30]

Sausage has a lot of liquid in it, mostly in the form of fats but also water bound in the meat and fillers. Water does not have to be present for spoiling to happen. Sickness causing microbes can grow and feed without water present.

Dried food such as jerky or dried fruits have less chance of spoiling due to less water but also have lots of salt or sugar added as preservatives. Given time though both can rot, decay, spoil and plain go bad.

Very dangerous. Please don't do it again.

Well, thanks for that information. When I was young, I always watch them educational shows day to night. I just watch everything that includes science in it. There are sometimes when I'm watching shows about Physics and not realizing that it was Physics; I was still at around pre-school at those times.

I know it's dangerous and I'm not gonna do it again (hopefully), but I'm not a fan of throwing food away so I just decided to cook it. The only time that I wasted food this year when a Carbonara spoiled last night since I forgot to place it back the fridge. Luckily it was just a handful of it.
