I checked the mail today and there was an envelope there with a couple cascades rhizomes. They look nice and healthy, with new shoots coming out already. They’re resting in the fridge until I get time to get outside and plant them.

Storm Casualties
Not a good week to be garden plants. We had some severe weather roll through, but then again it is spring in Texas. Looks like three of the broccoli, one jalapeƱo, and one of the tomatoes got damaged by the winds. I’ve got one more of the tomatoes still inside, but the rest will have to be re-seeded.

I upgraded the blog software today and while you may not notice anything different, I sure did. I’ve been reluctant to update the software because it’s been a pain to do. I’ve had to customize some stuff, like the Adsense code, Google search, Google Analytics, and some HTML validation steps.
Well, it turns out that none of that is needed any more. The 2.1.x series has a generic HTML widget that you can drop just about anywhere. I just copied the HTML into widgets, put them where they needed to be, and was done. Now code updates don’t require me to crank up vi and get dirty with PHP.
