Hey my friends! Sure miss coming in here and chatting with all my friends. Still without a computer at home but I'm getting alot done in and out of the house. lol My spring cleaning is finally done but only because I'm not spending 10hrs. a day on the computer. I'm doing just great here thou and hope my friends are all in good health as well. My garden is doing so well that I'll be starting my canning this weekend with my tomato sauce. Already chopping/freezing green peppers the size of... well dang it, I don't know what to compare them to lol...the largest measures a foot long and about 5 inches across. My corn doing so good that I'm getting tired of eating it so freezing the rest. Don't even want to go there with the potatoes. -rolls eyes- I'm giving them away, there is so many. The wild animals are also helping themselves to them. Carrots are being eaten as fast as they ripen as well and the cherry tomatoes are the size of golf balls. Wish someone would of told me banana peppers were so productive..over 30 of em picked so far from the single plant. My wildflower garden is doing better this year as well. The wild animals/insects tell me so. 3 rabbit nests in it and the resident doe hides her twin fawns in it while she goes off foraging. Seen a baby mole scurrying across the drive this past weekend and picked it up to show my daughter. She was fasinated by it's almost non-exsistent eyes and short tail. It was scurrying all over me till I let it go in the woods. lol Gotta head out now being my time is up on the computer here at the library. Hope everyone is doing fine and their gardens are as productive as mine has been. Love ya and miss ya'll!

Why hi there gal! Glad to see you here and have missed you're presence here...Hey is there anyway you can smuggle Tigger to the library so he can write to his pals Pyewacket and Kissy? Hehee I've been busy too, as you know from our emails...first with getting my new bed, assembling it...still have a lot of rearranging around of things..now also busy writing out my grant proposal which is due Sept 15....want to get it done earlier though. I've done my own planting..know it's late in the season, but growing things indoors, mainly herbs, but trying my hand with planting some flowers like marigolds...I was all set to see about growing a perpetual food garden INDOORS too like tomatoes until I found out the stems and leaves are toxic to kitties...might keep the seeds aside for planting next year and could place them on my fire escape outdoors. Miss ya too and hope you can get that "D" drive you need REAL soon for your computer

Hi blackbriar, Good to hear from you. You are a busy busy person. You really do have a green thumb when it comes to gardening. I've been busy on myLot, busy with knitting an afghan and also work away from the house a couple of days a week. Also really hung up on watching the olympics. When they are over, I'll accomplish more in the house and do things I really need to be doing..lol Take care and have a great week, carolbee

Glad to hear from you hon. I'm happy that you are doing ok. Your garden sounds wonderful. I don't get to have one because I have two dogs that will dig up anything and everything they can. Fortunately hubby deals with a lot of farmers in his job, so I get free produce all the time. Take care sweetie.
