Phew- my ass is gonna be busy- I hope that dog is a garden dog! Anyway have to make some more earthtainers and some more Raised beds.I hear talk that Greeen Sheeep is going to start Square foot Gardening- I started a yahoo Group years ago The Square Foot Gardening Club group that is still going on strong, thanks mainly to me having the fore sight to ask a couple of members to take over moderating the group with 3236 members as of tonight, a real good source when you have questions on SFG. I whole heartedly invite everyone to take a look see!And I hope everyone takes Melinda's Growing Challenge I had a great time with it last year - except for that damn broccolli

that is a lot of freakin' maters! we are trying to figure out which ones the girls liked last year. for sure not black russians:)which one is your favorite?
You know with all those heirlooms, I have to admit that plain old Roma's are probably my favorate
I love that you start some plants for your mom too. What a nice idea.
So you did get the dog?
No dog yet- I kinda think the Kennel owner is a tad flaky- I called her today like she asked before leaving home and she said NO! She made an appointment for her son to go to the doctor. So it will be tomorrow
