i hope it works out. :)

i've sent out a few things in bubble pack and they've done ok as far as i know. today though i did mail a bunch of beans in a box. :)

@digitS' and me (or at least that is what i was writing about :) ) are speaking of overwintering them which is different from planting and letting seeds fall in the fall and then having those seeds sprout in the next spring...

there was likely a small tornado not too far from us but i don't think anyone was seriously hurt. damage evaluation on-going. a lot of action from the storms of last night.

whew! looks like we get a break, no rains for a bit so things can soak in. the field across the road is flooded so that's a good indicator of how saturated the area is for us... i'm sure the south field is also somewhat flooded and the River Nile (a long drainage channel along the edge) is...

last night was ok here for us but some people don't have power at the moment due to storms last night. plenty of rain here with more chances to come yet this next few days so we're back under flood watches and flood warnings. this was an interesting line in the flood warning/watch notice for...

... rock gardens ... <wry grin>

when you walk Nancy around the neighborhood or at the doggie park and see someone gardening or walking their doggie ask them and even if they don't have it sometimes they may know someone who does. :)

warmer has certainly been nice but the rains keep coming and mud season is here. we have flood watches and warnings again for the next several days. i keep wishing i could send this to the Colorado Rockies to help them refill those reservoirs... i'm not sure when i'll be able to get out and...

i hope ok, but i'm guessing like a cat without a scratching post...

It is a long ways from here. The patch we have was planted a long time ago and isn't doing that great now but that is because i don't do much to it anymore since we don't eat it ourselves and none of the people we used to give it to are alive any more. I will chew on a few stalks here or there...

a new week and i even slept in almost until i had to get up for taking out the trash instead of waking up at 3am. woohoo! :) it was pretty warm outside too and only a bit of rain which is supposed to hold off for the rest of the day until tonight.
