Yes, we still have the bees. I've been working on ringing my veggie beds with the wonderful granite my husband brought me home last fall. It's almost finished. This is a shot I took to enter into a backyard makeover contest, I'd love to have the money to do what I want to do out there! It's a long shot, wish me luck :)

I haven't been acutely ill since 2009, however, the residuals are something I'll deal with forever. Economically things have improved enough that I could stop working weekends, which really put a crimp in my gardening, and in our trips north to the Maine ranch. This spring feels like a new start out there.

Thank you all for your warm welcome back!

Your yard and gardens are lovely. You don't need to win a "makeover"! My gardens aren't perfect- but I think of them as paradise! When you are sitting in that chair, overlooking your gardens, you are in heaven! Enjoy!

I did notice that you weren't posting anymore. I miss hearing from some of you when I started. Glad you are back. Missed your old avatar also.

ninnymary, I just want a change, and that is me doing what I love the most, working in the garden. I still have the bee on the borage, it may make its appearance again.


And vfem, I've miss you all in my personally imposed exile :love

Reinbeau..I planted borage this year because of your avatar and Lesa and Hoodat raving about how bees love it! I need bees so hopefully it will work for me also. It's looking very healthy.

An update today, June 1st, almost everything is in except the cucumbers - gotta get them planted this afternoon, after teaching! I'm running out of room, so many seeds....
