Estimated agenda hmmmm...... That just might work, thanks. I suppose this summer is better than the engine fire we had in the van last summer, but still, it is getting tiring, summer is "supposed" to be enjoyable.... :eek:

Ouch!

It seems like each and every garden, you learn something new.

Last year - the first year I planted anything - I think we ended up with a total of about 5 tomatoes. This year, it looks like at least 50 tomatoes, plus carrots, onions, beets, lettuce, herbs, potatoes, and hopefully sweet potatoes. Not a bad learning curve eh? :celebrate

That is so great! And each year will get more productive until you are leaving anonymous bags of produce on neighbor's porches in the dead of night because otherwise they point a gun at you and say "Leave, and take your zucchini/tomatoes/carrots/beets with you!"

WendyJ, you have a good heart. I love sharing with people in need, whether it's a financial gift or a cabbage from the garden, seeing how it changes people's lives even if it's only in a small way, is so rewarding.

oh sumi, goats milk ice cream is wonderful smooth and silky. you'll like it I'd bet. i cant wait for you to get goats, there are so many things to try. and wendyj i agree, you're a kind hearted person and they are few and far between now a days. i think most of us can remember being in need and someone coming along out of the blue. God is great
