Hello everyone, I am checking in because a few of us heard from Dave, the young man who started this thread years ago. He has had some serious problems and has had surgery and during his recovery there were complications, he also lost many of his email addresses and if you think he is ignoring you, please do not, he is just having a difficult time remembering. The medication he is on is not helping the memory either. He is doing very well and hopefully he will be as well as can be expected soon. He misses his gardening but he has been "grounded" for the time being and that to him is the pits, big time. Please send your prayers and good thoughts to him and understand if he does not respond immediately.

We planted 371 Norway spruce and concolor firs yesterday and laid the irrigation pipe. It is that time of year here on the Christmas Tree Farm and all we do now is pray and water. There is nothing else to do except the regular fertilizer, etc. The greenhouse is full of Christmas and Holiday Cactus cuttings, begonias, jasmine and orchid cactus. Just waiting for them to grow before I put them up on eBay or Etsy. This is my slow time for sales because people are more into their outside gardens than they are in houseplants, so I am getting some welcome rest and enjoying what little Spring we had. I think it is winter again today. It was really cold cutting daffodils for the stand this morningl. The wind is so strong and very cold off the ocean. Our temps are usually cooler because of that. I had a heavy coat on. Water temp is in the 40s. Brrrrrr.

That is about all for here. It is busy and I must go for supplies. Keep this thread going please, I know Dave will eventually be strong enough to read it again soon. Thanks, JB Happy Spring.
