Hi, Susan! Long time, no hear. LOL. That sounds like some SERIOUS tomato growing! Do you have a favorite heirloom tomato for the Deep South?
I don’t know about looking nice around here. I’ve been focused on hard-scaping so I’m behind on weeding and pruning. My DD#2, Melinda, is a Special Ed teacher and she gave us a failing grade on some safety issues. The wall beside a ditch was too low. The ramp up into the Children’s Garden was too steep. And, so on. I pointed out it was the V.I.’s here who built the wall and hauled the dirt to create the earthen ramp and covered it with concrete. But, she pointed out we were “old blind rednecks and roughneck women “so the fact that we can navigate things around here doesn’t count. Since I’ve invested a lot of money in my darling daughter over the years I decided to let her live despite her grievous verbal faux pas. We came to an agreement. I would make the changes she recommended and she would phrase it as “experienced visually impaired ladies accustom to physical labor” in future. I have no issues with being called “blind” or even a “roughneck” but I am not OLD! LOL.
Vickie, I've decided to take your advice. I'm cutting down a bookmark or two a day. There are some unsung talented writers creating those catalog descriptions. A good nursery catalog read to me while I drink my coffee with Belgium chocolate flavored creamer. Can't beat that. I actually WANT to get out of bed in the morning. LOL.
Bonnie, do you have enough of those scented daylilies you mentioned to Jim to sell a few? I've got most of the low-fragrance plants out of my Scent Garden. And, I've threatened the others with dire consequences if they use my space as a nursery bed so I'm ready to start putting plants back in.
Does anyone have any adice for "reeter" who posted on the old "Practical Matters" thread? BTW: Vickie, Jim just noticed what you did. LOL. He's a little slow these days, but he gets there eventually. We've been "Phallenged" and "Challanged". What next? Kay*
