I put other because like Nyboy, I do it for the pure pleasure of being outside and watching my plants grow. I am mostly about flowers but do some veggies just to keep me 'honest' lol. Best wishes to everyone for a wonderful 2016

You and me Steve! Broke out the winter coats today! I read the 10 day and we're supposed to be 92 next week, go figure.

You bet, I give baskets to our neighbors, kids, MIL, me, anyone who'll have 'em:weeeThanks!
