forecast said rain chances today after 11am, starting to rain 8:15am...

they may tolerate cooler temperatures but they're not really going to grow much until it gets warm enough. i don't plant the tomatoes here until towards the end of May, if you are at a higher elevation with risks of frost you may want to wait a bit longer or perhaps you only have a few plants...

i can't as i'll be driving miss daisy for both days this weekend. :) besides i live with her... :) :) :)

i'm hoping with the field to the south of us going back to open field and some trees and shrubs planted will get some more pheasants and bobwhites back. we used to hear pheasants calling all the time and would see them around. haven't seen bobwhites in a much longer time.

i have tried many different kinds of fruitcakes... there's a place up north that i used to hang out and help them and such and they made all sorts of things. :) (see my stubbed toes thread in the beginning...)

when you create a new thread, go to the first post of that new thread and then highlight the address in the address bar (of your browser) and "copy" it and then come back to this thread and make a new "reply" and then "paste" the copied address and then hit "post reply". :) you can "edit" and...
