    a mere shadow of my former self ;)

    awesome steve. I am still trying on my weight watechers. My total is 22 pounds. I even went down a size. I need to keep at it though cause my biological clock wants me to eat a bit more and sleep a bit more now that it is getting cooler. (and by cooler I mean 80+ degrees)

    preparing garden spot have questions????

    whoodat has a really great idea here. I have a friend who was so impressed with my garden that he started his own. So he just plopped down some cheap top soil from Lowes on top of the grass without even tilling. So needless to say they had a horrible season and are really discouraged by the...

    What early flowers for bees?

    How about zinnia or butterfly weed? The zinnias bloom only after about 12 weeks from seed so you could get them going early hand have real early bee, I would think. I have seen a ton of bees around them, the butter fly weed and the tithonia. But the tithonia took a while to bloom.

    Growing Soybeans--how productive are they?

    I planted my soy beans in Late April/Early May. Thanks for the advice though. I really want to get them to grow cause of the long hot heat here, I think they could be the most productive of all the summer veggies.

    Growing Soybeans--how productive are they?

    I tried very unsuccessfully to grow them this year. I want them so bad but only got spindly little plants that produced little or nothing. I also got very poor germination. My seeds were from park... so maybe I will try a different variety next year.
