My birthplace is North Carolina. My mom moved a lot when I was young so I lived between Hanford- Red Bluff, and also some parts of Oregon and I think Washington State

I just changed my avatar picture to a picture of my husband and I from October 2021.

Ha ha ha. I really like the four seasons and Vermont does that beautifully. Well my lunch break is over so I will talk soon. Take good care. It's a pleasure knowing you. I know I keep giving everyone compliments. I just can't tell you how happy it is that I found all of you.

LOL now with all the changes in weather it's 2. It sucks too because I don't like the triple digits for 3-4 or more weeks

Careful @Jae ,

You may not yet have experienced the curmudgeon personality characteristics that come naturally to gardeners.

How DARE you call me a curmudgeon!
My gardening pedigree is impeccable!
Seriously, gardeners are as bad as farmers.
Like here, farmers had a practically perfect growing season and had a PERFECT harvesting season, mild drought and plenty of time to get their crops in, despite that most farmers hire out the harvesting.
Still, we have had years mid November where the crops were wet and not getting to the elevators.

My garden sucked this year but hopefully next year will be so abundant that my entire family will beg me to stop.
