Who has been here the longest?

Soooooo, you need to find something that may relate to us "nawtherners" but really doesn't belong.

Saponaria might apply if you are referring to Sapindus saponaria

However, Saponaria officinalis is found throughout N America.

How about 'Sweet Saps? After all there isn't much maple syrup tapping for the southerners. Even in Arkansas there is only the shortest of time frames it can be accomplished (if at all).

Some of the biggest maple sugar operations can be found in WV and VA, so I guess that leaves us out of the whole "southern" sweet pea crowd.

I am just fine with calling people who live in the north Nawthurners. It's the same as Northerners, but without the drawl. If Nawthurners don't work, then what about Friends? Probably not what @seedcorn is looking for, but he deserves his very own special moniker .......... Amigo.

Friend how great a name is that !!!!!!!!!!!

I went out this morning to take a few photos just for you @seedcorn since you can't seem to get enough. You keep asking for more.

First an Azalea to help brighten your morning.

Then an Asian Pear with some fruit setting on

Then some turnips. Not long before I'm eating turnip greens. My wife enjoys them more than I do but they are OK.

And some potatoes. Hilling these up again is on today's agenda.

@Ridgerunner I'm jealous. I planted potatoes but nothing is breaking ground yet. Nothing better than a mess of new potatoes for supper!

Here azaleas are always blooming Mothers day.

My potatoes got burned a bit on that last frost, but it was minor damage. I did not cover anything and even the lettuce came away clean, it was just the potatoes and that really did not hurt them.
