Talking about mulches----a local Nursery here (where I used to face-paint at their annual fall Fest) called
Chapel Hills Nursery carries "Fine Pines". 2cf bag for $5. I bought 2--but have not yet opened one
to see what it looks like. "Feels" OK through the plastic.....

If you cannot get it anywhere--I can bring you some bags. OR--IF you are still planing to come this way
one day to go to Ikea (and bring me my tote)--I can take you there and you can get some yourself.
It is about 2+ miles from my house.

I hear we had a second serious T-Shower during the night las night. HUH???? I never heard it!
Talk about sleeping like a log.....I thought things looked a bit too wet for just the one T-Shower we had
during the day. Besides--they are saying today on radio, that another 54,00 people lost their power again.
Double HUH???....HUH???....

All day today it has looked like it will rain--just have had a bit of misting so far....

Grateful for what we did get......:o) Gita

The latest on my "monster Cukes"......They are now climbing my shed roof.
And--the sad facts on the status of my Tomatoes--as of yesterday. I could just cry.......
