Hi Y'all!

Thought I'd drop in to see how everyone's gardens are going...

I got my first pickings from the garden peas a couple of days ago. Have
more that should be ready to come off today. We were a little slow
getting the garden started this year, as the cooler weather didn't want
to let loose it's grip here in NC. One day it would be in the 70's then
the next night it would frost/freeze! Stayed that way for a few weeks,
had everyone's allergies in a tailspin.

I had planted various hot pepper & bell pepper seeds in some divided
trays, but someone (the hubby of course!) left one of the dogs (the
trouble making one!) out all night, and well...there wasn't any saving
to the trays or the seeds then. I'm guessing I'll have to order some
more seeds from somewhere as I haven't been able to find any plants
locally. Maybe it won't be too late to get a good batch of seeds up and
running. Don't know what I'd do without my peppers!

I had Wyatt out in the flower beds with me not long ago, he thought he
was helping mommy with the weeds, and he wound up breaking off all my
glads! So much for them this year! He broke them down to just above the
bulb.

Glad to see most are still around this group...I've been checking in
from time, but with the kids and trying to finish up planting season and
all (we have over 2100 acres of corn this year!), I don't always have
time to read everything on here, but I do try to keep up when given the
chance. Always trying to learn something new!

Hi, I'm not all that new to this group though! I just come and go a
bit...I'm in the sandhills, inland from the beaches by about 2 hours and
north of the SC border by about 1 & 1/2 hours.
