'puter net connection worked for half a day and went down again. sigh.

thanks for the advice on the thank-yous, all.

I too have more oregano than i know what to do with most friends who garden also have a ton. sage seems to work well as a leafy veg when stewed w/ other stuff.

edibles box now has angelica; sorrel and chicory are going. i mix them w/ a box of store-bought greens; otherwise they are a bit too much as my salad. dandelions got a head start when i was incapacitated; will i ever catch up? did try eating a few; getting them young is the key. another front yard leafy green.

put down a 50 lb. bag of pool-grade diatomaceous earth last fall to get the ants under control. i had to quit putting seeds in the ground, they were so voracious. seems to have helped, but some are still there. anyone know where i can get bulk boric acid?

moles last year took out every scrap of green fennel; a mentioned to a friend that it got eaten and she gave me a bunch of bronze fennel (which is not the good kind); i sert the bag beside the driveway and the next morning every scrap was gone, right out of the bag. is this something i will never be able to plant again?

bit the bullet and bought a 50 lb. jug of sluggo for the slugs and got rid of a lot. and a few found refuge in some pots. more bulbs gone, leaving only slug trails.

anyone know about a kind of expanding concrete you can put in concrete cracks to help break it up? tree on patio needs to go; has done a number on the concrete.

if you have read this far, thank you ...
