Some very enjoyable garden description are appearing here lately; thank you to the author-gardeners.

Thanks to Janie, gnu, and Kat too. It's a big deal for us.

Janie- yes, we are within an easy drive to Johnny's. We also buy a lot of plants and seeds from Fedco Seeds.

We enjoyed an early morning walkabout. Some of our early orchard and woodland plantings have really begun to take hold. Morning is a good time to see the future possibilities.

I'm learning to watch for tasks with which friends can help us. That's another big step forward. Now that we have friends who are eager to help we have to look at our work load in a very different way, and match the task to the helper's interest and ability. We've been working on our own since the beginning; it's a wonderful problem to have to focus on where we can use the help we've needed for so long.
