Notes from the Virginia Blue Ridge:

First of all, Alice, great to have you back in yer gardens... Heals lots of stuff that nuthin' else can heal... But Zone 4??? That is brutal!!! We're 6B and that is cold enough, thank you...

We are finally eating yellow squash and zucinni out of the garden... The P-Vine fried up some tonight... It was extra yummy seein' as it's been since last year since we've had it...

We have decided to "deer fence" another 2-3 acres that will include our pond field and our house and the planting around it... I realize that it will be another big project but once done there won't be much left that the sumabiches can eat... Last night they came right up to the house and mowed down several hostas... I mean, down to the ground... That was it... We finally have realized that we will have no peace until we can keep the deer away from all of our gardens...

That's it fir now...
