    Man, almost wrecked twice today out making a parts run for a hydraulic motor I'm rebuilding...the Black Locust is in full bloom here in WV, which makes them stand out like sore thumbs in the groves and hedgerows, and they were all catching my eye! Reminded me of the first few summer days after I moved to San Diego, and the honeys were out in force

    Sounds great Dave. You are warmer than us right now but hold on, we'll catch up to you soon. Going out to plant some strawberries in a few minutes.

    Heard there is to be a lettuce shortage, I bought a 6 pack at Lowes
    & planted a few days ago

    betting the 30° night fried it :(
    I guess fresh dandelion greens are on the menu now.

    Long days now, tomatoes in the GH are blooming
    hope to plant garden in a couple weeks
