Ive been gardening sence the 70s, when I was youngster helping out grandpa and my parents too.
Ive lived in MS for 12 years now, so getting down and dirty at my own current place would be a better way to put it.
As for growing heirlooms from seed.....
This is my 5th year at it.
I know, compaired to some of you, Im still a rookie, and sometimes I feel like a rookie especially after what happened this winter inside my greenhouse.
And yes, we had some of the white stuff this weekend.
4 inches, which is quite alot for down here.
Living in Indy and Michigan years back....that little drop in the bucket of snow wasnt much to me, but at least my kids got to make snow man.
For my 5 yr old, it was her first, and did she have some Fun!
later...

Hi, Blane! Good to see you here.
Sounds like you've got more snow on the ground than we do here in Mid-Michigan! Where did you live in Michigan?

Hey, Blane.
Spent lots of time camping in the UP as a teenager in the 60's. Familiar with the Marquette area.
Never traveled in the UP in the winter, tho'.

Well the winters up there are just about as bad as winter can get. I hated it! I put in orders to get out of there, every month.... Then Desert Storm kicked off....and Away to Germany I went! |
