Hetty, in my experience messages only come from posts within threads when @dutchlady1 is used. Not articles.

Ha! I spend a lot of time in my garden. It has taken much work thru many years to get it the way I want it to be. And I spend hours walking with my dog for exercise. Even in the winter.

If course then I have to come and post about my day here at ATP. Rolling on the floor laughing

You could take a tablet, or smart phone with you when you walk, and continue texting. Have to keep your first place status. Lots of competition.

Hilarious! Hetty.

Rita has posted beautiful images of roses, daylilies, and bulbs; and a lot of good, useful information on tomato growing in her garden, too. I tip my hat to you.
It’s okay to not know all the answers.

Why thank you Debra. I do very much enjoy my garden and I like to post pictures and talk about what's going on here in the garden. Lately (these past few years) I have really, really been into the vegetable gardening and very active in the Edibles Forums. My tomatoes have been really great!

I will second this. And she does threads of her roses, bulbs and veggie gardening with lovely photos and great information. She also does a run down of what tomato varieties she's tried each year & how they stacked up for her. Thumbs up
