Trish is gonna shoot us for taking this over....I'm hiding!

While keeping up with a gaggle of children at the park (not just mine, mind you), someone commented at what a good job I was doing with them all talking at the same time and going in all different directions. I grinned and told her that she should see what I do for a living...

Hah! Too funny, Trish!

Okay, back to on topic...(I hope)

Ehhh- I was afraid that my little story could be taken as I was referring to you all as children.

It wasn't my intention, really!

More like herding cats!

I'm hoping to qualify for that 'tip' badge soon!!

But, but, we all ARE children! That's why we come here to play, Trish! :>)

Shoe (off to load for mkt) Happy Day All!

Mama and Papa Whittinger are a lot younger than some of us "children" and they still do a great job of keeping us in line!

We prefer to just be one of the gang...


...who happen to have the keys to the house!

That would be it.
I sent in some tips. : )

Yes ma'am.

Who better to hold the keys to the house? You and Dave are the "Leaders of this Gang" ... we'd just be a "lost group" without you! And you wouldn't want some of us to be in charge of the keys. Once I sent a bunch of house (and car) keys to the dump with the weekly trash ... but, I was a lot younger and not so absentminded then. It was interesting though ... explaining how our house keys, the keys to both of our vehicles, my mom's house and car keys, and two of our friends house keys got thrown in the trash.

No keys for Lin.

Yeah, you'd have to padlock them around my ankle or something!

Where do we send the tips?

Send them to me Charleen!

Are you being Sneaky Weeds??? No, I know you wouldn't be bad!

OK, I got caught!

Trish said:I'm adding fun random gardening tips to the homepage, and I need your help!

For everyone who sends me 5 or more tips, you will get a special "tip" badge- proudly display your contribution to the site by helping I'll even do stages- the more tips, the greater your badge/title!

What am I looking for?
~Any garden related tip- from the simple ("Annual means that the plant will only live for one year. Perennial means that the plant will come back year after year"), to the more advanced and plant specific. From seed to clean up.
~I am *not* looking for recommendations at this time. Please don't send those.

How to enter
1. Follow my directions
2. Send me a Tree-Mail with the subject : Tips
3. Do NOT send me more than one separate Tree-mail! If you want to add on to your tips, great! Just reply to the same Tree-Mail.
4. I/we withhold the right to not use a tip that you submit. Duplicate entries will count toward your goal, but will only be used once. First come, first served (to the best of my ability).
5. Kindly use correct punctuation and complete sentences whenever possible. Call me lazy, but I don't want to have to redo work that has already been done unless absolutely necessary.

Let the fun begin

5, Honey, I'm lucky to have one!!
AW! Weeds you know I love ya, I haven't let Charley eat you yet....

Ha, just cause I am too far away. Just put that thinking cap on.
