Hi Mike! Sent you money via paypal. Can you please delay shipping to me as late as possible? We just got another 2 1/2 FEET of snow and there is no way I will be able to plant anything for quite some time now. And I'm not sure how much storage space I have to keep everything in a dormant state Don't think spring will be here for a while now, but we should have some good moisture when all this melts. Sure am getting tired of shoveling snow and don't like snow banks 6 ft high Too much work throwing snow that high!

Michael, you are warmer than we were today. Was 68 here, but we start moving into the 70's tomorrow. I'm not sure if we will see the 60's again this year or not.

Mike..I would like to add a warmer to my plants . Just in case

We are hanging around the high 40's to high 50's here. Getting down in the high 20's to 30's at night.

4th raspberries and blue berries ship next week.

5th I will try to ship starting on Monday to those i can i have sent word to the new company in Holland to see when i can get the tiger lily's

and the worst news is i found out we have another of out atp family that is with out a job at this moment this person is waiting on an answer on a job they interviewed for. Also there is a guardian angle that has decided to pay for the plants for that individual to help pass it forward. Most all of you dont know because i have not said it before but there have a few others do this. I have THE BEST CO-OP PARTICIPANTS AND FRIENDS HERE ON ATP. iN EVERY CO-OP I HAVE DONE THERE IS AT LEAST ONE PERSON THAT IS HELPED FROM ANOTHER WHEN SOMETHING HAS DEVASTATED THERE LIFE BY PAYING FOR SOME FLOWERS TO BRIGHTEN THERE GARDEN AND I AM PROUD TO SAY THE PAY IT FROWARD!!!!

i will keep you informed!!!

Ouch Mike, I feel your pain! Hurry up and take the meds, I can't stand this pain.

Dentures?! Noooooooo!!!, don't go there!!! I don't know anyone personally who did well with dentures. Everyone I know with dentures ended up not wearing them.

have to diagree Woofie dentures was the best thing I ever did for myself !! if they fit right there great compared to being in pain all the time ! but I have to say if you can its best to keep you own

I do not have dentures yet, but am headed in that direction. Will resist as long as I can. My parents both got dentures at 30 years old, and they have/had no issues with them. My Mom still wears them, and my Mom is in her late 70's. My father died at 65, still wearing his all the time. My grandma did stop wearing her dentures, around the time she was 90. Then she just started eating softer foods. Soft fruits, veggies, mashed potato's, cereals, grains. She would make chicken into chicken salad with finely ground meat, and tuna salad. The other alternative, implants, at $1500 her tooth, is just to expensive for me. I would rather buy more plants and do garden swaps, and wear dentures

I have/had something called TMJ. It has to do with a disc in the joint of the jaw and it caused me to have an ear ache for over 12 years. I had my teeth pulled in 1996. I was terribly swollen for over a week and received no relief from the ear ache. After the swelling went down, I have not had an ear ache since. I clenched my teeth. I could control it during the day but not at night when I was asleep. I had tried the mouth pieces and they were $1500.00 ea. and I could completely bite through one in a week. My DH already had dentures and suggested that I keep some of the bottom teeth and do a partial on the bottom. It took about 6 months but I can not even tell now that they are dentures. This may not be right for everyone but I am so glad that I did.

Jeri

think that is where im headed before long saying pulling all my teeth has me in hot water due to an innuendo but honestly i have so much pain and so many teeth i think someone would rather see my just get rid of them to be mostly pain free....people tend to take things in bad directions...dental work is so expensive i have insurance but still the root cancel is costing well over 400.00 and pulling and implant(with having to graft bone to upper before the implant so far is 300. and thats just bone graft not the screw the tooth will be around 1500. and he is talking 2-3 more implants. Soo all of you that read my posts stop taking them in a way other then they were meant to be same on you!!!. i am talking pain and money here!!!!! If we cant stop with this i will have to restrict chatter on co-op threads like so many others. i have got to know you all so well i hate to have to do that.


mike

Mike, Payment on the way! Obviously will take a couple of days but on it's way.

We gardeners are a special bunch, aren't we?

I'm glad that everything is due to arrive at Mike's sorting house. I spent the day building 2 4'X20' raised beds with pine logs and hay lined walk paths between. It's a good spot and I think I can get 4 more between those and the driveway. Beds are 1/2 full of walkway dirt and used goat bedding. I'll add 3 inches of mushroom compost and some wood ashes this week. 1 of those beds is getting the strawberries as,soon as they get here.

Oh Phillip
If you only knew how bad my house it right now i would make anyone's head spin if i get a few min ill take a few more picks to post sense the last time i have added a few things The craziness is just building i wounder how far i can push till it all pushes back???

AND i have not got the bulbs from Holland the plumeria variegated. I do have to go tonight and buy paper bags to divide bulbs in to and more packing tape ALWAYS need more tape!!!! i think i have to sit for a few hrs and feed bills in to shredder i dont think i have enough shredded paper. You think mabe i should pay them first ??
