Yup, we're "cooking with gas" so to speak - rewiring took less than 10 min and we're up and running!
That darned cat!
Vicki, I'm hoping to put together a "tour" of the gardens for the Shade Gardening forum since most of our gardening is done in the shade. I'll let you know when I get it done.
Sandi, it didn't used to be that "cool" for gardening. Twelve plus years of planting trees has finally provided enough shade to drop the ambient temperature in the area surrounding the house by probably 10 degrees and now we finally have shade to park the cars in the driveway! There were many, many years that I wouldn't think of planting during the summer but now it's actually possible as long as you get out there early in the morning and then water, water, water.
