Your gardens have always been a source of beauty, Rita, so keep up the great work.
Hi Arlene! The name of Arlene was at the height of popularity from 1931 to 1945 so when I meet an Arlene online I can guess at the age, but some are named for aunts so that can throw me off at times.
I've been very impressed with all Jack does so on his lazy days I don't dare complain. He earned his rest. It was so upsetting to see the crows perched just waiting to attack the tomatoes. I'd have given up as well. It's true, the bending and the aches in backs and knees get worse with age but moving does help (I keep telling him that!). Jack also gets great satisfaction from making compost....and does the food shopping, all the laundry, sets the table, cleans up after I make dinner and even does take-out now and then. I get to do house cleaning and caring for 30 gardens.
I'm happy to share in the hopes others will catch the fever of compost.
