Long time no hear from!

Hello, and it's been a while. Somehow a few days of not posting turned into a few months. All is well my way, but all is also busy — there were some papers to write for graduate school, houseguests in April, Easter, moving my oldest, a University of Southern Mississippi student, home for the summer, my 18-year-old's graduation and everyone being home for the summer. This summer, I am the only one still in school, but I am working in some fun by helping with my daughter's tennis team and plan to help with Vacation Bible School at church.

I started that Lasagna Garden. It started out organic but I have cheated with the addition of Expert Plant Food, found at the local Wal-Mart. I have some plants growing but I think I have to keep building up the organic content to make for a better patch of soil next year. But I do have blossoms on the squash, cucumber and hot banana pepper plants.

Out front, I added some Sonset Lantana, Radtko double knock-out roses and purple easy wave petunias, along with some mint in a pot. To me, there are few things as good as iced tea with crushed mint on a hot day. I'll take pictures as soon as the rain stops.
