bernie

No, I am a night owl and it is hard to sleep sometmes even when I have to get up at 7:30 am. This morning was a morning when I have been sick for several days and didn't realize how sick I was. I slept most of the day away yesterday and just couldn;t go back to sleep. I am having to do a nebulizer every 4 hours at the present time, Atghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Ebnough of that. U don't know about anyone else but I love tomato pie and zucchini pue and tomatoes in general. Whatever you make should be good. I am still debating on what I am bringing but with chicken anything goes.

Don't forget to walk around your property and see what you have to bring. No plants??? How about GARDEN magazines,books, birdhouses,rocks,seashells,driftwood,pretty pots,plant stands, or tools that you no longer need or use. Hit the exchange side of the forum and tell people what you have and what you are looking for.

Tanya,

JoAnne is not coming, but she is making homemade whole wheat bread and a Boursin cheese spread for me to bring. I will also bring a sampling of my current tomatoes if anyone wishes to sample.

I will bring one of my double bucket 5 gal SWC or BWB if you like Tom's description better :>)

Will bring some pics of my bat houses if anyone is interested in doing bat houses. Have had about 600 for last couple of nights. Am trying to figure out how to use the guano best on my garden and yard.

bernie

We have talked about bat houses but not sure how to do it.
By all means bring your tomato samples.Not sure about Bat Guano I m composting dirty duckling straw though!

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!!!!!!

We are from Fort Pierce and would like to come to your plant swap. We have just started on our garden but do have some bromeliads, liriope and flax lilies. I could bring some marinated chicken for the BBQ, or is there something else you would like?
Gayle Koch

Gayle please email from my page for directions.(click my page words in blue,beside goldenpond VBFl 9b and you will see where to email) I think we have more than enough chicken but any thing else you are good at will be fine? Doesn't need to be homemade Publix is there for our eating pleasure.I didnt see any baked beans on the list and desserts are always fun.Bring what you got!
Hope to see you there!!!!!!!

Oh what fun more people from St Lucie county! I just made a potato salad to add to the buffet.
Butterflygardener asked for cookies...sadly, my cookbooks are still packed. Sorry Kat!

I was going to make baked beans until I realized I did not have any ketchup. I do make a mean baked or should we say candied bar be que beab with bacon and sausage but alas I had to resort to the mango key lime squares if they turn our as they are an experiment and baked candied yams with mango and pecans. We may be about 30 minutes late as we are waiting on the squares to decide they are ready and then we will hit the road. Shoyld be there by 4:30ixsh. Had to let friends into Disney this morning and then had to play photographer as it was my best friend's sister's birthday. I am not even suppose to be walking oh wellllllll See you soon, Linda

Kat may be running late too as she has been at the Native Plant Conv.That is ok I'm not making anyone clock in!
Weather is holding up so far, birds and butterflies are happy!

adding Gayle to our list!
