Ok folks, it's only 26 days until the Middle Tennessee Plant Swap. For all you new members, lurkers and procrastinators this is our biannual event where you can score BIG on free plants and all garden related stuff. Saturday morning October the 15th is the date. If you have any questions please email me at jtoothmanindadj@comcast.net. I'll be posting more info as the days go by.

Okay I'm in---------- hi BOV,
I can't wait for the 15th, I'm getting ready, bringing plants, food, and family and planning to camp. I'll have to talk to jan and get a spot reserved.
I hope everybody is as jazzed as I am. I really can't wait to see all my friends again.
Jeff, how are the renovations going? Are y'all done?
Does anyone have any special wants for the swap?? I'm going to try and get a list up of what I can bring plant wise.
See you at the river,
Marianne

How far away from 26W CFL?
Q

It is too close. I would think if you raise your fixture a bit higher - you can actually provide light for 4 violets with the same bulb. 2 days is not enough to say. Your violet will not die - but it can become less attractive - bleached tight leaves, wrapping the pot. You give it too much light for too long of a time. Try 10 inches and 12 hours - and if you see the leaves stretching to the light - lower it down to 8" or increase the time. If you do not have the timer - get one in WM for 5 bucks - saves your time.

My goal this week is to see if I can make 12 loaves of bread instead of just 10. If I can increase my output a little then I will increase my income from this small extra income scheme! Usually I make bread on Thursday and Friday evenings after work and try to put one recipe of dough in the fridge on Wed. night. The Country French loaves were rather big, so maybe I can get three out of the recipe instead of just 2. Plus, that recipe is really -- I mean really -- inexpensive to make. Chicken Lady said she could pick up more 25# bags of flour for me as it is near her daughters school! Otherwise I would have a very difficult time getting away from work to travel to get more flour. She knows I would do what I could to help her. Teresa

Are you quilting this weekend? Memorial Day May 26-28

LOL!!!!!! I can't tell you how many times I type guilt for quilt and have to correct it!!! Blowing raspberries at Teresa for having working AC lol!!! please show us some pics of your tea wallets - I have started on a purse over a year ago and still haven't finished it. Yep, we are having T-storms and 85% humidity, tomorrow is going to be the worse. We are about like Altamonte, Fl - far enough inland to miss the worse of the storm. We need the rain so much - but the farmers are still harvesting onions. Sometimes in March we have winds that are stronger than I remember the tropical storms in FL. Donna, I remember going to the movies and the mall everyday for a week when we had the hurricanes in a row lol!!! I think being without AC is much easier than totally out of electric. If you have ever watched "Mayberry" you know what Glennville, GA is like lol. One friend moved here when his wife's fam needed help and he told DH it was like moving to a third world country lol!!!! Karlene, I still know people that have, but do not use their AC. NOT ME!!!!!! Rosa

Recipe of the Day November 26
Q

This was posted at the cooking forums. I wanna try, but can't get a question answered re: draining the chile's. Anyone made these? Green Chile Squares =================== We love simple recipes, and this one certainly qualifies. With only three ingredients it whips up in under five minutes and then bakes unattended, making it perfect for parties. It can also be made up to 24 hours ahead of time and served hot, cold, or at room temperature. 2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese 2 cans green chiles 4 well beaten eggs . Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Sprinkle the cheese and chiles in the bottom of a 9X13 baking dish. Pour the eggs over the top. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown and firm. Cool to room temperature and then cut into squares. Preparation Time: 5 minutes

Hey Marianne! Our floor is going down in the morning. Thank goodness!!! Beyond that, there is still plenty of painting, quarter round and stuff to finish but the floor is the BIG thing. Thanks for asking. This has been five months af a nightmare.

I'm getting jacked about seeing all you guys but Lavonne isn't going to be able to make it. She's having some nerve stuff going on and may require neurosurgey if the regeneration treatments don't work. She's a trooper though.

Now we're looking at 19 days and by the lack of posting, it doesn't seem that there are too many of you folks interested in coming to the Swap!
I know that everyone is busy but it would sure be nice to see just how many of you are actually going to make it.
After having around 100 folks and thousands upon thousands of plants at the Spring Swap I would figure that we should have nearly as many at the Fall one.

I know that a lot of you will be there and you just take for granted that we all expect you to be but for the new folks and the lurkers...let's give them an idea of what to expect.
