Hello ladies and happy every Holiday I missed. To those of you who do know me, I am back and mentally back on track (I think). To those of you who don't, well I was I am a member, love everyone here. Went away to do some great mission work and had some very tragic things happen. Many hours of therapy later, and actually returning to the Dominican I think I have healed, I am not bitter, sad, or frightened to leave my house any more. I am able to talk about it and I feel that I can share with postive feelings now. But enough of that. Am I to late for April? Please tell me that I can play in April? Max is 4 and we just looked at Co-op preschool. HE is a mama's boy and didn't want to go to big boy school yet. Maryanne~ I have a box for you that I need to send, but um lost your address.. So Merry Christmas when it comes. Ahh. I just don't know what to say or who to say it to because I am scared I will leave someone out. I tried to read as many posts as my brain can handle, but I am sure that I will need some help. Babies and ornaments, tornados and ahhh.. I am not in Kansas anymore. Please feel free to email me with any personals that you'd love to share. I apologize for being gone so long. If there is anything that you want to know email me. If I need to re-join let me know if there is room. Mayanne_ my big sis.. I hope all is well, miss you and thanks for all your support thru this, even though I was a bad lil sis and became an introvert. But guess what? I am back and better. Missed you all Laura.... beans

Hi those are great pics! I finally got two of mine to sprout, so hopefully in a year, (if I don't kill it) I will have some awesome pink bananas!

Velvet bent is used (usually in a mix) with Poa Trivialis for overseeding bermuda putting greens in the fall.......so yes, greens are usually at least 80% sand .......so your looking good in that regard. You also have a great climate for any kind of bent! You need to get that power reel mower though........run down and get it right now ! :-)

I took most of my seedling out for a little sunshine today, one tray I took out later, and came back into the house to rest a bit and fell asleep, that tray got a few hours of sun, but it looks okay. I have almost all of my seedling up potted, but I will have to leave most of them outside for lack of space in the house. I wish I had done better in school, because each year we say 12 tomatoes and 6 peppers are plenty for us, but I just keep missing those numbers. I use to try to plant something on Good Friday to use as a reminder of the reason for Easter and Good Friday. I have gotten away from that practice, I think I want to start doing it again. Some years I would plant a bulb of a bush because some Good Fridays were too early to plant a sensitive plant. I think that I might get away with planting a tomato, or maybe a flower that Madge likes. The next day we celebrate Madge's Birthday, maybe I could buy a plant and we can plant it together. I would have to do all the work, but I think that I would like that. Madge is still having problems walking, and she ask me to drive her around the yard today, but she got cold and wanted to go inside.
