I like those quotes, too. New gardening catalogs are arriving with every postal delivery, and I ran across an envelope with several packets of seed while culling last year's garden mags...lol I've got to get better organized but feeling eager to plan this year's containers. Happy New Gardening Year! josh

Thanks for your ideas. As far as a tradition, we would like to make it somethiing consistant each year with each (future) grandchildren. My children had a very unconsistant Grandmother (not my side)! and would sometimes get their feelings hurt by this. I like the idea of a sum of money, and perhaps a small gift. Deffinatly a day together!!! Thanks all...

Happy 1st Birthday sweet Camryn! It does seem like yesterday when we heard you were born. I wish you and your family nothing but happiness and good days always. Auntie Granlan :)

No, Jilly is Jillian, a black and white ticked Border Collie/Aussie Mix... so no color of clothing is safe! We had a GP when the oldest was a preschooler..cute tri colored long hair..I really liked him..I'd have another Piggie if I was "allowed".. Well it's okay to harvest until they start growing again..then it changes them..I do let the little green onions go and pull those late late winter to early spring. I don't always leave things in the ground..didn't last year..but did the year before..the carrots (well atleast the one I ate half of) is sweet and carroty.. :) I love getting a few things out of my small garden. It's mostly weeds and hibernating strawberries right now. There is nothing better then popping out to the back yard and getting some dinner components. Some day I'd like to have double the space, one place just for berries..and a few yard birds to help keep the cycle going.
