Happy Easter to you too, Laura .... and to everyone else. I noticed your post this AM and thought I'd take a look at your pictures. They're beautiful ..... all of them. The one of Maui makes me wish I was there today - weather still pretty bleak here. I'm not sure what to say about your thank you, other than that I'm very glad you found value in my help and feel it has made enough difference in your growing experience you thought it worth mentioning. That type of kindness is always appreciated, so thank you for that ..... very much. DO have a great growing season, too! If you ever have additional questions or there is anything you think I might be able to help you with, I'll put myself at your disposal. Take good care. AL

Happy Easter! I've been on vacation and just now am back up and running. Good to home, all of them, including here. ___________________________________________________________ It just wasn't meant to be. I was on my way to church when BLAM! the car behind me tried to go inbetween the car next to me and me, but instead, he hit the car next to me. Because there wasn't any room. Thank God in Heaven above it wasn't me. I just kept saying, I don't know how he didn't hit me?! By all accounts he should've hit me too??? Honestly. If he had, I'd be in huge trouble. I don't have collision on my 22 year old car; would've had to buy one outright with ??money??? Couldn't be done. I moved my car and rushed over to everyone. No one was injured. He should not have been driving. He never even slowed down. No screeching tires? Nothing. Just wham. Then, as I drove on down the road, late but still going to church, my car overheated. So I let the car sit and cool down. Drove some, sit and cool down, until just now, I am back at home. Wasn't my day to be at church! I really wanted to, but it wasn't meant to be. No ham, potato salad, deviled eggs, carrot cake, etc. :( I am truly blessed and glad that it wasn't my car he hit, and that no one was hurt.

Thanks Rina. Happy Easter to you too. From sunny Florida where many of us are daring to go out and eat dinner at our friends' houses, where hundreds of people seem to be playing golf (everyday, too) -- wishing you a safe holiday and a happy holiday. I always appreciate your experience and wisdom here on "GardenWeb."

Jan, glad you're doing well! I hear you about baking supplies... I'm glad I had huge pantry reserves when this craziness started. The trees are looking like they're as giddy about the prospect of going outside than I am to put them there, LOL! I'm very new to hydroponics. The Krakty method just seemed the easiest one to set up, no air pump or anything. I ordered 2 hexagonal planters from gogrowplanters. I got them from Amazon because I have prime, so shipping is quick and free. I called customer service on he gogrowplanters website, and the lady, Cindy, is absolutely phenomenal. She explained everything. Amy, I hear you! I feel like I'm sharing my house with 2 mutants, lol. Laura, great to hear from you! Yes, I've noticed you typically don't have as many high and lows in Annapolis than I do in Havre de Grace, although we're not even two hours apart. Ken, glad you're doing well. Your post brought back flashbacks of groundhog day, and you made me laugh out loud with the frost roulette, LOL ! Mike, it's so good to hear from you! I hope you feel better, and that your mom is ok! I know with absolute certainty that my trees would have been rotted dead 5 years ago, if it hadn't been for you, your UNWAVERING patience and all your kind advice. I'm very proud to consider you my friend. To each and every one of you, gimme pictures! Let us all live and travel vicariously though everyone else's pictures, LOL! Hopefully this won't last very much longer. It looks like they really want to open the country back up. Fingers crossed! God bless, Atheen PS: I got my Covid stimulus direct deposit yesterday.
