GOOD A.M. CHAIR, ALL, FROM THE MISSISSIPPI GULF COAST, USA, BRUISED, BRUISED, BRUISED BUT THINGS ARE STARTING TO HAPPEN!!!!

Instead of us griping about our situation with the storm aftermath, we do, not gripe (like New Orleans).

Speaking of New Orleans, did any of you who saw the feed in to a press conference the other day showing Nagin SLEEPING in the crowd???? Typical.

'Baby, it's cold outside' here this morning, took garbage can to street and like to have frozen to death, course D fussed at me cause I was wearing short pants, however, I DID have a jacket on, guess you can say I was 'half warm'.

I have started planning my garden out on paper and plan to put my first seeds in it, greens. I am going to make my tomato thingie out of metal fence posts, SIL said he could secure the bucket between them and I have all the stuff necessary to put it together. I think someone said putting the Big Boy tomatoe in the upside down bucket goes not work? Tomatoes to heavy? I am going to try some being they will be tied to the fence post, maybe have to use three of them on these plants. I will get you pictures when we get them up, hope it works as I always plant 18 plants each year (supply the neighbors) and two rows of Okra for the same reason, long rows too.

We go grocery shopping today, can sneak a few extra goodies out before D catches me. Told D last night we needed to get a cow as much milk Jason drinks, course you KNOW who would be the official milker, yep, ME!

House, er Shack cleaning time, I am going to have to pour some concrete just off the porch and a walkway to the house, I douse this place with crude when I make that walk to and from. D did get me new vacuum cleaner and that helps.

All have a good day, a pleasant one, a happy one.
Toby

Good Morning All. It's cool in Central Texas today. Waiting for Roomey to make some coffee so my brain will come alive.

Toby, I'm thinking of planting normal sized tomatoes in my hanging pots plus the cherry and grape size. I got some seed catalogs and oh, all the great looking tomatoes. One is called a Pineapple something, it's an heirloom, and I'm thinking of trying to grow some. However, I've been told heirlooms are suseptable to things, but they taste great. Heck, I'll try. I also want to try growing potatoes in straw and of course the tire thing. Roomey has his order in for yellow squash and kentucky wonders. I'll use the back fence to let them crawl on.
