Hey Granny!

Haven’t abandoned you, just busy, busy. My long time right arm got another job, at the school, 9-2 instead of 8-5:30, five days a week instead of six, with the possibility of becoming full time/benefits. Can’t blame her, but I sure do miss her!

Meanwhile, everybody and their brother is planting a fall garden. Not a bad thing but I can’t keep up! They usually don’t even start planting until now, and I’ve already sold out of cabbage and broccoli 3 times, and the 4th set is selling evn tho it’s too small. And is it ever HOT here! Supposed to cool off tom—80 instead of 90—ha, ha. We have plenty of collards! The mums are about to pop and the first set of pansies came in this week,@ 2000 that had to be transplanted—they’ll be ready in about a month.

Besides the normal lunacy, my computer and roadrunner have conspired to convince me that cold molasses is the same thing as blazingly fast. NOT! Even when I can get on, half the time it kicks me off. RR’s best suggestion is to unplug everything, wait, and then plug it all back in. Shaking head.

Miss you and all my FRiends. Maybe it will slow down next month! (Not holding my breath!)

The two of you give me hope, for the country.

It is wonderful that fall gardens are being planted, they will be needed.

Work in a nursery is meant to be fun.

Yes, I ducked, as it would be fun, but one of the hardest jobs there is out there.

I would hate it if you had both written and said it was slow and people were not going to plant a garden for the winter.

Stay safe and keep on selling plants.
