Welcome to our thread. I have gained so much from these lovely people, I'm certain I will not live long enough to utilize even a fraction of the ideas I have harvested from knowledge evidenced here.
“Ah-ha, a kindred spirit. I have planted my gardens for 60+ years and helped my parents garden before that, and I STILL just have to get some seeds in the ground way too early.”
Well I suspect I’m a tad younger than you, but yes, one of my earliest memories is making “mud pies” in “patty pans”. :) Was just speaking with my father the other day and he said that he wasn’t planting much this year, as he’s 78 and now lives alone (my mother “passed over” a year or so ago) but he just couldn’t “not plant” something. :) He’s looking forward to our coming and then we’ll garden together and I’ve promised that *this time* I’ll pay much better attention to what he’s trying to teach me. :)

Again, “thanks and ever thanks”. I agree with you completely, from just the little time I’ve been here and want to thank everyone for the warm welcome and helpful advice. We’ve been having a cold snap here, which has allowed me to be online a little more than usual. My touch of “arthur” in my hands is turning me into a “warm weather” gardener. :)
