rightly, you can stop worrying - I have the required “ring”.
When you live in another area, It takes time to change all your addresses and phone numbers pertaining to companies with whom you have to deal. I still have my house so utility companies and all other bill companies had to be notified where I moved but I got as many bills as I could sent to me by email to cut down on paper through the mail.
As for gardening: I brought all my seeds with me as well as several plants. The Cherry Punch cherry tomato plant is still producing and the sweet banana pepper has new blooms on it. When I left there the first time to come here and then went back, the netting I put over all the tomatoes kept out the squirrels and birds and we collected lots of large, medium, and cherry tomatoes. Those tomatoes were Sweet Million, Fourth of July, Cosmonaut Volkoy, Tycoon, and Better Boy.
I'm going to try to grow a Cherry Punch tomato plant inside in the winter. It was developed to be a container tomato plant and has 30% more Vitamin C than other tomatoes.
Just before I changed my life for the better, I ordered Tom Thumb Lettuce seeds and (from Eden Brothers) bought a bunch of Bronze Mignonette Lettuce seed (one ounce) and Little Gem lettuce seed (1/4 pound). All these make small heads of lettuce. I have the two from Eden Brothers here but don't have the Tom Thumb. I missed getting that one in with the others. I bought these various seeds since I screwed up lettuce I planted earlier in the year. Either I screwed up, or lettuce hates me. I'll try to grow those this fall along with some other tomatoes. When we go to my house in the fall, I will dig up the Walking Onions and bring them here.
Dear Bob is adjusting to my prepper/gardener self. There is a fancy electronic rain gauge here but it isn't set up right now. I've put that on a “Honey Do” list so he will get it reporting. He was a wrestler in college and has superior upper body strength. Finally, someone to lift what I can't. Oh, I just told him I put the rain gauge on here and he laughed and said he would set it up when he goes outside in a short while. I love free labor. :o)
Poor Bob. ;)

Hey, rightly wasn't the only one worrying about Bob living in sin. ;oP
Glad you are getting your old life, and your new sorted out, and I can't imagine the big pain it must be to get addresses, and other bills changed over.
Lol, I just realized I still have some stuff in my "old" name from the early 70's..Oh, my!
