Thank you so much Diana. You have helped many times over the years.
Life at our home is starting to get some normalcy. My bride past away after a lengthy batter with cancer. My son and his fiancé are engaged to get married in a few months. Both have been accepted to The Ohio State University this fall. His bride is working on a doctorate and my son on his Bachelor’s degree.
I have decided to go crazy in the yard (less than an acre). I have 3 compost bins that provide nutrients. I have 18 Tomato plants, Bush beans, peppers, cucumbers, and lots of herbs and marigolds. I also have 2 Blueberry trees that have been faithful for sometime.
More time outside and less time in the house.
I should be occupied for most of the growing season.
THE Ohio State! How exciting!
Any help you need this growing season, just ask us. We’re here to help.
I know (first hand) how losing someone you love really knocks the wind out of your sails for a while. Glad to see you’re moving forward and doing something healthy for yourself.
Gardening, Nature and tending to all growing things is good for Mind, Body and Soul. God Bless You! :)
Intermixing the herbs with the veggies is called companion planting and can help deter pests.
There are plenty of you tube videos.
I like the ones like this by The Millennial Gardener. He seems to have done his research well.

I hate sensationalist headlines but it seems almost impossible to avoid these days.
So sorry to hear about your wife. Please accept my sincere condolences.
We used to live in Atlanta, but moved to Columbus for a job opportunity in the late 80’s. Raised our kids there. Stayed for 25 years before another job opportunity brought us to the Indianapolis general area. No offense to Hoosiers, but I really love Columbus more. It’s a neat place. (Having said that, we LOVE the small town we live in now.) The point is to let you know that your son and his fiancé have a bright future ahead of them. OSU is a very good school for a public university. If you need any tips about the city, I’m happy to help. Our youngest son is still there. We get to see him every couple of months.
Anyway, just wanted to say Go Bucks! I think they’ll like it there.
