'ello Paul! Thanx, yes it is good to be back home in New England. Where in MA are ya? Haverhill was home for me till we moved to St Louie, now we're living in Derry, waiting for these crazy real estate prices to drop a bit. MA or NH is where we'll settle, then I can finally have a REAL GARDEN again, not one that is in clay pots and that gets dragged back and forth across the USA! Yep I 'member that Byron lives in The Snow Zone... and has many bugs during gardening season. I'm looking forward to getting to a Northeast Hotluck this year, and my calandar is marked for the Pig and Pepper Fest in Westford (10/6 and 10/7 :) Hope to meet up with some local chileheads there!!
