Well, I gave up on my ark. ;-) I have my "raft bed" all built now. So I'm prepared for rain at Open Fields too! I built a portable bed out of 4x4's and 2x4's for my reenacting. I had to revise it as it looked big enough to take on a battleship just a few days ago. ;-) It is very reminiscent of a loft bed they "rent" to you in college. Put all my peppers in Friday night, the 10th. I've also discovered something. Susan, I don't know if there's anything to this, but those Venezuelan Sweet Habs are growing like WEEDS in this rain. Since Friday, they've doubled in size where-as the other ones are trying to hold their own by not falling over in the mucked-up-water-logged-satanic-clay soil of Indiana. Must remind myself to get more gypsum this fall! Ted __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? LAUNCH - Your Yahoo! Music Experience http://launch.yahoo.com
