The weatherman I watched this morning reported there was 22 days of rain &
26 days of clouds in the NE during the 31 days of May.
   So what was that bright orb that shined in, what color was the sky? Oh
Yea, BLUE! And SUNSHINE!!!! The list members in the SW with the heat wave
have no idea how cold, damp & dwery it's been for the last 2 months. I can
only hope blossom drop ain't been to bad as I'm still growing leggy
seedlings indoors. May consider putting in 1 bead this weekend & see how it
does.
