Good morning,George,
Congratulations on your weight loss and improved energy:) Spring is
certainly the time when we can use all the energy we can muster, to train
our veggies, keep weeds and varmints under control.
In our neck of the woods, we had a taste of summer this week, with temps in
the high 80s and low 90s; but tomorrow, back to spring. Can't seem to make
up its mind what the weather will do next!
Tomatoes have tripled their size in the last month, and with last week's
torrent, everything is growing like topsy...including the tobacco bud worms,
which are devastating my pellies. Will have to spray tonight after work,
when it is a bit dryer.
Enjoy!
Ron
