I’m sorry Red Devil that I appeared to have missed the post about your surgery. I hate it that your garden suffered, but the important this is how in the world are YOU doing? My goodness, I live so close that I could do something for you if you need some help. Yell at me ... I love road trips!
The doctors thought I had colon cancer but it turned out to a very severe case of Diverticulitis. All tests on the growth came back negative for cancer. Both the surgeon and my gastroenterologist were amazed at the results. My wife and I just thanked God.
Like I said I am well and can't wait to start this years garden. I will be expanding it and will be using the landscape fabric. I checked the Sam's web site you posted and it said it was not available at my store. I hope they stock it this spring. Do you remember what it cost?
By the way at one time I did live much closer, Lafayette, for about 17 years. The picture of my wife and I with our pups was taken in front of the house we owned there.
