WoW Gabz! The thread is up to plus 50 replies already and I thought everyone would be in the garden doing catchup after the weird weather back yonder. I helped my wife fill planters on the deck after she finished baking about 40 dozen cookies this morning. We have used 10 bags of Black Gold potting soil so far and will use another 6 for the flowers plus what ever it takes to fill 4 big tubs for the tomatoes.

The weather here is influenced buy the Pacific ocean including high fog or low clouds depending on the weather man. It was 54 today and our growing season is a month late this year here on Humboldt Bay.

I saw a mention of author Steve Solomon in the linked story and did not know he was still writing. He was the founder of Territorial Seed co in Oregon specializing in seeds and plants for the maritime North West and I met him when he still owned the company. I will have to get his latest book...

I was pleasantly surprised when I finally got back online to see the number of posts, considering I didn’t even get a chance to look at the thread until more than 12 hours after I posted it!!!!

I plan on spending the vast majority of tomorrow and Sunday dealing with garden work because it will be Thursday before I can once again spend any time on it.
