Great, thanks for asking! I've been a planting fool for the last 2 days! The 10-day forecast gets me to the "safe-place" now and the lowest temps at night is 50 so all the warm weather transplants that were large enough to go out have been planted- tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, pole beans, zucchini and cucumbers. The cool weather stuff is all doing fine, so I'm a happy camper. I thought it'd be a late year because of the long winter, but this is really early planting for me, so I hope we don't have a historical late frost or something.

Happy gardening~

James---well, there are sea shells there...maybe you just missed the boat! actually the shells were after a hurricane came thru and hundreds of those shells were left behind, I picked them off the beach where my building is...figured I would call it a dock..no other reason...
