ContainerTed ::: Back from the dead again
Just got home from hospital. Wanted all to know that I've been having a rough time with severe pancreatitis. I guess it was too many good drinks over the years. Right now, my doctors are hopeful I can get thru this. My strength is pretty good, given all the stuff I've been thru. But I wanted you folks to know that I appreciate being a part of this community and like the danged cancer we went thru, they can hurt me, but I don't have to like it. So much for my attitude check.
But here's the good stuff. Somehow I've been able to manage a few tomatoes. Here's a couple of pictures. For my good friend Retiree. here's Ashleigh from your old seeds. Ashley1.jpg For another good friend, Clara, here's Henry's Sunshine from this year. HenrysSunshine2.jpg For Craig (NCTOMATOMAN), to whom we all owe so much, and whom I am humbled to have been able to call my friend, here's Shelby's Purple which took a lot of searching. ShelbysPurple2.jpg Eveyone take care and wish me well in the fight ahead of me. I have always felt privileges to been a part of this community. I hope I can continue for a while.
