She has girls. It was a little chilly here this weekend so all I did was take my cast iron rake over the garden to "mellow it out". Brady would never forgive me if I planted it by myself. Next weekend we will. He made sure we didn't replicate the zucchini mistake this year as we won't be planting a whole row of the stuff. <br /> Jeannie, you out there?

We've been wondering how you and Brady Jo have been doing. All the beginning of school stuff we discussed last fall and now here it is almost the end of the year already. I'm glad to see that you two are doing well, and that your garden is going to go in tomorrow. How much zucchini this year? <br /><br />Barry G. I'm so sorry to hear about your son's broken arm. As has been said, he'll get over the trauma faster than you and your wife. That is always the case when you see your child hurting and can't fix it with a kiss and a band aid. <br /><br />Good night all.
