What a handsome couple! I'm so glad you are enjoying England (although I hope you stayed off that huge Ferris wheel--it looks dangerous to me!)....
Syd, amazing photo (as usual)! We have the occasional honeybee mistake our home for the hives in the barn lot, and I use the same method of moving...
Welcome from central Texas! We grow "almost" all year 'round--July and August are down times for us because of the heat. What do you grow? I'd...

Welcome! We are on a small farm in central Texas, but about 16 years ago we re-located from upstate NY. Getting used to the southern gardening...
Ohmygosh, spaghetti doesn't grow on trees? I wonder what I've been eating all these years . . . .
Nadea, welcome from a small farm in central Texas! Believe me, I'm about as computer inept as they come, but this forum is the easiest I've found...
