The Birthday for August is....ME!

August 16

A little about myself...

I am married and have 2 little boys. I also have 2 dogs, a cat and 2 guinea pigs. I like to garden, but this year I don't know where the time went. Between the heat and my neglect it is just a bunch of brown. I don't really have a wish list. Easy Growers is probably best!!

Hope you all are having a great summer!

    Heidi,

    A very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you on August 16th! ENJOY!! I am chuckling at "Easy Growers is probably best"............
    What do you consider an easy grower????? I have learned that what is easy for others is not easy for me...LOL! The bunnies, the snails, the heat, and so on.............

    Happy Sunday!!!

    True True Annie...for me easy growers are Marigolds, Sunflowers, most Gaillardia, coneflowers. This year I had a horrible time with getting Tomatoes started. I gave up after my second attempt. Luckily my sister has been bringing me things from her garden.

    A very happy birthday to you Heidi. Do something special! As Annie put it, some plants are easy for one and hard for others. I just plant them and if they come up all the better. Enjoy your day!

    Heidi, an early birthday greeting from me to you. It rained today and rain is in the forecast for tomorrow so my plan to harvest is put on hold. I will be away this weekend but as soon as I can harvest some special things I think you will like, I will get them off to you. I apologize for the delay but I will be thinking of you on your big day. Enjoy it and make the most of it.

    Happy Birthday Heidi! My card is in the mail to you! I also wanted to thank Margo for sending me some great flower seeds and a cute card! We had our first hot day today 99 degrees! I was so happy. We went to the beach after I spent the morning planting seeds. We have had such a mild summer I am predicting a really hot next couple of months. I decided to try another planting of some of my favorite warm season seeds just to see what happens. Last year I had tomatoes and strawberries still in November!
