I am missing seeing the new gardens.  I can get a connection about every 5 or 6 tries.  I have been walking in the woods and have walked to the bijou.  I looked at the beaver dams and thought I saw a gar in the water....  My brother and I have gone to his local seed store and I bought him some purple hull pea seeds.  The man at the store talked a long time to me about what you could grow in sandy soil.  Interesting...  We also have worked in my brothers garden some.  He has about 10 nice blueberry bushes, some nice apple trees, and several types of peaches.  They all look like they are producing well.  We are clearing out some of the old turnips that bugs have latched on to.  The scallop squash seeds of yellow, green tint, and white from baker creek are coming up nicely.  I have to say the heirloom tomato seeds I gave him have come up nicely and are looking better than mine!  Mom usually has a long list of things for me to do and I have almost gotten that done.  I have not been able to check the notifications. (not working here)  I will have so much fun next week catching up with everyone.  Hope you are having a great spring everyone!  The best thing about YGS is making new friends!  I am going to meet with Rori on the way home.  That will be so much fun!   It is beautiful here...I am taking pictures.  :)
