I never thought I'd hear anything to equal Cohen's own, but that was utterly captivating. Sheer joy. Thanks for that. Normally I turn off blog music, because I like to read either silently or with my own choice of backgroud music and they kind of clash, you know? But that was just <I>lovely!</I><BR/><BR/>Anyway. Back to Boggy Gully! <BR/><BR/>I wish I could grow pomegranates! I love them and they sell for about £1.25 each over here.<BR/><BR/>As to soil acidifier, can't you just buy the stuff they sell for acid-loving shrubs?

Nonetheless, here we must stay. <BR/><BR/>Our little pie-shaped back yard, delightful though it is, has 23 trees. No place for the sun to streak through for a garden, no ground to plant more things, though I would love to do that! <BR/><BR/>Your day trip is inspiring, though, and I'm looking forward to putting tomato plants into our big pots again, and lining them up on the driveway.

We have the "need" for "real tomatoes and lettuce". But then we want to spend time at the lake. <BR/><BR/>I need to do something for the soil around the Endless Summers. I want blue, so I think I need acidity. I am forever mixed up on that one. That comes as no surprise to those who know I took not one but 2 long naps today!!!<BR/><BR/>J discovered RFD last year. Once a farmboy always a farmboy. Lots of useful information there and for some reason Molly is intrigued by the cattle auctions.
