A big congrats on that, Carol! I just read it over the weekend, and when I saw your name I turned excitedly to my kids, who were handy, to say, "I know her!"Pam/Digginghttp://www.penick.net/diggingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-59961042585671019142009-05-11T12:59:00.000-04:002009-05-11T12:59:00.000-04:00The tomato contest sounds fun, whatever the rules ...The tomato contest sounds fun, whatever the rules are at least we get to eat them. I thought I could get mine planted but we also are expecting a frost. I went to a "big box" store w/ a friend this weekend and couldn't resist a tomato called Mr. Stripey. I'm a sucker for colorful and bizarre looking tomatoes. I love your clematis!peoniesinthesnowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02117549774460404633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-1571063480991356592009-05-11T08:08:00.000-04:002009-05-11T08:08:00.000-04:00Well, Carol, I knew you'd try to make the tomato g...Well, Carol, I knew you'd try to make the tomato growing contest in your favor, but making up the rules as we do it, that's b-a-a-a-d. LOL. I don't have my letter finished. It was Mother's Day, and I had a lot of mothers to visit.<br /><br />Love your Clematis. I wrote about them for Examiner last week.

Hope you have better luck - they're both supposed to be great-tasting. <br /><br />Your day with family and lovely gifts for your Annie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-64540505131265281362009-05-10T23:49:00.000-04:002009-05-10T23:49:00.000-04:00I'm so glad to read that someone else's little see...I'm so glad to read that someone else's little seedlings are... ahem... not thriving as well as the "store bought varities."

How'd that happen? sheeeeeesh.<br /><br />Meanwhile, that's a pretty good idea about the pvc pipe/then the stake.
