Thanks Melissa, It's nice to have options. So what's everyone doing during the first week of June? I'm making strawberry jam, beef jerky & possibly canning peaches. The garden & yard is getting dry, we haven't had rain for over a week and it was 95 today! I water but that doesn't seem to be as good as rain for the plants. My blueberries & the wild blackberries should be ready to pick within a couple of weeks I have added new ducklings,goslings & a mini donkey to the 'funny farm' this last weekend. I'm enjoying each and every one of them. Life is good. KA

Kathy, where are you? Our peaches are nowhere near ready around here in Central OK. I'm looking forward to the blackberries in a few weeks, though. Strawberries are on my plan for next year's garden - no bed to put them in yet!
