RE: just checking

That's wonderful Gene! YAY YOU!!! 

Sounds like everyone is in the same boat weather wise-It's been in the
mid-80's here with rain for the past 4 days. It's so humid it's hard to
breathe. Supposed to go into the low 90's this week with less rain. However,
I suspect it will still be hard to breathe. Truthfully, the temperatures are
lower than normal for us. It's usually in the mid-90's or so. My tomatoes
are still producing, and the garden looks great if a bit jungly from all the
rain. I have to douse myself in OFF anytime I go outside the mosquitoes are
so bad. 

I am very pleased with how my garden has turned out. I have 7 foot tall
Mexican sunflowers that I need a step stool to dead head. The butterflies
and hummingbirds love them. Put in your orders for seeds now because I'll
have plenty for everyone!!!

Supposed to be back in the 90's later this week.
