Everytime I watch the weather news, I think of you who have
suffered<br>through the flooding...and a 500-year flood in Iowa...that
is terrible. I<br>have a sister who lives in Iowa...she and husband were
ok this weekend but<br>were planning to move. I need to call her to find
out if their new place<br>is above water.<br><br><br>> [Original

[CHAT] First Zucchini!<br>><br>> You're so lucky Cyndi......for the

like that where I live. They all end up ROTTING<br>from<br>> the rain
and moisture. Even in raised beds and containers
that<br>drain.....none<br>> of mine made it. I found water damage in my
house last night. My bedroom<br>> carpet was WET from all the rain we
had the night before...gonna have to<br>get<br>> somebody out to clean
it and do some repair. Great.
