I figure I can give his things a ten minute fluffing in the dryer, then finish them off on the line. I like my jeans stiff.<br /><br />BTW, your latest post concerns me. I can't comment (read that as "I can't pick your brains"), so would you consider emailing me at anniebloom1 at gmail dot com?

That's when I took the one from here at the house down with us, and resorted to (mostly) using the dryer.

There is always just a little more work to be done in the garden in spring, but I have been pulled away from the garden too much lately with other commitments and really have some catching up to do. As always, you wear me out just reading about your perpetual energy. ;DkitsapFGhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.com/apps/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-64384413707491974952012-05-05T05:06:07.285-07:002012-05-05T05:06:07.285-07:00It's so rewarding to edge beds, isn't it? ...It's so rewarding to edge beds, isn't it?

The others self seed and come up all over, so I had to mark where the new ones were planted....I cleared off each spot, pushed a seed into the surface of the soil, surrounded it with a canning jar ring and covered it with a mixture of "our special mix" + a bit of vermiculite. Hopefully I'll be able to identify them now!<br /><br />I like those umbrella type lines, as they don't take up a lot of yard space, and they can be easily removed if one wants to make the yard look nice for special occasions (or for mowing). Hanging sheets on four sides makes a neat tent for small visiting grandchild/great grandchildren. The only drawback is on really windy days....they can keep one running in circles while trying to hang clothes up!Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-37336234057788522192012-05-04T19:59:06.126-07:002012-05-04T19:59:06.126-07:00At least your list has dates from May!
