Cherittfn, sorry to hear about your foot. It's sad to be kept out of the garden for a whole season. Hope you're back to health soon.

Red Hill Hollow, not so good. I broke my foot in March, and am still not back on my feet. I am hoping to go back to work in a couple weeks, but it looks like my BIG plans won't happen until next year.
