I will be following your gardening project, perhaps the boys will be as keen on weeding as they are at running in the garden!willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05818659940895641160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695172414901267072.post-6419028690924367232009-05-08T10:37:00.000-04:002009-05-08T10:37:00.000-04:00Fantastic! I'm so excited for you - what a great ...Fantastic! I'm so excited for you - what a great start - may the Lord bless your garden with more 'harvest' than weeds! And no bunnies or slugs! Be sure to wrap a bit of newspaper around the stem of your tomato plants to discourage the horn worms - they were bad last year. <br /><br />Fantastic! is also my answer for the filthy garden shoes! Honestly - I've been doing this for years - on Saturday night (because they will have their church shoes on on Sunday) I throw the mudroom mat ( to muffle the noise) and all the non-leather shoes in the washing machine - well sprayed with Fantastic! They always surprise me by coming out so clean! I set them out to dry with their laces wide open, and by mid afternoon when play shoes are needed once again, they are usually fine!<br /><br />It works so well that I used to have a dear old soul (possessing a sadly critical spirit) remark every time she saw our children on how often I bought them NEW shoes - she thought 'the pastor's wife' wasn't as miserly as I ought to be! I tried to explain about my Fantastic trick, but she wouldn't believe that the shoes were just washed and not new! There are a few brands (Wal*Mart,Mudd and Candies) that don't hold up long under this treatment, but all of our New Balance, Reebok, Asic, Addidas, Fila and Nike shoes (bought on sale at the shoe outlet) still look like new when we hand them down!Heather Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13563913535839786305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695172414901267072.post-21713854015573438152009-05-07T08:50:00.000-04:002009-05-07T08:50:00.000-04:00love your garden!

That, and flowers, will probably be it for me this year. Maybe next year ... :)Amy Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01703068231390465651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695172414901267072.post-49573179426505056972009-05-06T20:56:00.000-04:002009-05-06T20:56:00.000-04:00oh boy ..
