I'm using well water , city water would       cost us a fortune . It costs me about 20 cents per hour for a       guesstimated 250 gallons .        My garden is going bonkers , everything has just exploded in the last       3 weeks . My tomato plants are all loaded , the cucumber is producing       well , and I can hardly wait for the green beans to start producing .       I've already picked one nice 8" zucchini , just gotta decide how I want       to use it . It's about to get real busy for my wife . I do the growin' ,       she does the cannin' .       --       Snag        It's great to be white !              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
