[Nfb-krafters-korner] Today's Hadley seminar was Container gardening. Tonight's chat

Thu May 26 04:12:09 UTC 2016

Hi Y'all,

Did anyone listen to the Hadley seminar today, Eat Your Veggies?  I did and it was really good.  Ed Haynes (not sure if that's the right spelling) talked about container gardening and told about 2 types of plants, along with some others, that are grown in the Mediterranean that are pretty easy to grow: cima di rapa a type of green that matures in 25 days and a type of kale.  The seminar will be up on the Hadley site in a few days and they will have a list of resources.  Ed said he will post where to get the seeds for these plants.  The rest of the seminar was about how to prepare vegetables and then about being vegetarian.  There was a different Hadley instructor for these two areas.  It was really good, especially about the container gardening.

Annely

 Sophie is sort of like
 that!
 She knows when it is time for her
 Mommy to come home.  I think she listens for the Metro
 Access van to pull up and then she comes to greet me at the
 door!
 I love to play ball with her, in the
 apartment.  I have to use my walker to walk with Henry and
 4 paw drive, when we take walks together.  She always likes
 to take the lead.  It is hard for me to take the lead, when
 I am trying to teach Henry a new path.
 I
 call Sophie our challenger dog, because she makes me  walk
 around her or step over her.  I sure am glad she is
 black!  I wonder if she understands that I can not see
 well, too.
 I can handle her on leash with or
 with out my walker, until my sister pulls up.  Then she
 goes crazy.  She wants to go and visit my sister's
 dog.  She seams to understand me using the walker, because
 her previous mommy used a wheel chair.  
 I
 love my baby, even though she is afraid of thunder!

 Henry:

 No, Hank is a mixed breed that I adopted from
 the humane society.  He weighs about 40 pounds and has very
 short hair.  His markings are something like a Collie.  He
 has a docked tail and ears that stand up part way and then
 flop over.  Everyone seems to think he is some type of
 terrier mix.  He has a lot of energy and personality.  He
 can be very stubborn, was hard to train, but he is very
 sweet.  He loves everyone except squirrels and any other
 critter that doesn't belong here.  Hank is very
 athletic, can jump very high and will even try climbing
 trees when after a squirrel. lol

 He can be grumpy with other dogs.  I have a
 pet GSD that he is friends with.
 He is also
 weird with cats; I have house cats that he likes, but a
 stray cat better not get in the yard.  He is very observant
 and watches everything.
 He lets me know when
 something isn't right around here.

 Besides me my Dad is his favorite person in the
 world.  Dad lets Hank squish into the recliner with him. 
 It is pretty funny.  Hank knows the sound of Dad's
 truck and goes nuts as soon as Dad pulls in the the drive. 
 He is almost uncontrollable until Dad gets in the door and
 says hi to him.

 Hank is a
 special dog and it takes a special person to love him.
 Lol

 Oh, and Hank says to
 tell you he is top dog!

 They are quite cute; I have to
 families of red squirrels living in the yard.

 They love to torment my poor
 dog Hank.  He thinks he's supposed to be a
 squirrel dog and spends his life dashing around
 after them.  They get real
 close to him,
 taunting him and then dash up a tree.  Hank is one
 frustrated
 pup!

 When my x was still
 around, he used to fead the squerls and they would come
 right to the patio door.  Once, one got in the
 apartment and we did not know
 it and he ate
 up all our house plants.  It was not easy to get him
 out.
 They like to hide!
 We
 sure were lucky we were not bitten!

 Terry P.
 I will say, it was
 cute seeing them come up to the door, for their peanuts!

 Now, can't you just see Jill with her her
 hands around the neck of a
 squirrel  ,
 shaking him & saying, "That'll teach you to get
 my tomatoes!
 Now you must die!!!!"

 Hahaha
