My son rolls his eyes in continuation when we go biking because I have to keep getting off so that I don't fall off. Anyone else could probably get a bus through that gap or round that bend, but I wobble just looking at it. As for seedlings, why is it always that really strong healthy looking one in the middle of the clump whose roots I rip off? <em>Sue, It's murphy's law of seedlings and thank goodness the little runty ones end up surviving just as well! -kris</em> Ho ho – your description of your lack of co-ordination could have been me!

I did transplant some peppers and tomatoes today and they seem to have survived! My 'touch' is none to gentle but it has served me well. I am so grateful for the three inches of rain. <em>Layanee, Anyone who's seen your garden pictures knows you have a perfect touch - sometimes a little rough handling is just what is called for - my cat, for one, loves that. -kris</em> Who knows, but I keep trying!
