yes. I understand about squirrels..we have a critter friendly growing patch usually, then our own...however my boys last winter were slackin on their "TAke out the Compost" chores last winter, and in the middle of one of my perennial flower gardens, up grew tomatoes, cucumbers, and pumpkins...and noone seemed to bother them much..we had a great crop from slacker composters.

That is a good idea about the critter crop. We have an apple tree, which the squirrels and birds just love. We also have a pear tree. One year, I counted only about 11 pears or so on our dwarf tree. The next day, there were only about 8, so I picked the remaining pears off. We don't live on a farm, but live in the suburbs.

Good idea!! And you had BETTER be wearing an APRON!!! LOL

I'm sewing "lookin' good while lounging" easy pull-on pants today.
I cut out 3 pr in solid colors of micro polar fleece. Real "FALL"
hasn't hit yet, so I've been putting off sewing cold weather gear,
but I don't want to get behind and be sewing like mad once it does.
Next I'll need coordinating l/s tops~and a couple hooded robes. I love
polar fleece.

Bev., I like a little gathering at the waistline too. It really does make a difference.
