As a native North Carolinian who went to college in Durham, I can relate to your environment.<br /><br />Hi Bob, it is early for frost here, I think. Hope you enjoy your dinner tonight. It is tonight, I believe.<br /><br />Judy, we wanted a garden and we got one. In San Francisco our back garden was 800 sq. feet. This one is 20,000 sq. feet! That's 25 times bigger. Whew. But it's what we wanted and now we have to deal with it.<br /><br />Carolyn, snow!
