About carolyncat353
55 years old-Involved in gardening since very young. My grandfather farmed 2 acres of every vegetable imaginable, along with fruit trees, nut trees and flowers. Summers were spent harvesting, canning and freezing vegetables. Although I live in a town environment, I still have a vegetable garden and lots of plants and flowers, along with 2 cats and a granddog.
I have one son who is in the Air Force. Recently ended up with one grandog and 2 new kittens. I'm Office Mangler (no misspell) for a Sheet Metal shop for the last 19 years, and it's getting old! Anyway, I have a few friends that are gardeners, but most just watch. I lost 3 pets in 4 months and was a mess. Everytime I talked with my son I was crying until he finally said "Mom, go plant your garden and start new plants. It's what you do best" S0OO, I've thrown myself into gardening again-and it's looking good!

I think my tomatoes survived after all the wind yesterday. I staked and propped and tied and inspected. Boy-do I have tomatoes (yeah, I'm bragging). I talked with my brother and he said his green thumb is lost this year. He keeps having to replan...
