Now, tragically they are all dead and it makes me cry when I think of all of those beautiful berries that will never reach their potential.

So, I'm thinking we could set up some sort of shipment situation-- and a trade for goods, I can sew, knit, and crochet pretty well....


Ya, I almost never go on vacation for more than a couple of days. I don't trust those timer things, and I check the drip system every time I use it to make sure the drippers are in the right place and actually dripping.

What you need is a neighbor with a big garden who always ends up planting more than needed.
