Hy Charlie....love your "greenhouse". I am a passionate veggie grower in Ireland....someone said my garden was like a Market Garden, but I only grow for us and family :)
I love getting dirt under my fingernails and being out and one with Mother Nature. I tried to beat HER this year, but SHE put me in my place..LOL!
Would you like to be friends here?
Kind Regards,
Catherine from Ireland

Lissa J. Bitton said… Charlie - I saw your post saying gout was slowing you down - I only have gout in 1 toe butinstead of the prescription medicine (which gave me dry mouth) I am taking a time release black cherry extract tablet and it is working great! Just wondered if you had tried cherry extract , or tablets or pure juice or dried cherries!
