The latest check with the dr showed the tumor is totally gone!!!! That's a blessing...BUT and there always has to be a but..they found a 1/2 inch spot in the right lung now. Thursday we go for tests to see if he can have radiation. The new pills they have developed will not work for him, they...

It's been a while since I made an update. Yesterday we saw the radiation doctor. She officially is off the case unless he gets sick or needs her. For those who don't know Charles is a slender man, stands 6'1", average weight 135. Chemo and radiation usually take their toll especially on...

Not willing to take a chance all the pots are moved in groups. They will get well watered and covered tomorrow night. I know we will get warmer weather later but I have LOTS of green peppers on them I don't want to lose. Hopefully it works!!!

I know everyone's not on facebook but it's amazing what you can find over there. A person ate a " Trinidad Scorpion Barrackpore" I'm aware that when the seeds to the 7 pot Barrackpore were shared there was NO mention of a trinidad scorpion. Of course the seeds and possibly plants are...

Charles went to the doctor for his results of the surgery yesterday. All good news..NO CANCER!!!!!! Thanks to all of you for your prayers and good wishes. This brightens up our year considerably.

I heard they had tornados down by Fort Worth today. Anyone heard from AJ? I don't know what part of town he lives in, think they said tornadoes west of town

Charles was supposed to be able to come home today but it's doubtful because he gets out of breath just walking to the bathroom and back to the bed. I think he will need his lung function checked again. Before he went to hospital he was working and only using oxygen at night or if he overdid...

I know, the test no one really likes! Here's one more reason to get one. Charles just switched doctors to the one I see and was told he needed another test. Routine right? So we got there, dr said about 45 minutes. In 10 minutes he called me in, had found a hole in the colon. So into an...

This is a much discussed topic but needs to be brought up again. Recently I responded to an offer to share seeds. I sent a SASBE ( self addressed stamped bubble envelope) with postage for a return. I received a regular envelope with the seeds in, no bubble wrap, no sign of the envelope I had...

One of the good things about seed exchanges is new seeds. I have one called salento. Does anyone have any information on it? Nothing came up on chileman or any other site I looked at. Is this one of those who knows who named it? I have no clue but wondered if anybody is familair with this...

I've been missing everyone here but my back is acting up with the onset of cold weather. Nothing so serious as Dyce, I just can't sit at the computer as much. I still get in to check and drool over the gardens of Australia and other areas where it is warm this time of the year. Hope to visit...

Winter hasn't even started and I'm miserable. I have a whole gamut of back problems. Doctor said think Arizona. So I need some advice from anyone familiar with the state. We definitely would want a house in a smaller town or an acreage, preferably one level. Any suggestions? This is looking a...

I am looking at new computers, especially one with a 23 inch monitor. Does anyone happen to have one and can you tell me what the outside measurements are for height and width? My desk only has so much room, you can't open the box of the computer to check and they don't have one on display. I...

Happy birthday Potawie. Hope you have a great day.

Our high school has a yearly plant sale from the plants the ag class has grown. Talking to the teacher today, she's more than willing to have her students grow peppers for us and for the sale. It makes sense to me, I will still grow my hot peppers but let her students raise the milder ones...

We found these little cans, about 3-4 inches high with tomato and cucumber seeds in them all you do is water. Ok so I have major spring fever here, had to get them. Two days in and I have 3 cucumber hooks peeking out...hey this is ok. I know it's early but can't resist something growing...

We're back from Ohio. Before we left I'd been cleaning, back hurt, normal thing..never thought anything about it. Had to go to dr on Fri. I have either a fractured vertebra or a herniated disc pinching the sciatic nerve. Pain pills, ice packs, intense pain. I will need an mri, for now just...

Charles father passed last night. He was 90 1/2 so had a long life. We will probably be driving back to Ohio, Cambridge, on Sat. If I promised you seeds I will try to get them out before I leave, if not we'll be back on Wed-Thurs. That's a long trip from MN.

Someone sent me some seeds postmarked Canada. No name of the peppers, no name of the sender. I'm very happy that you sent them but am really curious as to who you are and what the seeds are. Please let me know ok? Thanks

I woke up this morning to a cold house, so checked the radio for temps and oh yeah it hit us big time. -24 actual temp with a -40 wind chill. Our high today is supposed to hit a -3....heat wave! Good day for making soup, baking and hibernating. Believe me that soup will have plenty of...
