Blueberries, mmmmm ......Reverberate ... thank you. Blueberries, mmmmm ... how do they grow (like a vine, a bush, a tree ??).<BR/><BR/>DaybyDay ... Japanese Maples are pretty trees ... mine is not a very good example. It is probably 15 years old, but appears to be stunted !!<BR/><BR/>Alice ... thank you, I will tell her !! Yay to you for becoming a computer whizz !! It's fun, isn't it !! And, normally my cooking isn't that bad (only sometimes !!!)<BR/><BR/>Dick ... thank you ... I like to think we both have great taste !! Good luck with the garden ... Roundup is wonderful stuff !!<BR/><BR/>Jean-luc ... thank you.<BR/><BR/>Connie ... thank you. It is interesting ... I will let you know if she gets published ... I really hope she does, it's a fascinating story.<BR/><BR/>Maddy ... spare room, yep ... but if anyone were to come and visit at this moment, they would need to perch on top of everything LOL.<BR/><BR/>Have a wonderful Friday everyone.

It proves I have good taste, or that you do.<BR/><BR/>I need to do more with my yard and I hope to move more to simplifying the upkeep on it. The desert SW landscapes really seem to me to be a good idea, although I am afraid that our plant growth rate here in the NW is a lot higher due to all our rain. So I guess I will still have weeds growing from the gravel I put out. I probably need a lot of Roundup.Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12381970360203140143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19370354.post-1149178268855859132006-06-02T02:11:00.000+10:002006-06-02T02:11:00.000+10:00First thing's first: GOOD LUCK TO CHICKIE GIRL AND...First thing's first: GOOD LUCK TO CHICKIE GIRL AND FRIENDS!<BR/><BR/>Remind her though, that winning is NOT everything, even if she does trounce the competition and beat the lot of them.<BR/><BR/>;-)<BR/><BR/>My favourite of the two pictures is the maple. The oak is the last to get rid of its leaves here: they don't drop until the new leaves of spring force them off the branches!<BR/><BR/>I downloaded a picture of my very own today (and posted it as my profile. No, it isn't me. I really don't look like that. The size may be appropriate but I promise; I'm a normal, average human being. ...Well...) AND started a discussion in Yahoo Message Boards, something I've never done before.<BR/><BR/>Yay me!<BR/><BR/>And yay you for being brilliant.<BR/><BR/>And yay your mum for cooking stellar meals.<BR/><BR/>...Not - a-hem! - that you DON'T......I mean, I've never tasted you meals, so obviously...I mean, I'm sure they're great...<BR/><BR/>- I'll just stop talking now.<BR/><BR/>:-SAlicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14549891327693205506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19370354.post-1149157372914689592006-06-01T20:22:00.000+10:002006-06-01T20:22:00.000+10:00Megz Mum ...

I only just posted this a few minutes ago ... you are quick !!<BR/>Unfortunately, the birds to eat many of the apricots, but they still leave plenty for us. The tree bears an amazing amount of fruit. The only downfall, is it usually ripens around Christmas / New Years, and we usually go away for a couple of weeks, so we often miss out on the fruit entirely (if it is late in ripening). Our neighbours and family get to pick heaps, though.<BR/>Thanks, Barbara, and have a wonderful day.<BR/>Take care, Meow xxMeow (aka Connie)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05806724258331021528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19370354.post-1149126559011166552006-06-01T11:49:00.000+10:002006-06-01T11:49:00.000+10:00I can't believe I am the first to comment on this ...I can't believe I am the first to comment on this very popular blog!
