You've accomplished quite a lot in spite of pests of the 2-legged, 4-legged & no-legged variety.

That's what initially attracted me to your blog:) <BR/><BR/>My success this year, in my garden, was just being able to get out there and plant a few perennials again--after a season of healing after ACL allograft surgery. Kneeling is still difficult for me so I'm concerned that I may not be able to 'get into' things the way I want to in the spring/summer...but I always find a way, even if I have to sit on something to do it!<BR/><BR/>Another 'good' thing for me was finding blotanical, so I can learn from others--and, meet some great people in the process!<BR/><BR/>Hope your holidays have been joyous for you and yours.

It's most rewarding isn't it? And here's to a continued recovery for you.<BR/><BR/>Tina - it's lovely when your ideas and plans come together at last. Don't like the sound of those sawfly though.

The bad part was when the sawflies attacked my birch tree-two times no less! Not a happy camper at all this gardener. <BR/><BR/>Great on all your triumphs-especially finding TWO sports in your garden. <BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas to you and your family.tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415302577518111227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-15085895907079235332008-12-23T17:56:00.000+00:002008-12-23T17:56:00.000+00:00What a fun post idea.

Some lows too but us gardeners thrive on challenges :) We have a low in common - an allotment warning letter. Mind you mine gave me the proverbial kick that perhaps I needed at the time. What a shame about your sweetcorn - a creature demolished a few of my cobs but no definite suspects in mind. I did manage to eat the odd one or two and very tasty they were too.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10794392333038962798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-69009796673016587432008-12-23T16:09:00.000+00:002008-12-23T16:09:00.000+00:00Petoskystone - And you're most welcome to continue...Petoskystone - And you're most welcome to continue doing so here :D Happy holidays!VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-80267909665450335912008-12-23T16:08:00.000+00:002008-12-23T16:08:00.000+00:00thank you!! i like to talk :) sometimes i even m...thank you!! i like to talk :) sometimes i even make sense.....petoskystonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01633621111274495078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-18029182909044957962008-12-23T16:05:00.000+00:002008-12-23T16:05:00.000+00:00Oops - finger trouble meant I posted before I'd fi...Oops - finger trouble meant I posted before I'd finished chatting with you all!<BR/><BR/>Gail - thanks, I'm very pleased with the total raised :D<BR/><BR/>SOL - Happy Christmas - I'll come over for a quick visit, hopefully before you're incommunicado<BR/><BR/>Petoskystone - usually I think badgers are lovely, but not when they wreck my sweetcorn and start eating my apples :( <BR/><BR/>I've also been trying to follow up on your comment the other day about account/login problems. As you know Google Help isn't much of a help, but it does look like there's a known problem with 'subscriptions' being cancelled. Could that be it do you think? They say they're working on it and their interim workaround is for the subscription to be taken out again, which is what you've been doing.<BR/><BR/>I've also left a message on Blotanical's forum to see if any of my fellow Blotanists have experienced the same problem or if their readers have.<BR/><BR/>In the meantime, thanks for being tenacious enough to keep on signing up, just so you can read and comment!VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-38007025960011369572008-12-23T15:57:00.000+00:002008-12-23T15:57:00.000+00:00Karen - Thanks!Karen - Thanks!VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-79501750915382817742008-12-23T15:55:00.000+00:002008-12-23T15:55:00.000+00:00so--y'mean badgers aren't as nice & pr...so--y'mean badgers aren't as nice & protective as featured in"the wind in the willows"?? :)petoskystonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01633621111274495078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-76455033710188540362008-12-23T14:44:00.000+00:002008-12-23T14:44:00.000+00:00Merry Christmas VP.
