Hey, Bev. Isn't it interesting what a really crappy economy will do to a
person's thinking. ;)  I'm happy for you. My husband hasn't gone so far to
say he "wants to learn" but has said more than once that he will help and
assist more than usual this year. He likes to eat. ;)

Absolutely. Send him on over. We still have fruit trees to be pruned. The
weather has often been too warm for the trees or too cold to either of us to
stand relatively still for more than few minutes. Hubby's wrist is acting up
(carpal tunnel). Our 30+/- trees (not including the dwarf apples) are
waiting--not to mention the blueberries which I suppose we'll ignore--and
January is fading fast (which I'm also equally grateful for).

I'll follow this thread. Take care and hello to all.
