Wow Debra - you are impressing me!!! Sounds like you have it more in
control than you think. We spent the whole day yesterday in our gardens
trying to get things weeded and ready for the rains we are PRAYING will come
today. We haven't had any rain in a while and the dust is starting to kick
up.

It is wonderful that you are spinning on your drop spindle. By the time
your wheel arrives you will be an old pro. I started on a drop spindle
myself and I know, if you can keep that hand action on that thing, a wheel
is a breeze.

Hope you have a fabulous day!!
Angelia

to get some more basil, chive, cilantro seeds as well as rocket lettuce. Oh

oregano, chives, garlic chives, sweet basil, thyme, a few more I am sure.
