Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

NO, not all of the garden, but I will be building several boxes for tomatoes, herbs, bell peppers and such.

Here's the garden beds I made- they are at our other house- and some very nice senior citizens are enjoying them....


see the bed at the back? it's got a wood-framed screen over it, because it's got strawberries in there. I poked stakes in the corners and then set tin cans on the stakes, which gave it a nice base for the screen to sit on. After tha, the crows and robins didn't eat all my berries!

I can manage for short periods of time. Do you suppose it will be too windy for my big yellow sun hat?

Depends on the tide, but it's not a particularly windy point.

I'll ask again since I forgot and didn't get a reply last time:

[COLOR=008000]WHO MAKES THE LOVELY STITCH MARKERS? I'D LIKE TO BUY SOME![/COLOR]

That would be me, although I'm on overload right now and may not make any more until after Easter.

There was a sudden thunder/hail storm while we were on the lake yesterday. It was crazy and kind of awesome.




We also poked a dead frog.

About this thread: I LOVE it here. I've never felt anything but love and support here. And a whole lot of enabling. I very much enjoy the different personalities here, and the fact that there's a lot to read. I hate slow threads. I'm like...c'mon, somebody just POST SOMETHING! when it's slow. NOT HERE! I'm going to be sorely put out and upset (I won't actually tell y'all when it happens but I know I'll cry about not living here and communing with my WA peeps anymore) if we move to MD. Their thread is slow.

WHATTA YA MEAN YOU WON'T BE POSTING. SILLY, YOU CAN ALWAYS POST HERE.

I live in Snoqualmie valley....i live right outside of Carnation. Part of my sheep farm is in the flood plan.....most of the valley is under water when it floods.....


to the person who is looking to buy in the valley....ask a lot of questions....you want to live on the hill. not on the flat part of the valley.

Back in the 80's I worked for a flood insurance company. I was always surprised how much flood plain there actually is like in the desert. Or downtown Sacramento. I didn't do Washington to much so am not too familiar with the flood plains here. In CA they have the flood plain maps in the library. Do they here?

BURRR. The zones vary so around here. We get so much marine influence in Poulsbo. Sunset's Climate Zone Map.
