Collards and lettuce:

Tomatoes and peppers are still trying...

The weather today was lovely, sunny, almost 80°F. Tomorrow and Sunday are supposed to be the same, maybe I can get the porch and shed stained this weekend.

Since you asked:

If it's one neighbor you are referring to you would use " neighbor's " in the US. It shouldn't ever be s's, only one s.

Those 's are confusing, even for those of us who were born here.

kind of like y'all and all y'all

To add more confusion, if it's more than one neighbor you're referring to, you'd use neighbors'. A second "s" isn't needed.

I was trying to not confuse @Paz!

But you're correct 100%.

hot and windy here. lost another set of lettuce planted in full sun. I hope that lettuce just transplanted in my new partially shaded garden will make it.

Wow, that's scary! Both his reaction, and that it happened after not having them before.

Neither DH nor I have been stung (yet). Neither of us know if we have an allergy, either. At my last physical, I asked the Doc about this. Should we get an epi pen to have on hand, just in case? He said that children's liquid tylenol would be a good thing to have and didn't prescribe an epi pen.

I was told to keep liquid Benadryl on hand in case I got stung by any of my bees. Or anyone else’s bees.
My bee hive was completely empty of bees a few weeks ago when I went to feed them.

Darn. Do you think they swarmed and went somewhere else?

I think this version is easier and more explanatory

I remember the first time I went down south - I volunteered with the Red Cross in Louisiana after hurricane Katrina. The first night I got there we went to the grocery store & I swear I could not understand a single bit of what the girl working the register said to me. Even after she repeated herself. But anyway, I had NO clue what all y'all meant. Y'all is not something I'd ever heard before, except on tv maybe. & then never all y'all! It was all confusing to this northerner. Now I say y'all all the time, it's so much better than the 'you guys' that we use up here. Though I'm still not sure I would use all y'all correctly.
