Planted corn, beans, rocket and butternut pumpkin. I realise today that I am going OTT (over the top) with my garden. Have run out of space but could not resist buying watermelon seedlings. Think I am going to have to plant them over the fence in the orchard.
Have discovered a great site. It is ADMA which is a do not mail list. Like the phone do not call list. Why am I so pleased in discovering this? So far have received mail from 41 different charities all wanting donations. The latest one had a 5 cent coin attached. I sent that one back as I am not going to be indebted to a charity. I am becoming very very anti charity. A lot of the charities have a phone list that is separate to their mailing lists. Most of the charities have four mail outs a year, one for each season. They all buy lists from companies who once you give a donation and give them your address for eg raffle tickets they then sell your details to a company which then sells your details to other companies. All charities buy mailing lists but not all of them admit to selling your details. How much of your donation do you think actually goes to the cause for which you donate? Not very much at all.
