Hi Dave,
RH> Our stuff decomposes and gets tilled into the yard. When we moved into

DD> cheapest" grass" seed mix their low-bidder could come up wit - which
DD> involves lots of timothy and dandelions. I'm going to install zoysia
DD> grass this week-end so it can get established before we get the first

Hopefully sooner. The road by our place is wide enough but we're
thinking it needs a traffic light at the end just up from us. There's
only a stop sign on our side and getting out onto South Main can be a
real problem at times, especially if you need to make a left turn. There
have been times we've gone down to the other end of the road and gone
round Robin Hood's barn to get to where we needed to go because we
couldn't turn left.
RH> He gets migraine headaches from it, benadryl doesn't help.
DD> Sounds like my allergy to marijuana - which also includes projectile
DD> vomiting. On the upside - that allergy gor me out of the 1960s
DD> more-or- less intact.
DD> Eeeeewwwww. That's tough.
DD> Does the corn allergy extend to hominy and/or grits? I would not miss
DD> those but there are some who like them.
RH> We just avoid all forms of corn for him .

RH> Shouldn't be too hard to find green tomatoes this time of year--just

DD> True dat. Or the morning after the first serious frost.
About when do you have your first frost? Ours may come in late October
or early November; in AZ we got it around Thanksgiving.
