If the economy doen't pick up here, I think we will be seeing the old victory gardens here in the states more.

You are one smart woman to put in a garden to feed those children right. Good for you k3n!
Thanks Red! It's part of life here in rural France - la vie paysanne!

Hey I like the idea of marigolds covering naked bottoms! :lol:

A friend's hubby was on guard duty the other day by their chicken run because they'd had a fox prowling. He was sitting there with his shot gun, bored stiff when a rabbit hopped into view. Aaha he thought, maybe no fox but that's a nice fat rabbit for the pot. Anyway he shot it and when he was butchering it, he found one of his old air gun pellets in it - he must have winged it at some point and it's been hopping around like that ever since - now we call him 'Two Shot Scott'! :D
