Default I got the 1922 white adobe house on the NM prairie

With the pear tree and the peach tree and the apricot tree. I'll move out
there in about a month or less.

My gardens-to-be are in my dreams nightly. There will be herbs galore. And
a salsa garden. And more.

I hope to make a web site and when I do, I'll invite you all, if that's ok.
Meanwhile, I'll just continue to quietly and vicariously enjoy your
preserving adventures.

I thank those who wished me well. Especially:

Edrena in ElPaso (where I stayed for a few months a few years back. The hot
wind there always unnerved me but the people there made up for it.)
George (Not a huge number of boats in NM,) George, the has been maintained
and is in reasonably good shape; my son-in-law the general building
contractor went out to see it and said it's moveable-innable right now.
jamlady Barb ( I'm sure, btw, that it was your crossed toes that put the
deal over the top.)

Good for you Anna. When I was much younger I used to go visit an aunt in
Old Las Vegas, NM nearly every summer. She lived in a more than 100 yo
adobe house that was amazingly cool in the hot summers and warm in the
winters. For a young boy from the Texas Gulf Coast it was a nice, but
strange, change from the heat and humidity. I don't remember Aunt Nina
having fruit trees or a garden but there must have been some somewhere
on that 15,000 acres because we always had fresh veggies at meals.

Good luck with your canning and preserving and keep us up to date.

George, waiting for another pear crop to come in

This mean I can uncross them now? Walking's been kinda hurtful. Just
remember what I said about a house being a money pit.

Have fun playing in the dirt. There's a newsgroup about gardening -- I
think it's something like rec.gardens.edible.

Yeeeehaa! We drove thru NM today and I lusted at the leeetle farmsteads. Sigh.
Must buy lotter ticket soon. One local farmer down here is doing well with
asparagus in the early spring. Okra does well early, but bolts quick in the
heat, try to find a early bearer resistant to heat. I plant my dill in
February!
