Ms Eudora says we Southerners have the need to talk - with an audience. I do. Especially about my granddarlings, my wife Mimi ( my trophy wifr for over 40 years), and my heirloom tomato gardening experiments. I get great joy from feedback from readers of my humorous gardening columns in the Collierville TN Independent, the Southaven MS Press, the Pontotoc MS Progress, the Oxford So and So, USADEEPSOUTH, and occasionally others. Mimi says they's egging me on.

Four beautiful talented sweet granddarlings, each with his/her own birth certificate. Oxford So and So featured writer of the month. Mimi's sweet smile.

Currently growing fennel, parsley, mixed micro greens, and arugula, but none of my friends is sophisticated enough to know what they are and eat'em.
