Hi Janet,

Oh dear, I’m not sure I’m worthy of passing on words of wisdom! I guess when something speaks to me, I hope that it speaks to others as well. And that quote, “You are exactly where you need to be” has been repeated frequently by me recently! It’s a good one!

I’m so thrilled you find this newsletter helpful. That’s my goal each day! I always hope others find the info useful, but it is very nice to hear!

Have a great day!

Hugs, Lynn

Good Morning Rita,

I will do that! If nothing else, it adds compost to the soil! I’m curious, what is your grow zone? We are 8B

Thanks for the suggestion.

Hugs, Lynn

Good Morning Ailsa,

Thanks so much for the recommendation. I did not recommend the Bookbinder of Jericho, but will put it in my library queue today!! That always makes me happy.

Have a fantastic day and thanks again for the recommendations.

Did you recommend reading The Bookbinder of Jericho by Pip Williams? If so, thankyou very much, if not get yourself a copy, it so good, It’s about a girl who works at the Oxford University Press as a bookbinder, the process of binding is described so well, I looked it up on Google, just fascinating! It is set during World War 1 and describes some of the rationing, the men who volunteered & how it affected the workers and their families.
At present I am reading the previous book to this, The Dictionary of Lost Words, set at the end of the 1800’s and beginning of 1900’s, about the setting up of the Oxford dictionary, another fascinating book and being written by an Australian makes it special!!

Re:tomato plants.
I leave any imperfect dropped tomatoes in the bed on the ground. I find they sprout new plants in the spring. Even though they may seem small at first they eventually catch up and out perform started potted transplants.
