For the second item, vegatables, Beets still in the ground in my back yard.
http://www.pbase.com/whiterosephoto/image/102564661Thank you all for sending best wishes to my mother-in-law. She is doing well. They will do more tests today on something else. But tomorrow she goes to a convalescent center. This is ok as my daughter is one of the managers and will make sure that she will be well taken care of.
