Hi I'm new here invited by sweet Vege (Thank you Vege) and I live on the Eastside of California's central valley (Agri Country) on 4 Acres. I love gardening and am an Out-of-control germinator (I admit it) which I pretty much do year round in a 15' X 24' greenhouse/solar room that is full to over-flowing at the moment with plants that I'm overwintering. Some of you may already know me as MonkeyT. :D

Just wanted to say Hello to everyone and explore the forum...

Hi Caligal, nice to meet you! I'm a CA gal too, but transplanted up to southern Oregon.

Debe, do you have a thermos you can fill? That way you can get two pots maybe before your next lights out.

We have a gas cooktop so we can at least heat up some food when the power goes off. But we would be in a world of hurt because we are dependent on electricity to provide water from our well.

I bought a generator when we bought this place so I would have an emergency source of power. But my farmer friend borrowed it because it is also a gasoline powered welder. He can take that out to the fields where the broken equipment is and not have to get the equipment into his shop for repair. I'm going to have to get it back over here during the months that we are more likely to have the power outages though. His place is where I pick the blueberries.

Thanks everyone for the nice welcome and I'm very happy to meet all of you also...

Hi Mary-Jo, thanks, I love my set-up except during spring weeding (then I'll be asking for volunteers).

Hello Crabbergirl, thanks...I'm glad to be here. Always happy to share gardening and germinating adventures and looking forward to hearing all of yours.

Quack, Quack Miss Mel. Thanks and happy to see our Oregon Gardens duck here (Brrrr...hope you're keeping your feathers dry). ;)

Hi Dale, Welcome to you also and thanks for stopping by. We can be new together!

Hello swindy, thanks and yes Vege is a sweety...really glad to be here.

Hey lynpenny, nice to meet you and you are right, I can already tell this is going to be fun!

Hi Gloria, nice to meet you and you may regret saying that (you'll be hearing all about it soon I'm sure). I really wish everyone could experience gardening with a greenhouse, it opened up a whole new gardening world for me.

Hello Vege, I'm happy to see you. I'm doing great just trying to get thru the Holiday rush same as everyone else. Gee, sorry to hear about your troubles, I hope you have some sort of back-up heat source (we want you to be well for Christmas, hope you're feeling better).

Hi scarez, nice to meet you also and actually I'm a Mont/Caligal. Born in Montana but lived in California most of my life, gardening is much easier here. I had family in Southern Oregon (Ashland) that owned the Chateu Lynn restaurant just in front of the Shakespearean Theater, I always loved driving up there for the Festival.

Howdy Randy, I'm going to take that as a side-tracked Hello (smiling)...nice to meet you!

And in case I get really busy I wanted to wish everyone here a Very Merry Christmas...Stay Warm, Bee Well and I'll see you all on the board. :)

David is out using the chain saw cutting up the limbs that came down during the snow and ice storms. I got pretty cold out there working on my truck, so I'm inside warming up my tootsies. There is a large limb out there laying across the garage and I will probably have to help him with that one.
