Got tied up with planting fall crops. Just for curiosity, I did a |
| 26 |
search for "print" in Firefox add-ons. Good gracious. We not the only |
| 27 |
ones who want printable pages. There's quite a few add-ons that deal |
| 28 |
with this. Problem is, finding the one that works the best. o_O I bet |
| 29 |
the two you linked to would be a good start. |

P. S. Planted my fall crops: Mustard, turnip and collard greens with |
| 36 |
kale, lettuce, basil, parsley and something else I forget as well. I |
| 37 |
also planted similar crops for two other people. Had a recent rain so |
| 38 |
my garden is turning green again. I like when crops are growing even if |
| 39 |
I don't eat the stuff growing. A lot of people come up and pick stuff |
| 40 |
out of my garden. |
