Hey Benny,

About 10 months ago you asked me to convert the PDF gardening guides on my website to HTML for easier reading. Today I managed to do just that!

Just in time for winter reading

Is it really winter already??? My bananas are still growing, but barely. Today was gloomy and rained lightly most of the day so it's been a good day for reading and getting my son to shell a lot of walnuts.

Finally catching up on old e-mails. A friend from another group took advantage of a tip passed on from Pete to me and than from me to him and bought 16 slightly used 400w metal hallide lights for about $65 and he'll make me a deal on a couple so that I can skip the winter for a portion of my plants.

Thanks Richard,

Harvey

Oops, my mistake. It was $66.00! These were large commercial units. I even showed them to my wife because I was thinking of bidding on the eBay auction but really didn't know how I'd go about unloading most of them since I didn't need that many. Since my friend owns a hardware store, he was the ideal buyer and will pass on a deal to me for a couple.
