    love living at the very humid Jersey Shore. Great for Tropicals as annuals. I have two sons. Erik is 28 and Tim is 24. Only Tim is still at home. Tom(husband) and I keep very busy during the summer months with 11 gardens(3 veggie) and 65(yes really) pots and hanging baskets. We also have a small wooden boat which we take Fluke fishing as often as possible. Our Jack Russell Terriers love to go on the boat with us. They are both 9 years old. Miranda is a smooth coat and Sprocket has the rough coat. Sprocket caught and killed a groundhog last week. Not a mark on the dog! The groundhog was as big as he is 12 Lbs. [​IMG],.[​IMG]

    Hi Snicks :wave:
    Welcome to the stew from southern Ontario!
    Sprocket looks like a great fisher-dog.
    Your Brugmansia is gorgeous!
