The bat detector sounds interesting -- we can see them flying about here about dusk. I built a bat house once (its on the barn wall) but I'm not sure there are any in there??; 27 September 2011 at 18:57

April and May will just have to be store purchased. After you taste an heirloom tomato, though....wow....you can never go back to grocery store perfect red orbs.; 29 September 2011 at 00:45
