I, too, am so very white going way back! We could be related...way back related...though I have no Finn, just Swede and Norwegian...close, maybe!

The 1% Finnish is actually amazing. It explains a lot about you! The Finns are distinct, with a language that is closer to Hungarian than to any of the Scandinavian languages.

On the other hand, that soil test service is great. I've heard people talk about it on the Houston garden shows, and some have been able to really improve their gardens. It will be interesting to see what they have to say.shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-67016051490451314932016-05-07T21:17:03.322-05:002016-05-07T21:17:03.322-05:00My brother in law has wasted hundreds and hundreds...My brother in law has wasted hundreds and hundreds of dollars and the same number of hours planting a garden, which has failed yearly for ten years. For at least eight I have suggested he have the local soil and water district test the soil. I've even pointed out they are less than five miles straight down the road. Oh, no, he could grow a garden. He always had an excuse--early spring, late spring, not enough rain...<br />This year my sister had the soil tested. It needs major remediation. I think it's past his ability, now.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-91465239230286572016-05-07T21:02:16.553-05:002016-05-07T21:02:16.553-05:00My sister researched my Dad's family back to G...My sister researched my Dad's family back to Germany, no big surprise, since my maiden name is Schultze.
