That is suppose to say "Please take a PEEK", Not "pee". Will I ever learn to pay attention??? :-) Carrie

I apologize in advance for the long list. I figure the only way I will find these, is if I list them here in the post. So, again, sorry for the book, :-) I have several tomatoes (heirloom) that are not listed on my exchange page, so if you are looking for something in particular, please let me know.

Thank you, Flip! A ho-hum update on my efforts to get Senposai seed from Fedco. Didn't work! The seed was out of stock so I'll try an order a little earlier next season. Maruba Santoh was also ordered too late to plant in the Spring. Instead, I waited until just a few weeks ago and got some seed in the ground - - too late! We've harvested a few messes of Mei Qing Choi that was planted at the same time. The Santoh grows more slowly . . . sheesh! We've had 3 light frosts and now chilly, rainy weather. I guess I may need to be happy with something like a dozen greens I DID get planted in the Spring! But, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the Santoh to prove itself as really hardy and grow just a little more. I really did think that it was the best tasting (certainly mildest) of the greens I grew in 2006. Can't believe it will make it thru to Spring what with our subzero Winter temperatures but I guess I'll know by March! digital Steve

y'all are making me jealous. Down here, the best I can hope for until fall is okra. And I'm planting okra tomorrow. I've got black-eyed peas coming up, but I've never done them before, so that's a long shot. And the cantelope vine died this week (with a fruit not yet ripe, still clinging to the vine, we'll see what happens to it.) I found a green tomatoe lying on the ground below the bush _ the bush that hasn't produced much this year anyway because it was too damn hot, and clearly it's done, dropping unripe fruit in desperation. The sapodilla has failed to produce much this year, though last week I found a giant fruit on the ground. It had been on the ground too long and was buggy (with sapodilla, i've found too long is a matter of hours not days _ they're so sweet and they split when they fall, so you practically have to watch them fall and go grab them to get good fruit. Last year, it dropped so much fruit, that wasn't hard. this year, not so much.) The squash vines are getting scorched, despite my best laid plans (and soaker hoses). The peppers have petered out. The broccoli is coming in all at once, with aphids. The cukes declined to produce. Even my arugula, the hardiest of weeds last year, has died. I may have a few onions yet... but they will be small and disappointing. so in my second year of trying to live a little off the land... I'm failing. And expecting a summer hanging out in the pool, daydreaming about the fall and winter garden. Does anyone else do that, cuz my significant other thinks it's nuts, but he thinks I'm "working" in the garden, while I keep telling him I'm just playing in the dirt?
