Sure PG, when I find out I can post whether they ship or not. I keep arguing with myself about going back and buying the other one too. Fortunately, I won't be able to go back until the end of next week so by then hopefully I will have a grip on myself! Hubby isn't nearly as intrigued/obsessed with plants as I am, so he thinks I have more than plenty already. LOL

Yep, Tom and Kat. That's the plan. I'm booked with family in town this weekend, but next weekend I'm going to get the bed all fixed up and put some store-bought plants in there so we can get going. Then when the new batch of seedlings is ready, I'll put them in too. Then I'll spend all winter defending the tomatoes from the puppy, who thinks farming is just the most wonderful thing because it allows him to supplement his diet with tasty almost ready to pick tomatoes, sapodillas that fall, entire broccoli plants (broccoli is going out front this year - only broccoli we ate last year was from two plants that didn't fit in the broccoli bed in the back and got stuck in a front bed, a shame because broccoli was always so happy in the so-called broccoli bed, but it only took Atticus a few minutes to decimate them one morning when our backs were turned, he's sneaky that way) and so many cherries he gets sick (we've gotten rid of all the cherries finally.) As for the book, I'll definitely let everyone know when it's out. I'm pretty excited about the whole effort.

No John no ground to put it in(. Mike what should I do about the soil this ponderosa is in? It looks like topsoil and sand. Do I need to try and put it in 5-1-1? or leave it alone until spring? My trees are still outside, day time temps are 75 to 80 nights have been anywhere from 44 to mid 50's. Could i just remove some of the soil and not disturb the roots too much and put it in another pot with 5-1-1 on bottom and top? Any advice ? Thanks

Many thanks for the good wishes!! I do try to celebrate all month long, and especially on the 19th!

Since this is a milestone b-day (60!), my sis threw a party for me & family earlier this month at Captain Jack's on Pacific Coast Highway--best Alaskan king crab around, and prime rib so tender it melts in your mouth!

This weekend, DH is throwing a party for me and friends at a local favorite restaurant.

Slept late today, woke to the rain (which I love), puttered around, did the email, made a Costco run, enjoyed phone calls of people calling me and singing the birthday song, or a birthday song they composed, then DH took me out for dinner. I enjoyed New England clam chowder, prawns wrapped with prosciutto, grilled asparagus and steamed haricot vert, followed by creme brulee with fresh strawberries. Oh, roll me out the door! It was a perfect day. It's still raining, we're home and warm, the dogs are inside being clowns, so, since it's a bit after 7:30 pm here, it's still a perfect birthday day!

Y'know, I DO have the Cooking Forum as a favorite... not sure why it didn't show up for the Birthday Elves. Let me know if I'm missing something, okay?

Here's a photo of the cake my sister ordered for my birthday celebration--it's a white cake with caramel mousse filling, covered with chocolate buttercream, and then, chocolate ganache was poured over it. Ohhhhhh, yeah!

Thanks again for all the birthday wishes!
Smiles,
Sooz

Thanks for the continuing birthday wishes! Yes, the cake tasted as decadent as it looked. (swoon)

Here is a photo of the "insides." The photo at this Epicurious site looks pretty darn much like what we had inside the cake, and gee, look! There's a recipe too! How cool is that? Someone please make it and post your evaluation of it, okay? I'm a bit overloaded with sweets, y'know? lolam

Here is a link that might be useful: Caramel Mousse

A belated happy Birthday, Sooz! I didn't see this yesterday morning, and I don't often get back to the computer in the evenings. It sounds like you had a wonderful birthday. DH loved turning 60. It was the first birthday he was excited about since I've known him. I think it had something to do with that retirement age approaching. :-)

Oh my, sooz, that cake looks delicious and decadent. I love the chocolate ganache over chocolate buttercream idea, no such thing as too much chocolate!
