Amen! any coffee is better than none, especially if people around are to survive. ;)

I'm happy with the walking onions. I checked them today when I checked the asparagus. Lots of walking onions, and not much asparagus. Everything was clogged with detritus from the fall, so I moved leaves and cleaned that little area out.

I'm going to see Johnny tomorrow, taking him that Henna book that teaches one to draw and paint on skin. I may not go to see him again as he lives by himself and it's either paint on himself or someone who comes in the door and that might be ME. Believe me, I wouldn't look good with drawings/paint on my face or arms or hands or legs.

I'll check out what is still growing in his garden after this hard winter that doesn't want to stop. We are getting much needed rain now. I am so used to rain down south where I lived, this dearth of rain is new to me.

I'll report what I find at his house including how well he is handling the radiation. Only five days left of his radiation. Maybe I'll turn off the lights and see if he (((glows))) in the dark. :o)

How do those walking onions do in the South? I can’t find whether they are long day or short day. I’ve found that long day onions and shallots, even some garlics, don’t do well here in Alabama. I get lots of leaf but puny—if any—bulbs.
