That's true... someone should take you salmon fishing :~D
Yah... good idea. If only you knew somebody with a boat and some fishing gear...
Gotta do that.
We should ship Corin some fresh salmon too. Because, after all, no one has ever shipped Corin fresh salmon. :-(
or Pilon
There's a lot of people in Seattle that are not prepared to have someone from Florida teach them something about good coffee :~D
OK... ecurbh... the first dead fish-- we mail it to Corin. That'll work... :-)
Have you seen the commercial for the movie where the VW Bus is commenting on how the street lights blink? I love the Jeep next to it that says, "The 60's weren't good to you, were they?" The kids crack up every time they see that!
Heh, didn't see your post before I asked the question about the commercial. It is SO funny! Joseph really wants to see that one!
ROTFL!!! I have to agree! Somebody was on some series drugs while designing that one!
heh heh!
I'm gonna watch it before the jedis do...you never know. Toy Story 2 even had stuff in it I didn't like... innuendo, you know.
Here is the red oakleaf lettuce. See how tall it is? (The one on the right is the tallest one we have.) As it grows, I harvest just the bottom few leaves, which is why the stalk is bald. We have a bunch of lettuce plants, so harvesting just a few from the bottom of each makes for about a daily large bowl of salad!
Now here is the butternut squash I planted from that one I ate. It grows really fast and is just taking off! Steve put scraps of an old housecoat underneath it. I don't know why, but he has a BS in Agriculture/Horticulture, so I guess he knows.
I was afraid it wouldn't produce true, but it looks as if a butternut squash is what I'm gonna get!
Here's my cukes on the left and a Flamme tomato on the right...
Here's a radish outside the garden bed. Apparently it tried to escape but was thwarted by it's own root system.
Looking good! We're trying to decide what to put in the planter box. Something that grows in full sun and likes heat....lots of heat....
Thank you!
Hmmm...window box, eh? Patio maters? Habanero peppers? They're smallish.
I planted one of these:

The garden guru that I mentioned before sold me the transplant. He's known us for years and organizes a yearly garlic festival at OSU. He remembers us because Matthew, when he was about 2 years old, was in the newspaper sniffing a garlic clove at the guru's festival.
This is our eggplant... Rosa Bianca. I've grown them before and they're really pretty!

She likes the coreopsis. I think we're going plant shopping tomorrow.
I'm suddenly filled with anxiety that we might actually have to leave this area...
Corewhatsis?
It just seems strange to have a day off and not be digging in clay....
Those are pretty!!
I like nasturtiums...you can eat 'em.
:-)
