FBG, no offense taken. I'll send you the same message when you are eating July tomatoes and I'm struggling to keep my plants alive for the fall...
I want two of those bumper stickers! Actually, I'd like a whole batch of them to hand out. I know several folks who are in imminent danger of...
Rockhound, that's what I thought at first--perilla or shiso. But when I tasted it, it had a basil tang. I truly think it is a basil that has...
Happy anniversary, and wishing you many, many more!
I hate it when that happens! It's even worse when you order something that needs to be planted, and you get a back order notice. I ordered five...

I just have to add, folks here are the kindest and best, as well as having impeccable taste in antiques and "junque". I also think we are all on...
So happy that you won a much deserved award from your peers!
