good morning all
rainy morning, then clearing to high of 68. Yesterday was so nice, no complaints.
my goal was to drive down to Langhorne, about 20 miles South of here, for the
town's Edward Hicks day. If you don't know who he was, no shame, local Quaker painter from 1700s who
notably painted "Peaceable Kingdom". Not sure I want to walk around in the rain but promised the guy who is dressed up as Edward Hicks, from my church, I'd try.
Burpee emailed me, said my tomato and pepper plants were being shipped in two days. I'm ready. Only thing left is to find a couple of eggplants at local nursery. I don't enjoy them but they are such an interesting veggie to grow and folks who like eggplants really like my smaller ones, maybe less pithy inside. Without a really good red sauce on top, I'm not
much of an eggplant person. I'm growing squash also, and like the eggplants, give it all away.
I wish it were warmer here, would like to grow some red okra again. Someone "up here" must like it. Bet I could send some to Toppop...
it is a hot weather plant and I don't think growing season is right here for it, though I did see one hybrid being offered in this area by seed companies.
Bill the picture of you driving that gigantic rig in your slippers is just perfect.
I hope the upset, sadness and drama of family calms down for you. Sorry you all had to go through this.
Doug, you probably have a hundred bucks worth of macadamia nuts lying around. Not so easy to shell I think.
I think it's the most expensive nut you can buy. David has them nearby and you do too.
