Sarah I'm with you. A tomato or two would be ok but my stuff went to waste there was so much. For the price of it along the raod its worth supporting my local farmers.

Just got 25#'s of Blackberries. Cost? ONE bottle of wine + $2.00.

Just froze them for "later"

Just got back from a car show/cruise in our downtown area. It's great to see the old muscle cars from the 50's and 60's.

You are right about not worth the effort to grow your own, just find the local farmer & buy from him, but I enjoy starting evertything from seed in the spring, from veg to flowers!! The guys I golf with think I'm nuts as I look for seed pods on the various flowers on different golf courses in the fall. Whatever floats your boat!! I think I'll plant more flowers then vegetables next year, as long as I plant a lot of marigolds, the deer don't bother these much. The plants are like the wine, you wind up giving a lot of it away anyhow!!

So, today, besides my previously mentioned outdoor chores... I also did my first racking on my first two wine batches (yay!), I cleaned up one pretty nasty red wine stain out of the carpet, and I bought a case of corona and started drinking beer (for the sake of my future skeeter pee).

P.S. I also order Chinese for dinner -- for mik's sake.
