Okay, I am conducting an experiment. I have three dishes out in the
"fruit-fly-zone" (another name for my kitchen this time of year). One with
merlot mixed with vinegar, one with just merlot, one with just vinegar. I
will conduct a body count. (Don't worry LB, the merlot was left over from a
bottle I opened at Christmas for dinner with my brother, who didn't show
up.)
Let's see, how can I keep this on topic? I have lots of buds on my thai
pepper plant. Will that work?
