Hi Jim and all. I am still alive and reasonably well. Know what you are talking about Jim as I passed a small Kidney stone a few years ago. Following one of the least "fun " nights of my life!!! On Topic. Despite reducing the size of my veggie garden this year I have 20+ plants loaded with ripe fruit. The following are available for seeds if anybody needs any. Turkish Cayenne, Makaskrga, Pubelo, Maeskapous, Rawit, Rocotto. Just send me a snail mail addy. Fwiw. Now I am growing less garden. I am not making the nice mustard pickles as in years past. So I bought some from the Supermarket. Something Alec said recently put the idea in my head to improve the commercial product by adding some good home dried Red Hab powder. Works a treat.I shall try adding to other bought products to liven them up. As long as it's not the day the Grandkids are coming to visit. :-) Off fishing for the Easter weekend. So there's still a bit of life in the old dog yet :-) Tony Flynn Grandad. Retired at the beach. Bay of Plenty.
