Since you > didn't plant 50,000 basils and 100,000 tomatoes this year. <BSEG> My lack of a garden really got to me by May 5. So I scrambled to get in a few things. Six tomato plants (pitiful, pitful); 6 eggplant, 6 peppers; 4 rows of popcorn, 3 bean teepees, 6 squash; 5 pounds of 'taters.. I feel a little better, but the tiny amounts are depressing as all get out. The shallots Margaret sent last Fall are a glory....I figure they will be ready to harvest in less than 30 days. Just in time for me to start seed for a REAL fall garden <bg>. Catharine
