Where did you get your exotic okra seeds Miz Catharine? I'm trying the
Kidma cucumber this year, along with Shepherd's Tamra and a variety that
one of the Research & Extension center employees brought back from Egypt.
Well, he brought the seeds back after visiting with his family in Egypt. I
think these Middle Eastern cucumbers were developed to supply water to
whomever eats the cukes. The Tamra has very thin fragile skin, according
to the catalog, so would be difficult to take on treks across the desert,
in a coarse bag slapping against the flanks of a fleabitten camel. Oops,
sorry. Forgot about your touchy digestive system. You say you ate a bad
wienie? I hope it was a regular one and not the footlong kind. Best,
Margaret
P.S. Best not to tweak Alligator Shirley. Have you heard about the size
of his knife?
