Hi, PennyN, We've been invited out for twin lobsters tomorrow evening -- wonder what melted yellow dip will be served....? Harvested the last of the "crops" (big word for mini-returns): Sweet 100s cherry tomatoes still producing, regular tomatoes green, 3 cukes (2", 1.5", 1" but all edible!), 10 big bok choy, 3 green peppers, 2 zucchinis (3", 2") and 2 pints of raspberries. The nights have been down to 24*, and yet certain things live on -- the raspberries seem unaffected, so far, and the geraniums (pelargoniums) are blooming their heads off! Huge storm front has reached my kids in mid-US, and that usually means we'll have it in 2 days. We're still in drought conditions, but I would hate to have a real nor-easter, even if it's really a nor-wester.. Jimmie's standing by with two snow shovels, grinning from ear to ear. BTW, there's an item I've torn out of -- I think it was the Williams-Somona catalog -- featuring a cooked boneless prime rib roast which will keep for two weeks refrigerated, and only costs $150 plus shipping. That's $150.00... For $150, I would go myself and prepare the darned thing, fresh and piping hot!
