Hi, Kay, We in L.A.'s San Fernando Valley are in for two more months of HEAT. It was in the high 90s and 100s all last week. We got a break yesterday, and will likely not have to run a/c all week. Beefmasters are coming in at between 1 and 2 lbs apiece. Artichokes are growing for their second go-round, and the fire-engine-red serrano chiles are almost too pretty to eat. I, too, am looking forward to cooler weather, but also enjoy a garden that keeps on going and going and going, like the Energizer bunny:) Ron Van Nuys, CA Kay Lancaster wrote: > On Tue, 31 Aug 1999, margaret lauterbach wrote: > > > You probly don't want to hear what I've got to say, George, but I'll say it > > anyway.
