Interesting link! I was attracted by Jutland. I have no use for four plants (the minimum order) unfortunately and I can find no commercial source of seed. Has anyone tried growing Jutland? I did find contact information for the woman who supplied the Jutland seeds to heirloomtomatoplants but I don't want to bother her if there is a seed seller who has them. I would love to compare Jutland to Mountain Magic.

Gorgeous! Not often I vouchsafe a "like" on kale.

Today was my baking day as well! I'm finally sitting down to my mai tai while a couple of loves are cooling. Maybe pictures later. My considered take on last week's Gaahkoeh: great accompanying a soupy braise. For work sandwiches, not so much. I may make again. Particularly considering I have a lot of leftover rye flour to go through.

Some peas fell out of my freezer this evening while I was fetching ice cubes and I noticed there was some meat beneath. I jammed the peas and meat back in as best I could.

Hmm...wonder what my tax refund will be like?

Inquiring minds are waiting patiently.

But at least here the Mountain Magic plants cost no more than other varieties.

I can't help but mention the Precise Heat Mixing Bowl.

The dead ones I respectfully buried in the trash. The new peas I planted about an inch deep, maybe a little less. My basil and the one lorn pea plant are doing splendidly. I would love to hear of your results with fertilizer.

Mountain Magic has been my goto tomato for several years. No question there! But consider the economics. Seeds are so expensive there is no reason not to buy plants. I get mine from Burpee. I hope also to find a Ramapo plant, or I may tackle them from seed. Not something Burpee caries. Recently I have been growing Kelvedon Wonder peas from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds, a variety Nigel Slater recommends.

If I'm not mistaken Midnight Moon is available near here. What did you think of it?

Lamb shanks here tonight as well! Still working through the batch I showed a few days ago.

It is with great sadness I replanted most of my peas.

Is that an adjustable height marble table?

There is no LL Bean near here. Interestingly in our new mall where Whole Foods is coming LL Bean is to be the anchor store.

You could call room service and complain the fruit crisp they delivered to Mr. Beal wasn't cooked enough.

To reply to myself, Marcella beans worked wonderfully. Now, can anyone describe the differences between RG Flageolet and Mogette de Vendee?

Lovely renovation. Now what about the CSO? In this country of course power points are slide presentations.

Another data point: my Prime Now order just arrived complete, promptly, and well packed. Of particular note the Lady Alice apples actually look like Lady Alice apples. Unlike the last occasion. Everything looked good. Perhaps Whole Foods are getting better. And now I am hungry.

There is a 1999 Bezos quote in the NY Times today: "The vast bulk of store-bought goods...you will order electronically. Some physical storefronts will survive, but they'll have to offer at least one of two things: entertainment value or immediate convenience."

The current state of the garden. Note I was wrong about my second pea. Now I am a little worried. No signs of life from the other five pods at all. I'm wondering how long to wait before I replant.

Red wine also works for baby induced insomnia,

You'll never make a successful horror film out of a 400 pound piece of candy corn.

I was impressed that they dropped a 400 pound Peep for New Years, even though I don't celebrate holidays myself. How can one not love a 400 pound (28.57 stone) Peep?

Jeff is apparently building a Whole Foods next to me so I have no complaints. Even if it's dreadful just being there should keep Shoprite on its toes. And besides there is always Wawa.
