For lunch I made rice with snowpeas, green onions, and parsley from my little garden patch. I pulled up all the radishes -- they didn't do well, but I have a few more coming up. Spinach bolted almost immediately. the tomatoes finally look like they're going to grow a bit. We had such a cold spring. Basil died. I've replanted some of that too. Carrots, beets and turnips look really great this year so far. Onions, both sets and seeds, look good. And I've had several batches of lettuce to wilt and dress. The row of mesclun has some really strange things in it, very bitter, and now almost woody. I'm not sure what it is, but I don't want to eat it.
the crab recipes sound great. I grew up on Puget Sound eating clams we dug ourselves and Crab Louies. If i buy a fresh crab here in Idaho, I am often disappointed, but I have located a decent canned dungeness for making crab cakes.
Would you part with your crab cake recipe?
What kind of crab and how do you eat them? I am a DUngeness and King Crab lover. (to eat, not pet)

My dear old gran told me never to pry,
cos I'd see something that would make me cry,
yet perusing storm's site
I saw your note
dissing me a a liberal,
Is that what you wrote?
A liberal? moi!
say it ain't so,
Lloyd George would spin

if it were so.
Just thought I'd pen a pome,
to let you know
what a lurker I am
if not a poet.

What makes the calendula so special for you?
I also have a question for you. If you would have to put together a herbal first aid kit, what would you put in ( lets say 5-10 herbs or herbal preparations)
I would put Echinacea/ Goldenseal tincture, Calendula and/or Comfrey ointment, Lavender essential oil, Anise/ Fennel/ Carum carvi tea, Ginger and Turmeric powder and probably Passiflora tea and Orangeblossom hydrosol.
