Hi Neighbor!

I'm down south of you in Santa Cruz. How did you do today with the heat? My plants were NOT happy.

Thanks so much for the info on the California Pepper tree. Your photos are beautiful and your garden looks like paradise. You must have the perfect growing climate. I have tomatoes and about 8 different kinds of peppers, eggplant and asparagus, radishes and lettuce, spinach and I just put okra seeds in the ground. Thanks again for your help.

Wow, your garden is gorgeous! I loved looking at your photos of such exotic/tropical flowers (it's cold here in Maine, birds of paradise and calla lillies are only seen in florist bouquets). It looked like maybe your veggies were grown in a community garden?

Hello Sumitra, Thankyou for sharing your pictures. Your students are beautiful. I thought of you the other day as I watched a documentary about Nepal on the television.

My father-in-law Fred Pond died ten years ago. He loved his garden and I still miss him a lot especially at this time of year when the seed catalogues start arriving. The Pond family lived on a seven acre homestead of sorts in Westford Massachuset...

I think this might need it's own category, don't you? Tomatoes are one of the most popular things to grow and we've been placing them in all kinds of groups, but the fact is we almost all grow them, and they have specific needs.

The cooking shows are entertaining, but that's all. Some of my favorite recipes started with notes handed down from family. They're still as good as ever. James Beard, Joy of cooking, and Professional Chefs Manural are good references. I have over...
