in which I 'fess up and behave greedily

[lolaraincoat]

So having just posted about the tragic unavailability of fresh tomatillos in Ontario, I went off to the garden centre -- well, actually the big tent in the parking lot of the No Frills supermarket, but whatever -- to buy all the vegetables we'll grow this summer, and what did I find there? Tomatillos. I bought two flats of them. So I guess we'll be okay for salsa verde after all.

Now if only naproxyn grew on trees ...

2 flats?

When I said I planted tomatoes, I meant 7 plants, total. You work on a somewhat larger scale than that, with your gardening, don't you? Man, that sounds like serious labor.

And I'll get to see it all, come August.

Well, it was only six plants per flat, so not that much bigger a scale. And I think Fishwhistle planted all of them.

But in the past week we also planted 2 watercress, 4 raddichio, 8 spinach, 4 arugala, 1 eggplant vine, 1 cucumber vine, 15 tomato plants (4 varieties), 6 fennel, 1 zuccinni, 4 brussels sprouts, roughly a dozen assorted herbs, and a rasberry bush. And that's just the vegetable garden. A whole lot of other stuff went into the new flower beds out front.

Thus, you see, the urgent need for naproxyn. Or morphine.

And, whoops, I forgot! beets and onions as well.
