Been interested in Vegetables for many, many years now- and--seriously wish I could grow some of my own. But the soil here has run out of "good stuff" and doesn't actually want to grow "good stuff". But I recall going into the garden years ago and finding my plants full of tomatoes. Might happen again on the driveway. Allie is bringing me plants one of these days.
George has planted Scarlett Runner Bean seeds. I did years ago and nothing happened. I hope George does a better job. I think they attract some sort of insect that eats vegetables. Japanese Beetles.
The "BIG" Birthday Party across the street is today. The Boston part of the family is already here. I think the New York part with the Birthday Baby is an hour South at a high school reunion. 20th.
Just finished the last book in a three book series by Deveraux- this one backed into another series with As You Wish and these three unhappy women get to redo their lives by making a wish and going back in Time. You know- where the landscape gardener plays Polo in the new Life???
I am now reading about a Bookstore in Scotland. Lawyer asks sister to "fix" bookstore that is caked in dust and has no actual system for locating books on the cluttered shelving units. It's also Christmas. So they go up three or four stories in this old crusty building and find a wonderful old train set to put in the front window to attract customers-- who will buy what????????. I love that they go get stuff from the Pound Shop. (we have the dollar store). A Pound Shop here in America would be something else entirely.
So....time to carry water out for George's Seedlings. Then come in to rest up from carrying water. The Resting takes more time than the Carrying. And I have the Christmas Bookshop to read. Colgan. George doesn't know this but I add Miracle Grow Blue stuff to the watering cans.
