Sometimes I wonder if I am properly tethered to the earth, too. Which then leads me to wonder if I would really prefer to be tethered such.<BR/><BR/>I hardly ever read Garden Rant anymore, either.

Too much drama early in the year and I got thrown off course. Luckily seeds keep quite well, and there's always that Aerogarden. (Which I haven't set up yet...sheesh! :) Yummy omelet...could I have some wheat toast with mine please? ;-)lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18133943147518051559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8759330860236504280.post-8125203467836906522008-06-20T03:32:00.000-07:002008-06-20T03:32:00.000-07:00Hi Chuck, we had magda last night in a pasta dish ...Hi Chuck, we had magda last night in a pasta dish and they were great. The two that were picked were small, about six inches so not big enough to eat alone for three people. There was a crop failure of one of the magda hills so there won't be as many as hoped. The successful group, replanted seeds later when the ground was warmer is getting extra water, that seems to be key.

I had confused them initially with the Darmera we had discussed earlier. Dierama Darmera. I often think I have a mild case of everything, dyslexia in this circumstance. Fairy Wands would be much easier to remember. There are also several rows of what I am guessing are the Clematis stans Christopher C.

Also all the info I'm finding about it are a bit contradictory, some say it is a drought tolerant plant while others say it should be watered regularly and even be planted by a pond. I guess I will have to look further before deciding where to plant it.

It was your post about a talk you attended mentioning that variety that made me decide to devote more time and space to food and it's been wonderful. The sugar snap peas were so many and so tall, we ate them in every meal and finally I had to freeze the rest before we went away, knowing Frances,https://www.blogger.com/profile/03616568389165362993noreply@blogger.com
