I dunno, she sounds more jerky to me. Why take a chance on a freezer explosion
when you can have jerky that fizzes in your mouth?

The zinnias, nasturtiums and cherry tomatoes just popped up. The basil
from last year seems to be sprouting new growth (still trying to flower,
but maybe it will give that up soon), A few flowers on the potted
apricot tree and lots of buds on the potted orange tree. Life is good.
 
Leeks might be nice. Somebody gave me some maybe 40 years ago, and I
keep thinking I should plant some...

Hmmm. My various starts are either still on the grow shelves or had to be taken
in because of frost. Tradition is that one can't plant safely here until the
week of Easter, and it has been true every year I have paid attention.
 
I gave up the big garden here because it just wasn't financially practical. I
now grow in containers on the back deck, where the deer and groundhog can't
reach.
 
Trying shallots this year, as the prices in the store are always outrageous for
them.
