In my mind they are old and married and have been together for sixty years. At the end of a hot summers day in GA, they sit on the porch in silence and hold hands and quietly think about how lucky they are.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00229102918162435535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17898647.post-62206389088773435592008-07-10T09:32:00.000-04:002008-07-10T09:32:00.000-04:00LOVE baba.

Ren, you probably have trouble with eggplants in this climate because its a little cool for them. Not unlike okra, they like it a little hotter. They also attract flea beetles like crazy so that when you do get them growing here, then you have to battle the flea beetles.CGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04542303804886924280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17898647.post-33768390898412556002008-07-09T18:08:00.000-04:002008-07-09T18:08:00.000-04:00Oh Gail, we'd love to see you guys!

Nicolas can give you some eggplant tips. Will you be at the L&L conference?

That is so exciting!!! I am sure that there is a Whole Foods near you. I wish that we were nearer to you but if we can't be, then I am glad that you can get some of our produce locally. But you still have to meet us at our market (which is maybe half way between us?) once you are more settled.<BR/><BR/>Angie, I like the Calliope the best, especially when they have noses and hats like Pinnochio.Madeline Rainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05075400838213199585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17898647.post-17692753458283317502008-07-08T09:29:00.000-04:002008-07-08T09:29:00.000-04:00Holy Eggplant!
