Besides, these tomatoes are really small. Slicing might not be an option!<br /><br />Lynne: Miskeen is a very handy word. It was a favorite among the Peace Corps volunteers in Morocco! The lost guy didn't seem very threatening, just strangely bewildered. Something wasn't right there.<br /><br />Ms Moon: Stir fry -- now THAT is a good idea. I didn't mean to make you melancholy! In fact, I was trying to be lighthearted. Writer fail!<br /><br />Reya: I'm embarrassed to say I don't know who Ari Shapiro is -- but I'll look him up! Thanks for the kind words. We shall indeed be mulch. Which is kind of comforting. :)<br /><br />Bug: Yeah, we're about to toss ours, too. They've pretty much hit a wall. I had no idea they'd keep on blooming, though.<br /><br />Linda Sue: No, he really did mean Victoria Gardens, which as it turns out is a tiny street off Notting Hill Gate. I could just see us keeping a pig! LOL! I love pigs but I think the neighbors might object. Not to mention Pickles.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-89015192108334967312012-10-23T16:58:34.938+01:002012-10-23T16:58:34.938+01:00Duh, I need to be more awake before I start leavin...Duh, I need to be more awake before I start leaving comments: you DO have an iPhone.. even more mysterious.<br />:)Lynnehttp://www.rickandlynne.com/lynnenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-61451948082201492322012-10-23T16:46:17.728+01:002012-10-23T16:46:17.728+01:00The man probably meant Victoria Tower Garden.

Did he do the silly walk?<br />Our neighbors have a large plastic sheet over their tomatoes, it is very cold but they seem to be ripening. Our climate is much the same here as in London/Kent.

His posts make me think of you; he has the same kind of clear eyed way of seeing the world, with humor, intelligence and appreciation.<br /><br />Mulch is good.

I think I'll start using it.<br /><br />The man sounds like a scam to me. Do you have an iPhone? Maybe it was a ploy to take your phone and if you didn't have one then you were safe. ? I would have been skeptical too. What? You don't know where you work?

I'm wondering why you don't slice those green babies up, dip them in cornmeal or something and fry them with lots of salt?Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.com
