Well it is that time that we start getting our seed and Dahlia catalogs in the mail. I love to peruse through the catalogs and daydream about warmer days. I have been flipping through the Territorial Seed catalog as well as the Swan Island Dahlia catalog. If you have never been to the Dahlia farm in September it is truly a treat. You should really check it out. Acres of beautiful flowers. It is much more rewarding to get up and close the these beauties. As far as the seed catalogs go it is amazing how many different types of beans there are. Green, yellow and purple. I had to purchase a few types. I am truly excited about a dark almost black tomato. It originates from Russia and apparently has a taste that is indescribable. Rich and thick. Sounds good to me. I can never resist the interesting tomato breeds. I am going to take a shot at growing eggplant this year. Big Daddy (Danny) loves eggplant Parmesan. So we'll see if we can get some good meals out of those.
On another note a friend of mine was so inspired by all my talk of my worm bin. She found it necessary to carve a scare crow from a potato. He is now happily living among the worms. Protecting them from any intruders. I hope to give a class at my plant exchange on worm bins for all those enthusiast even those of you that just want to recycle more.
