Burpee just emailed a confirmation that my little Fignomenal Fig tree has shipped, which I will put in a big outdoor pot,
and hopefully be able to drag inside for the winter. Maybe...let's see how big it gets. I really am not a fig person, though always liked
fig newtons as a kid. As usual, I give this stuff away.
Burpee also confirmed shipping an Early Girl tomato, an Atlas hybrid tomato, a peppigrande red hybrid sweet pepper, a Costa Rican hybrid sweet pepper, a poblano pepper and lastly some
Kentucky Colonel mint.
once this stuff is planted, I head for the nursery at Rice's Market a mile away and go nuts among all their veggies. Actually, going to price check them first; they used to be a really good deal, not any more. My favorite is a place called Bountiful Acres in Lahaska, which I've been going to since I was a child. They are more expensive, much higher quality, and they give you "bonus bucks" you can come back in June and spend. I spent 600 dollars there last Spring (buying all my stuff, not growing them like this year)
so I got 60 dollars in bonus bucks to use for anything in store.
They've been doing this a long time.
I have about thirty bonus bucks so far, probably will buy a small shrub with it in June.
and of course the cost of this is built into the product but it's fun anyway. Fun is good.
there have been some multiple posts recently, I'm wondering if the TBN mainframe is having indigestion.
