Gardening

just in case anyone has missed what a treasure we have here at du.
nrl has been my friend for many years, dating back to our time in the hot tub.
my farm would NOT EVEN be what it is today w/o him.

i had only the vaguest idea about heirloom veggies 6 years ago when i started. i had grown brandywines, w little success. i thought they were picky things that would only grow where they had developed.
i knew that he was a serious gardener, that he loved tomatoes, and that he was working on a book.
he told me, imma send you some seeds.
he sent me a big envelope that was an education.
i still grow a big ole yellow that he sent me that year. and his cherokees.

i am glad so many places are growing those drawfs, so i dont have to beg him for seeds every time i have a crappy year.

love you man. hope spring is going well for you.
