For some reason I got up early this a.m., with a hankering to go to the grocery store. Maybe it's because I had plans to make soup today, and knew I was missing some crucial vegetables. Maybe it's because I'm trying to get a free tank of gas by collecting tokens; for that to happen, I have to make six more trips there in the next two weeks, spending $35 each time. That is way more than I usually shop for groceries; maybe I can use this as an opportunity to build up some Mormon-like food reserves. (Anyone want to guess how much I actually spent?)
The electric bike performed like a charm. There were only a couple of pedestrians to avoid down by the river. On the way back, the weight in the back wobbled a bit, making me take it easier on the turns. Not that I'm Evel Knievel or anything.
I picked up a couple of seed packets at the store. They are the Burpee brand so highly recommended by Mr. Red-Icculus.com. Unfortunately, they didn't have broccoli, but I did get some peas and scallions, which would be very nice to have growing nearby.
There's nothing wrong with having lots of canned good around. Tuna (freakily) lasts 10 years if stored in a pantry.
ReplyDeleteAnd Burpee is great as far as seed companies go. I am so excited for their "toy choi" or mini bok choi that finishes at 5".
The only seed company I warn against is Johnny's because someone broke into their computers and stole their customer's identities.
