Hi Ben,

RH> Sounds good to me. Steve brought home 3 quarts of strawberries from the
RH> local farmer's market about half an hour ago. We know the grower, have
RH> been buying from him ever since we moved to Wake Forest in 2009.

 BC> Yum!

I'll be doing the pound cake--tomorrow. Today is "catch up from the week
end" day and a medical appointment down in Cary (other side of Raleigh)
this afternoon. Nothing on the schedule for tomorrow so.......


RH> My dad was born in January, near Buffalo (read "heavy lake effect snow in
RH> the winters") but somehow his mother managed to get fresh stawberries
RH> every year for his birthday.

 BC> I wonder how she did that?

We've often wondered because Dad was born in 1922 so no frozen foods,
air transport of fresh foods, etc. They must have been trucked in from
(probably) Florida, which meant they weren't prime but just fresh enough
to use.


 BC> Did i tell you my mother planted pomegranate seeds and plans to plant
 BC> a tree?  She watched videos from an Indian farmer who grew pomegranate
 BC> trees that way.  She figures if he can do it in B.C. then she can do
 BC> it here in southern Oregon.

Sounds interesting. Did the videos give any indication of how long it
will take to bear fruit? We planted a fig tree about 3 years after we
moved into this house and about 3 years later, starting getting fruit.
Not many, but it kept increasing its output so now we have to give away
lots of fruit every year as it puts out more than we can use/care to eat
fresh each year.
