I'll be heading out to the garden soon with the 1 lb margarine tubs and a cheap bottle of beer to entrap the snails and slugs. This is about the time they start appearing and they can do major damage.

I had a potato coming up in the temporary compost pile, but it has suffered some kind of setback. I don't know if I want to try to transplant it to the regular veggie bed or not. I've had to but a wire enclosure around the garden to keep the dog out. That's new this year--a dog.

Big Pink Lad: I saw an article in Martha Stewart Living recently about some of the Siberian tomato cultivars that are quite striking in their appearance and flavor. Are you doing some of those?
