I (finally) have a southern window--it's big and in the kitchen, a perfect place for basil.<BR/><BR/>I'll be saving tons of my own zinnia seeds this fall. Zinnias are beautiful, tough, and edgy enough not to be just a flower. Lots of critters like them, too. Maybe dannye's plants are partial to dannye. Or maybe some of his zinnias did germinate, and I confused them with mine (as if zinnias could either be "his" or "mine."<BR/><BR/>Not sure yet what I'm going to plant next spring, and I have a micro-vocabulary in garden plant names. Still, we plan to tear up another section of the front lawn and will be tossing in lots of different things into the ground. <BR/><BR/>We have dill volunteers, but I have no idea what a money plant is. I'll go google it.doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12901661320505882735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-47951801987604290092008-09-27T02:20:00.000-04:002008-09-27T02:20:00.000-04:00Zinnia is Dannye's signature flower.

Dill? mmmm micro green dill. Bronze fennel? Maybe oregano, it had flowers but I'm not sure about seed.

Planted indoors, even in relatively poor light, but good light would be best, I'm predicting basil will germinate and grow <I>some</I>. I figure <I>some</I> is good enough. Basil is basil flavored and smells like basil from the cotyledon on. Hmmm google these words: micro green basil. I think I'm behind the times, this has already been invented. Oh well, I'm doing it anyway. Plant seed close and harvest plants young for winter.

Making connections matters, but many of us (and I'm right at the top of my own list) scurry away when we start seeing how what we do affects everything else.doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12901661320505882735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-21213002816466488712008-09-22T22:13:00.000-04:002008-09-22T22:13:00.000-04:00Almost forgot--the picture of the horseshoe crab a...Almost forgot--the picture of the horseshoe crab at sunset at the top of the blog was Leslie's, taken at the edge of the Delaware Bay this summer.<BR/><BR/>I steal her photos fast as she can take them.doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12901661320505882735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-52439774917016090222008-09-22T22:08:00.000-04:002008-09-22T22:08:00.000-04:00@bill,I'm just starting ecology with my sophomores...@bill,<BR/><BR/>I'm just starting ecology with my sophomores this week. A few of them may become financiers of one sort or another. I wish I knew a way to fix the disconnect. It's not just the money people, of course. <BR/><BR/>Still, they know enough about limited resources to buck up oil futures today. So long as we put as many into the ground as we take out, we owe our lives to petroleum. <BR/><BR/>@momomom,<BR/><BR/>I just saved some basil seeds, will save some more next weekend. I am also going to grab some zinnia seeds--dannye sent me a bunch this year that never germinated. Any ideas?<BR/><BR/>(Most of the photos are lifted off the National Archives. If I ever get my Cape May blog going, I'll start posting more of my own.)<BR/><BR/>(And let folks at E2 know I'm thinking of them.)doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12901661320505882735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-61356255710089333412008-09-22T21:31:00.000-04:002008-09-22T21:31:00.000-04:00I like this forum for your words.

Can't blame them. They were never taught that.<BR/>If financiers truly understood what wealth was, it wouldn't magically appear (bubbles) or disappear (corrections) with the execution of market orders.<BR/>Thanks for this post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
