I'm thinking about putting it in flower beds, it really is a fairly pretty flower. I have some of the purply-red kind (it turns green when you cook it) so it would be ornamental.<BR/><BR/>I have the complete tightwad book (the big one sold at Sam's and Costco) and I find it a very useful tool.Gaiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10326137343295543209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31233261.post-36831825738202615742007-04-13T17:26:00.000-06:002007-04-13T17:26:00.000-06:00Your post is an amusing bit of serendipity.

"No, no, you <I>mustn't</I> go invade other countries on <I>my</I> account. Really. I insist."<BR/><BR/>Fried okra sounds good. I haven't been able to grow okra worth beans out here. I suppose there are some crops which simply do better in your area. Enjoy it in good health!Tanya Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15919250829858831002noreply@blogger.com
