There's a GMO project waiting for a bright young Monsanto wizard -- Amaretto truffle trees! ; ) My parents say I used to sleepwalk, when I was about eight. I'd wander around, chanting "Cherry pie, Cherry pie, Cherry pie". I guess I did this regularly. That's better than saying something out of a horror movie, I guess! ; )

So we both are in the camp of gardeners who garden because they like to grow plants. I grow so much more than I can ever eat. Nobody hassles flower gardeners - "What did you do with those flowers?" But with food, we can feel so bad to see it not picked. I try to give a lot to our local food bank. It's a shame that more people don't appreciate how easy it is to grow certain plants -- not every plant, but some are incredibly easy and productive, for most anyone.
