It's time once again for




This week I have a lot of little projects all over the house that would bore you out of your mind. It's also Mardi Gras weekend here, which means gumbo, red beans and rice, an adult beverage or two, and good friends. It also means nothing productive will happen on Saturday. Except for a good time with good friends and it doesn't get more productive than that in my book.

I have one project that might interest you, though. We are starting our tomato seeds so they will be ready to put out in the garden at the end of March.



The pellets expand when wet, and then you just drop your seed into them and it grows. Like magic. When you are ready to transplant you just put the whole deal into the garden. They are made of coconut husk. Pretty groovy.

We have several heirloom varieties that we are trying this year, mainly because I can't stomach the idea of giving Monsanto my business, but also because we are making self-sufficiency a goal. It will take a while to achieve it, but if these guys can do it in Pasadena, then we can do it in the Dallas suburbs. One of us is eventually going to have to be the president of the HOA to remove some of the ridiculous restrictions, but for now we're changing what we can, and when nothing is left to change legally, we'll start working on that end of things.

Wow, that's probably more than you wanted to know. How about I start over.

We're planting tomatoes this weekend. The end.
