Your peas are way ahead of mine even tho I put them in the end of Feb. I found a couple of volunteer white icicle radishes out there this morning. I put them in the zuc last yr. and let them go to seed even saved seeds.

It didn't rain here til I got Bill's lawn mowed and cleaned their house. I am whooped, scarfing down some chow mein from Panda.

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/370230/monty_python_ministry_of_silly...  If you go to this link, you can see the silly walk.  It's the first one.  With 2" of mud on the bottom and the strap disconnected, I had to fling the flip flop out in front then try to step on it to avoid having to walk barefooted in the mud.  Yes, Buffet did come to mind.

I had to go back four pages to catch up on your conversation about sweet potatoes.  Bob, you are so full of information.  I had a sweet potato sprout last fall so I put it in a glass of water and the two vines grew to about six inches but roots never formed on the potato so I tossed it.  When you said you took the "slips" and planted them made me corious.  Can you expound on the process a bit?  Thanks
