May 4

Everything’s sprouting.  The eggplant looks awful. The chiles look somewhere between crappy and kindof okay.....

Today I looked in the freezer and saw about two dozen bags of frozen okra still sitting in there looking at me and all the while, we’ve got NEW okra popping out of the ground out in the garden........so, I made an executive decision:  I got a Wal-Mart bag, filled it up w/ bags of frozen okra, and took it to the homeless shelter on Amador.

They didn’t care that it was homegrown and home frozen, they took it.  I hope they really really like okra.........
