...& we have EE's in '08

Saw three sprouts from the main tuber and one from one of the 4 others I planted...we will have EE's again! ...just kind of slow in getting going this year. (pic taken 7/6/08)

the only no-show is the castor-bean...planted 4 seeds and none took...may try a few more in a new location.

Good 'garden' Gospel today...

Gospel Mt 7:15-20

Jesus said to his disciples: “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but underneath are ravenous wolves. By their fruits you will know them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Just so, every good tree bears good fruit,and a rotten tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit,nor can a rotten tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut downand thrown into the fire. So by their fruits you will know them.”
