Good luck w/your garden. Seattle has such a great climate for greens & brassicas (cabbage, broccoli, cauli, kale, etc). Your season is even longer than ours here. There are a lot of really great garden centers in Seattle, too. The smaller ones (not Lowe's, etc) usually have very good advice & seeds/plants. Once you figure out your Zone, a good gardening book will tell you what to grow when. My favorite for just starting out is Victory Garden, which gives a month-by-month schedule.

I just moved into a place in Seattle and want to get started on a winter garden. I've only done a few garden projects, and not too much winter garden experience, so trying to learn the 'usual suspects'. Anyhow, happy birthday! Woah, just what I needed to read.

I heard from Javantea that it is your birthday on Tuesday. You don't know me but I get to meet Javantea tomorrow to talk about his company. I wouldn't normally cash in on brownie points (http://www.cell-game.com/page/jav_blog/40) but after reading a few of your blog entries, I think we're kindred spirits. And, completely unrelatedly but somewhat relevant, I am traveling to Arlington for work tomorrow. Small world. Anyway, happy birthday this Tuesday and Namaste. Hi Sara.

Pictures please, of places and food! As to GR, the weather is usually fantastic into early October. After that storms can come, but the real yuck doesn't hit until later. Any time you want to plan Greek stuff or just wander through web sites, try gogreece.com - lots there! Sara, guess I feel the same way about you in MX. Pictures please, of places and food!

(can you hear me screaming from here?) I thought you just got back from Greece? What is it like in the Fall/Winter? Oh. My. Goddess. I am so jealous. No, not jealous, b/c it's not like I don't want that for you & Sandy. I just want it for me, too. (I've heard that that's what being jealous is about. It's a sign that it's something you should be working toward. Pls give your friends my email addy ;) ) Holy Toledo. That sounds darned near perfect. You MUST take pictures of your meals this time. I can hardly even imagine what all you'll be eating. Trying to make Greek food w/American ingredients (and I've tried) is a mess. Yes, I can make baklava & avgolemeno, but it's not the REAL thing. Checking my frequent flier miles... NOOOO!!! (can you hear me screaming from here?)

The Gabalot web site is delightful. I especially liked the photos; Janet is someone I'd enjoy knowing. You accused Deb of taunting you - now it's my turn. In 3 weeks we'll be in Greece on the island, eating fresh eggs, using virgin local olive oil, and eating whatever's still in season from our buddy's organic farm. No to mention various versions of grape juice left to sit around and ferment... Thanks, Sara! The Gabalot web site is delightful. I especially liked the photos; Janet is someone I’d enjoy knowing.
