Leeks, carrots and seals at the compound
Yahooooo! The peas are coming up! So are the lettuce and carrots.
The leeks, which were shipped from Maine to Minnesota to be blessed by my earthly father before being sent to me, are also in the ground.
I’m kidding about the blessing thing. My Dad ordered a bunch of baby leeks and we split them. He sent me half in the mail, along with some potatoes.
I put them all in the ground the Sunday Osama Bin Laden died—although I hadn’t heard the news yet. I doubt the one event will effect the other. However, I’m now referring to my Fulton Township home and garden as a “compound.”
If the Navy Seals bust down the door this fall, we’ll offer them leek and potato soup, and all the intelligence they want about Al Kitty Bob’s covert operations with the ground squirrels.
And in other news: Don't forget this weekend's plant sale at Rotary Botanical Gardens.

Leek and potato soup - does the tall man eat non-meat food (or do you throw some pork into it?)
