Does anyone have a catalog carrying this particular daisy. I have
googled
with zip results.

It's "Montauk", not "Montaug". Try the search again. I got over 900
results.




Strangely MA and NY consider both spelling "correct", though the K
ending
is
more common and on most maps. The other is a colonial hold over.

Since the "K" ending was the only one who turned up 900 results, I
stuck
with that. I even found ONE who sells the suckers. I will order in the
early spring.
Many thanks ofr the spelling help.


When you're done with all this, get to Montauk for a few days. Gorgeous
off
season (before Memorial Day, after Labor Day). Makes the cape look like
Chuck E Cheese on a bad night full of little sugar-cranked monkeys. Try
www.royalatlantic.com.


I'd love to go there - I've heard it's lovely. I hate the Cape even in
the
dead of winter. Since my parents and sister live there, guess where I
get
to
be all too often.

It's cheap off season, too. The biggest problem with the place is that
you
(usually) have to go through the rest of Long Island to get there, unless
you're coming from New England and can take a ferry over. That cuts off
half
the filth.


Well Doug, it's hockey season and it's 5 rinks in 3 days a lot here. Oh
the
joys of a travel player and the little house league player too.

Take them to Montauk *now*, when the bluefish and striped bass are hitting
the beaches. Stick surf casting rods in their hands. They'll never go near
team sports again, and you'll get one hell of a dinner out of the deal. :-)
Or maybe three dinners. There's nothing like bluefish that went from water
to kitchen in less than 2 hours.




Can't - it is a family commitment when you get into hockey. And the adults
do enjoy it too!


BUT - oh the thought of fresh bluefish or bass, makes my mouth water. When I
was a kid, we spent most of the summer in a camper near Race Point. I had a
deal with my Mom. On the nights I hated the planned dinner, if I could catch
it and would clean and cook it myself, I could skip the family meal. A few
mackerel or a just legal stripper or blue made an excellent meal for one.
