Just like gardening, you gotta prepare the bed. So it probably ain't
gonna happen real soon but I'm gonna lean up against this fence and see
who comes by. Never can tell.

Huh?

A beautiful day in the neighborhood, particularly back here by the
garden fence, just off Allen's Alley, and we have our first visitor, a
natural conversationalist, the loquacious Ms. Omelet.

How's your pots comin'? The highs in the San Antonio area seem to be
jumpin' around a bit but it looks like you could start gardening any day
now. Nice thing about pots is that they're portable. If'n you're gonna
catch a frost, you can always pack 'em inside at night. Whatcha' plan on
plantin' sides 'maters? If you got 'maters you gotta have basil. If'n
you got 'maters and basil, all you need is a red onion and some
mozzarella for a salad. Lettuce and cucumbers come in handy as well for
salads. I prefer the lemon cucumbers, myself. Yuh can just pick what yuh
need. A little parsley is always nice, too. I don't know anyone that
uses a whole parsley "bunch" at a time. If'n you're gonna plant parsley,
you may as well plant some tarragon, oregano, and thyme while your at
it. Aw hell, your half way to a "potager" as the "Frogs" call it. May as
well lay in some shallots, rosemary, and sage too. Try to keep them
close to the kitchen.

Hope you got a lot of pots. This may be gettin' a little out of control.

I'm havin' a hard time coming up with "runner" peanuts. Any ideas? If it
comes to you, I'll be back here, leanin' on the fence and trying to
wear-in a sweet spot.
