Haha, very good - but you didn't have to admit it!
haha well I almost didn't...I was thinking of just pretending it didn't
happen, but humility is *supposed* to be good for the soul :-)

I should warn you that when the asparagus shoots (not the roots which are
white & "sturdy") come up they are almost impossible to see - about as thick
as a hair and quite dark in colour. At least that's how my latest ones
look - just one very flimsy inch-high thing I can barely make out against
the background of the soil. Have to hold something light behind to see them.

Don't know anything about artichokes.

Ok thanks again ;-)

Hey, Bill, put me out of my misery.

I tried to look up "cloribus" in my battered old
Latin dictionary, but no luck, and no Latinist, I.
I assume it's a declined form? Of what?

Por favor?

O Gott, o Gott,
As promised, a new mistake. Coloribus gustibus non disputatum ( Of
colors and taste, you can't dispute). People like what they like and it
isn't open to logical debate.

I got tired of typing it, so I just cut and paste it now. Of course it
just had to have a typo in it. Well, hopefully, that is my humility
lesson for the day and it is out of the way now.

Thanks for the catch.

The link to Peter Lewis' site is dead. I've downloaded Matt Neuberg's
file, but don't know where to go from here. Can't have much faith in a
site that spells Mac as MAC.....

Us "Left Coasters" just love our Macs. But you Bill. Couldn't you just
divert your eyes or something instead of patronizingly offering me a
dictionary;-)

My corn is calling.
