Weekly Gardening PING!!!!!!!!!

I can’t wait for spring! Bring it on.

I’ve started a few crops, lettuce, peas, tomatoes. It’s bit early I guess, for around here but I can start more in a couple more weeks. That way, if we get an early spring, I’m ready, and if not, the second planting will be ready just in time.

Egg prices were 19.5 percent higher in June of 2007 than they were the previous June, the U.S. Department of Labor said. Over that same period, the cost of whole milk rose 13.3 percent, fresh chicken was up 10 percent, apples 11.7 percent, dried beans 11.5 percent and white bread 9.6 percent.

Wait. I thought the CPI (Consumer Price Index) says that things are only going up 3%?

Gosh, sure hope everyone grows corn, because the only reason corn prices have risen is ethanol — not because of ethanol-driven speculation and the $3 a gallon fuel that pushed up the prices of absolutely everything except corn. ;’)

Nothing like fresh picked sweet corn — pick it, shuck it, cook it, eat it.
