I can get lemongrass, corn and lettuces, no problem.

I’ll get red greens. I like the wording there. Makes me think of Republican environmentalists, or that strange show that used to air on Iowa Public Television.

Hey All!
Our weekends have been pretty busy lately, and either one or both of us are out of town for the next two weekends…but if anyone’s going to be around the weekend of Thanksgiving (11/30), we’d love to host.
