I have heard that Stone Barns is wonderful (got a gift certificate for my in-laws last year and they had a wonderful time there). I've been thrilled to see that farming (of the organic, sustainable kind) appears to be on the rise there lately as it was definitely not something that was big when I was growing up there. I hope you don't mind but your wonderful post spurred me to write one of my own (and I featured the art packs). I did provide a link back to your post as the source of my inspiration :) Love your blog, by the way! Hi Willi,

It is so beautiful there! Apparently it is becoming quite the center of sustainable agriculture on the East Coast. If you ever are back there, be sure to check out Stone Barns--it's on the old Rockefellar estate and is supposed to have a really amazing farm and restaurant.

It's interesting that it grows so well for you in Oklahoma and for me in Seattle. I just think it has the best flavor and I love it as a baby green and as a head lettuce.

The seeds come wrapped in a little glassine envelope, so that is totally doable! Sar--Such a bummer about plants and the border. I once tried to bring back some plants from Vancouver, BC and the border agent confiscated them! Eek! Anne--I love the new calender! Is October really Popcorn Popping Month? Tigress--Aren't you on the East Coast? I bet there will be some great varieties for you? Maybe even some ones that work well with canning! Emmaleigh–Good idea.

I guess however these lovelies are not available to us north of the border, given rules about seed and plant exporting... fabulous all the same. What a fantastic idea!
