[Ag-eq] garden

[Tracy Carcione via Ag-eq]

Hi Nella.
Nice!
My eggplant almost never works out, but I keep trying, because I love 
eggplant.
I'm still getting lettuces.  I've got a ton of arugula, which I'm going to 
use some of with pasta tonight.
I got my first oregano harvest last weekend.  I have lots more to cut, but 
no good place to hang it to dry.  I'm debating getting a little dehydrator.
I bought a Cuban oregano at the town garden sale.  It has a great, spicy 
oregano smell.  It has really thick, fuzzy leaves, sort of like geranium 
leaves, but even thicker.  Maybe I'll try chopping up a leaf with my pasta 
tonight.

I'm way behind in planting.  I strained my back a couple weeks ago, and I've 
had trouble getting down on the ground, but it's finally getting better.
Tracy
