How delightful! Have been starting to reflect on what to try this year.

My initial hunt for yellow tomatoes was strange. Packets mostly in the $3 range with seemly similar seeds from a major seed catalog at $45. Found some tiny cucumbers (am starting to balk at Gates coatings on available cucs). Reportedly great fresh picked, but mushy one day later? Thanks for mentioning peas.

I see the hot topic at the Dept of Ag is how to deal with bird flu. A hot candidate is to vaccinate of course. On the more promising side, Brook is it says she's looking forward to working with Bobby on MAHA. If more come to consider getting pet chickens (eggs and meat get contaminated with vax), a how to focus study may be welcome.

CPAC!!! Meeting friends. So sorry about Bolsonaro. Hope he's going to be alright. Hope Milei will readily overcome this (intended copy of Trump's coin thing?), flap over the crypto coin thing. My impression is things are going fairly well other wise and he's looking for investments to further his country.

I gatherv one of the CPAC things this years is getting to know Trump's up and coming trooper's for tomorrow. I'm glad he's working on building a transition.

Saturday for your presentation! A clear honor! Will be there in spirit and hoping to see it later. MUCH SUCCESS!

Have a great time!

Jean, Re: Gate's coating on cukes. Stores/grocers I've asked say "Not that they know of." Since even organic veges can have it on them!, by what means do/can you confirm its presence?

The darn stuff melted off. I didn't get to my last cuc soon enough and the baggie it was in held in the evidence. It was soft and gummy on the peel as well. It was an .85 cter. The organics run $4.85. So I gave up on them. My thing with cucs is seeds and peel, which makes it extra offensive.
