Hi Dave,

 RH> Our stuff decomposes and gets tilled into the yard. When we moved into

 DD> When I moved here to my little bungalow the highway department had
 DD> just finished widening the North/South road in front of the property.
 DD> And
 DD> they reseeded what they had torn up for kerbs and sidewalks with the
 DD> cheapest" grass"  seed mix their low-bidder could come up wit - which
 DD> involves lots of timothy and dandelions. I'm going to install zoysia
 DD> grass this week-end so it can get established before we get the first
 DD> frost and it goes dormant. If all goes according to plan in about five
 DD> years it will have choked out the timothy and dandy-lions.

Hopefully sooner. The road by our place is wide enough but we're
thinking it needs a traffic light at the end just up from us. There's
only a stop sign on our side and getting out onto South Main can be a
real problem at times, especially if you need to make a left turn. There
have been times we've gone down to the other end of the road and gone
round Robin Hood's barn to get to where we needed to go because we
couldn't turn left.


 RH> He gets migraine headaches from it, benadryl doesn't help.

 DD> Sounds like my allergy to marijuana - which also includes projectile
 DD> vomiting. On the upside - that allergy gor me out of the 1960s
 DD> more-or- less intact.

 DD> Eeeeewwwww. That's tough.

 DD> Does the corn allergy extend to hominy and/or grits? I would not miss
 DD> those but there are some who like them.

 RH> We just avoid all forms of corn for him .

 DD>      8<----- SLICE ----->B

 DD> If I can locate some green 'maters this late in the season I'm going
 DD> to make this with chickpeas/garbanzos.

 RH> Shouldn't be too hard to find green tomatoes this time of year--just
 RH> ask the ones that have been keeping you supplied with the ripe ones for
 RH> what you need. Probably have a few more weeks until the first frost
 RH> takes them out.

 DD> True dat. Or the morning after the first serious frost.

About when do you have your first frost? Ours may come in late October
or early November; in AZ we got it around Thanksgiving.

I'll pass on those, not into eating that kind of bug, thank you.
