plants

Yesterday at lunch, two of the staff were maneuvering a cart through the cafeteria, loaded with little tomato starts. They saw me eyeing the labels, and said here, here, have some, we can't fit all these in the garden. So I ate lunch with two tomato plants sitting by me on a paper plate, and continued puzzling out their labels. Brandywine and J*e Fl*e (I had to Google for this one) -> Jeune Flamme.

Today at Tilth sale: Eryngium bourgatii, cilantro, tomatillos (triumph of hope over weather forecasts).

Even a little E. bourgatii is a bit of a pain to repot. I hope to get it in the ground before it gets too large.

You have a tomato garden at your work, tended by staff?

They have a little herb garden. I think it's actually more for fun than for food prep, but some of each. And maybe the tomatoes are going in a P-Patch offsite? I'm not clear on that.
