Cabin Fever

Cabin fever has long set in. We are tired of snow. We are tired of white. We are elated on days where it warms up to the 40's because the snow starts to melt. Dripping can be a beautiful sound.
During the next few weeks, we will begin looking at the seed catalogs again, and actually get down to ordering them. Even though we save seeds, we still wind up buying some.
This year, we are trying a couple of new varities of tomatoes from Johnny's Selected Seeds. We like the looks and the description of the Striped Cavern, and the Japanese Black Trifele. With the Japanese Black Trifele, you can hollow them out like a bell pepper and make stuffed tomatotes. My mouth is watering as I think of all the delicious dishes, sauces and salsas that I can make using these tomatoes.
