Ask me this fall.  The bottle I have left will last me until then.  Then the Polish Cyclons I am growing this year will be done and I will be making it again.

If you can catch it and kill it, or grow it, dont buy it.

Beware of tuna, canned or otherwise. Tunas are high on the food chain, therefor they tend to concentrate pollutants. There is apparently a lawsuit going filed by a woman who got mercury poisoning eating a can of tuna every day. Actually though even the markets and the media are warning people not to eat huge amounts of tuna.

That's not the only fish high on the food chain. One of these days someone should post a ranking of the fish based on how safe they are considered. It also makes a difference whether they are natural or farmed.

BH:  I know how you feel about all those TW potato varieties.  I think I had 30 separate varieties.  I just planted each one in a two gallon nursery pot as I didn't have enough room.
Since I'm in Zone 9, I'm thinking I can get a second harvest.  Here's my question:  do I harvest them or just leave them in the pots after the top leaves die back?  Unfortunately, I'm  not seeing flowers on most of them and they are the viable seed types.  If I leave them in the pots, do I just keep watering them and will they resprout, or should I take them out, store them and then plant them later.  Potatoes are new to me.

BTW, I haven't had any time to visit the forum.  maybe now and then to read a bit, but I'm still catching up with the garden after being gone four weeks.
