Spring at last!

I am overwhelmed by the wonderful e-mails and guestbook posts people have written in after I was Mary Ito's guest today on "Fresh Air." Thank you all for listening, and for your lovely comments. Mary is such a charming, interesting lady. We had a great discussion about all sorts of things, from music, to physics, and lots in between. They very kindly provided me with a recording of the interview, so I'll try to post that soon.

As for my garden, I'm delighted to report that my spinach got through that April frost and it's thriving! I've been picking huge bowls full of baby spinach for fresh salad every evening. And the arugula is coming along great, as are my bok choi seedlings. The beet seedlings are a bit delicate still, but the lettuce is getting big. Just a week or so more and I can finally put my tomatoes in the ground. They're getting too tall for their little pots.

We've made a special page with all the Hugh's Room gig details for Sunday, May 24th, so there's a map, a button for reserving, and a link for listening to songs. If you know people in the Greater Toronto Area who might like to come along, I'd be very grateful if you could forward this link to them:

Thanks so much everyone!

p.s. I have a dream of growing okra in a pot this summer. Has anyone ever tried okras in containers? The flowers are so pretty, they look like hibiscus...
