Chris -- You're a year ahead of me on the Brown Turkey Fig. We planted it last spring and got four figs! Are you in a place where you wrap it over the winter?
Jen -- Kevin is definitely low-maintenance. Liking a fruit that grows like a weed is yet another example. Of course, he also likes foie gras ...

Rick -- Kevin says we need more readers like you.
Fiona -- Funny you should mention currants. They're next on my list, since it seems they can thrive without full sun. Next year ...

Sara -- I'm sure it says something about you that you enjoy a video of a woman running a log splitter. It certainly says we're meant to be friends.
Tracy -- What a nice thing to say! SInce I seldom give any good advice, the best I can hope for is to make someone laugh. I hope you get through the next 36 hours successfully! (I just filed my extension ...)

Mom -- If I didn't live in the machine age, you can be sure I wouldn't be splitting wood. True to my roots, I'd probably be engaging in the traditional business of Jews -- money lending. You don't make many friends, but at least there's no heavy lifting.
Jen -- As I was writing the post, I was trying to think of a chore involving something that sits around but doesn't season. It's laundry, of course! Why didn't I think of that? I'm glad we have your thumbs-up on the logsplitter. It's an amazing machine.
HZ -- Thanks!
Elliot -- How 'bout that? It's Internet magic. I mention Lovejoy couplings and there you are! So glad to have you! I figured Lovejoy was a family name, but I couldn't let anything spoil my little joke. And your coupling works like a dream! (Notice the restraint in the lewd jokes department!)

Paula -- I'm going to watch the Stamets video as soon as I get a chance. I have a couple of his books, and I've even considered making the mushroom hajj to Seattle for one of his workshops. Thanks for the reference.
Fiona -- Growing things is tough if you're nomadic. You should have goats that move with you, like the Bedouins!
Jen -- Definitely check in with your local mycological society. It's not that you learn so much about which mushrooms are which (although you do), it's that it gives you confidence to go foraging, compare your samples to pictures in books, and actually eat them.
All -- Sorry about the temporary comments glitch. It should be all better by now. Thanks, Amanda, for handling it so smoothly.
