| OK, this isn't a traditional garden message. But, along with playing in the dirt, I've been a philatelist since I was a Boy Scout.
The US Postal Service has issued a new 20 stamp booklet of 39¢ stamps that feature garden "Crops". There's Corn, Beans, Squashes, Sunflower & seeds and best of all...Chili Peppers. You get 4 each of the five stamps. Check 'em out at your local PO. |

| I like the stamps, too. I think the idea is that these are native to the Americas, whereas most other plants originated somewhere else. The USPS site tells about all the stamps they sell. Here's a link to the Crops of the Americas set. |
