Did you grow the coffee or buy it?  What kind of jam?  
Actually, I will look and see.  I may still have some in the garden and
I also have some that I have never used which is sitting in the bag I
dried it in doing nothing.

 My nephew is not even crawling yet so perhaps the potatoes are abit
premature but I will think about it.  I would also like to do more with
the small area so am looking for vegs that do not take up much room and
are easy to work with.  I am blind so I need plants that are distinct
enough for me to tell them apart.  This is important since my husband
does not like gardening and I do not want to pull up something that is a
good plant, thinking it a weed.  
Anyway, I digress.  Drop me a line and I will look for and at my mint.
