 CG> exchange cantelope coffee and/or jam .....
BH>Did you grow the coffee or buy it?  What kind of jam?
I make coffee-substitute out of canteloupe and pumpkin seeds. A 
quaint after-dinner beverage for those who don't want to drink 
coffee. I make my own jam and give it away. Most any fruit that 
is in season. Nectarine, peach and plum, marmalade, and so on. I 
often do a mixture. I made some "Nectartarine" this year - a 
blend of nectarines and tart apples.
BH>dried it in doing nothing.
If you still have it I'll bring my hand-grinder I purchased out 
of Rochester earlier this year and show you how to make mint tea 
....

It seems that climbing vegetables, such as concurbits (pumpkins, 
cucumber etc) and beans would be ideal for several reasons:
        1) they can be trained vertically
        2) once off the ground, weeds don't reach them, so 
           anything that is more than three inches away from the 
           stake is a weed. (keep your nephew indoors during 
           *this* operation!) 
        3) they (climbers, not nephews) tend to have ditinctly 
           rougher leaves, I think.
BH>Anyway, I digress.  Drop me a line and I will look for and at my mint.
Ok I'll bite. If you are blind, how are you going to look at your 
mint? 
Also, before we get tossed out of here and into another 
conference (grin!) what reader are you using? I played around 
with a couple for a friend here in Toronto, then drove down to 
Atlanta to obtain lots of demo disks of other systems. I could 
make copies of those diskettes for you if you are interested.
