"envy"..........that's the one I use.

All the stuff those guys do is way more interesting that what I could ever
do.....dewberries? figs? persimmons? sheesh ~ I missed out on a sale of
mangos this week - that's about as exotic as it gets around
here....sihivering in cold and wet zone 5A.......

I planted 3 tomato plants, 2 basil, 1 oregano and 1 rosemary, all in patio
pots this year. No time or money to start a new garden (old one is infested
with tomato blight or some such thing - not gonna plant anything THERE
anymore). Everything will be enjoyed fresh, unless there are extra herbs in
the fall - then I'll do something with them so that we can enjoy it through
the winter (still using last year's frozen basil). The day I got them all
planted, we had frost...had to cover everyhting up. That was easy enough to
do but neighbours thought we had ghosts on the porch....I used drop sheets.
