I know why we do it. This year, we lost approximately 85 % of our crop to a late frost (read: not much to share).

We were devastated.

Then this weekend, me and manny got invited to a Friendsgiving dinner. This was a table of folks whom we love & each of them are folks labeled different. Artsy. On the edge of normal. (including US!)

We brought other stuff to the dinner...& plus sprinkled our entire harvest of Taz cucamelons into our salad (read: 10 cucamelons, each the size of a lima bean - cucamelon - look 'em up).

Eating those wee tart tangy fruits, questions were asked.

Crunches were crunched.

People giggled.

In the flow of affection between friends, community swirled even brighter.

I raised a toast: to TAZ GROUT, whose brilliance is always with us, even on a scarce harvest year.

Another year of Taz Grout's Hot Dirt.

Another SUCCESS.

We LOVE YOU TAZ & PAM!

Good morning, Beautiful Soul. How's your smile? Wildfires are threatening Taz Grout's Hot Dirt. So what to do? Snap a pic of ripened tomatoes ...& leave for safer ground. And wait it out. And smile for the sweetness we have known. Worry will not help.

In a whirlygig world, we grow. In a world where illusions say we're separate, we greet strangers as new friends. Here at Taz Grout's Hot Dirt, life is good. Happy Spring everyone!
