Okay, so Annie didn't find the upper seeds in Ireland. I'll explain that in a minute. One last reminder of her postings. As I type, she could be getting ready to land in Philadelphia, but she did post some more photos, including this one in a prison, on her blog this morning: www.rainiergirl.blogspot.com
Before discussing the seeds, I must bring up other matters of importance. I have read this morning's paper and have learned that bobcats are hanging around in trees not far from the Cedar Street Bridge on Sand Creek. There's a great shot of a bobby kitty on the front page.
The critter seems happy enough and didn't mind having a few photos shot
Inside the paper, however, I learned that the animals may not be so blissful. One guy wrote in about how he bought a cat for $30 cuz he wanted to cut down on the mouse population. He brought the cat home, and it had a great time doing the work that cats have been known to do for centuries.
Then, came a knock at the door. A lady from the place where he bought the cat came to retrieve it cuz she read on his application form that it would be an outdoor cat. She took the cat back, and he was lamenting that now his happy, mouse-catching kitty was living in a cage. Go figure.
I wonder what the pretty bobcat thinks about this.
And, then there was the guy who wrote in and said he thought it would be good if someone would shoot the geese down at the city beach and feed 'em to poor families. I'm wondering if these geese and ducks have any ideas to throw into the pot.
We've got animal dilemmas abounding here in North Idaho, but we ain't got nuttin' compared to what Rachelle Carbonneau has going at her house in Northern California.
Rachelle wrote to me yesterday, and I'm including the give-and-take conversation between us as the discussion of moose seeds continued to unfold.
Here goes:
We received 'moose seeds' in a gift basket and I lost the phone number that came with them.. What exactly will grow from them? We have sprouted them but don't know where it safe to plant them.. I (Pierre) came from Vermont but we now live in Northern California..P.S. I found your email address from your blog Slight Detour when I googled the question 'what are moose seeds'?
Happy ThoughtsPierre and Rachelle Carbonneau

Dear Rachelle,
My only answer for what moose seeds will grow is "good fertilizer." If there's something else, the moose have not divulged it.I wonder where I put my moose seeds. We have moved since Bryant sent them to me a few years ago, and they're, no doubt, packed away in a box somewhere.Now, if they sprout, that could be scary. Maybe there's an idea for a children's book.They're basically a nice gimmick gift. Bet you're enjoying some spring weather that you wouldn't be seeing in Vermont this time of year.

They have sprouted and judging by the size of the seed I am guessing they are a tree of some sort so I wont plant to close to a fence.. I'll keep you posted someday as to what they are.. Fun little project. Just wish I hadn't thrown away that phone number.. Thanks so much for your quick response.Rachelle

You're kidding me! Aren't you?

I attached a picture of the sprouted seeds so you could see I wasn't kidding.

So, if anyone has anything to contribute to Rachelle's quest to find out exactly what's gonna grow once she plants those sprouted moose seeds near a fence, please feel free.
In the meantime, I'm gonna dig through my boxes and see if I can find mine before spring planting season begins. As you can see from the photos below, it may be a while.
Bill suggested to me last night that possibly Rachelle's seeds are different from those that Bryant sent me.

The bean in the picture is a Fava Bean. They are a Portuguese bean. We grown them every year. They are similar to a lima bean... but a lot better.
