Radishes making headway in the pots on the deck, above.
Little lettuce mix, too.Last Thursday, L and I went to Atlanta to see Junot Díaz and Anita Desai read. Plus we went out to dinner at a Thai restaurant and stayed overnight! A true splurge.
Here's a video of Junot:
A little of Anita Desai:
We also had TV with HBO in our room, where we watched something alarmingly fascinating called Taxi Cab Confessions.
We had planned to go to Knitch and various other shops in Virginia Highlands, but it was TEEMING so hard we scuttled up the highway home. After being honked at several times for being in the wrong lane. Sorry Atlantans!

I wish you'd told me - you could have taken my first edition of Drown for signing!
Oooh, tut-tut! I love radishes! These look like they are off to a grand start.
And hopefully I won't have too much trouble when( if ) I pass through Atlanta, on my way back up the coast. Of course, I know a way round that :)
Nice to have a night away from home, and HBO too.... how decadent!
How cool to see Junot Diaz! Taxicab confessions is classic, isn't it?! What do you recommend reading by Ms. Desai?

You know I will want to hear all about the Thai restaurant.
Looks like you are going to have a bumper crop of radishes and lettuce!
I always loved going to Atlanta when I was a kid. It was "the big city" for us.
That sounds like a fun outing!

Radishes - yum! (in very small quantities)
I love Thai food! What did you have?
Garden looks great. But where is the Topsy Turvy tomato grower? (I secretly want one for our deck).
