Perils of the snow: Fashion

The outfit I ordered for Antarctica was supposed to replicate Vinces 'Human Coke Can' perfectly, but apparently to Columbia, 'cherry'=hot pink. 'Cherry' is RED, Columbia, not PINK. 'Strawberry' is PINK.

Buying seeds here is not a quick process. First there's the perusal of all the seed catalogs, the dreaming and fantasizing with my garden porn. Then there's the marking of all the things I'd like to try this year, which would get me a seed order about 4 times bigger than I could possibly plant,…
