Whistle Stop Restaurant

Not plant related, but just had to mention that we went to my favorite restaurant today....The Whistle Stop in Deep River. They're open for breakfast and lunch only. It's a small place, but they have the most AMAZING FOOD!!!! It's like nothing you've ever had anywhere. Hedy and Mike, the owners make everything from scratch and if you're bored with the usual breakfast and lunch fare than this is the place for you. When was the last time you had a breakfast place serve artichoke hearts, sun dried tomatoes, leeks, eggplant, portabella mushrooms to just name a few....I won't even get into the different cheeses they have....Hedy loves french cheeses. Maybe being a vegetarian this kind of stuff thrills me, but there is plenty for carnivores also. They're located on Main St. in Deep River before the Piano Works Condo's and open everyday except Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Go there!!! I think you'll love it as much as we do.

Helianthus


One of my favorite plants....Helianthus microcephalus. Had it kicking around for a couple of years. Finally decided to upgrade to a proper pot and it really took off. Didn't flower til Aug. where it was so tall the flowers hit the top of the hoop house. Everyone asked about it, but since it was the only one we had and the grower does offer it anymore, we decide we would keep it and split it up for next year. Hopefully there will be enough for everyone.
