Green rabbit

A wine name combining my favorite color with an animal that has nothing to do with wine? Why yes, it's
Green rabbit!
From organically grown grapes! And comes in a nice, cheap, recyclable box! (And yes, it's shelved next to a much less-agreeably-named wine.)

Plant update

The basil is doing well -- some really well, some not so well.

Inspired by my success in keeping the basil alive, I tried to grow poppies. At a conference, I received this promotional card that was embedded with seeds and printed with instructions for growing them. It first they sprouted with great promise. Then they fell over and died (possibly in the reverse order).

Oh well. At least I have my delicious basil.
