Bleeding hearts
Ranunculus
Peppermint
Basil
Rosemary
Lettuce
Jack-O-Lantern pumpkins
Big Max competition size pumpkins
Picklebush cucumbers
Green Fordhook zucchini / summer squash
Ambrosia hybrid cantaloupe
Dark seeded early perfection green peas
Green goliath broccoli
Evergreen long white bunching onion / mild scallion flavor
Hot peppers mixture (Hungarian Wax, Anaheim, Large Cherry, Long Red Cayenne and Jalapeno)
Small sugar pumpkins
Cool green melon
Danvers half long carrots
Early and often hybrid sweet corn
Yellow summer squash / early prolific straight neck
Super sweet 100 hybrid tomato / extra prolific cherry type
Sweet carnival peppers hybrid mix (Early Sunsation, Purple Beauty, Orange Sun, Big Red and Diamond)
Sugar snap peas
Organic brandywine red tomatoes
Crimson sweet watermelon
Fordhook giant swiss chard
What is everyone else planting / planning to plant this spring ? I'd love to hear about it.

DiGiorno Pizza & Cookies / Boneless Wyngz
"It's Not Delivery, It's DiGiorno"
I was in the pizza aisle of Super Wal-Mart today. I was surprised to see this in the freezer case and took out my camera:
DiGiorno Supreme Pizza + Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
"Full Size Supreme Pizza"
"Makes 12 Cookies"
"$6.50"
"Do Not Consume Raw Cookie Dough"
"Keep Frozen. Not Ready To Eat. Cook Thoroughly"
Shown on the back of the box:
"DiGiorno Supreme Pizza + 7-8 Honey BBQ Boneless Wyngz"
I don't see mention of the cookies or Wyngz on DiGiorno's official website yet. However, their Facebook page has pictures and a small amount of information.
From DiGiorno's FB wall, dated January 14:
"Here's a sneak peek just for you. Starting Monday, our new Pizza & Boneless Wyngz and Pizza & Cookies combos will begin arriving on store shelves across the country. Be on the lookout for our delicious new combinations and be sure to tell us what you think!"
From DiGiorno's FB photo album:
"Boneless Wyngz* White Meat Chicken Fritters
*With No Wing Meat"
"Hand Tossed Style Crust"
-Three Meat Pizza + 7-8 Honey BBQ Boneless Wyngz
-Pepperoni Pizza + 7-8 Buffalo Style Boneless Wyngz
-Supreme Pizza + 7-8 Honey BBQ Boneless Wyngz
-Pepperoni Pizza + Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
-Supreme Pizza + Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
-Four Cheese Pizza + Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
I can't wait to try DiGiorno Pizza + Cookies & DiGiorno Pizza + Boneless Wyngz. How can you go wrong with pizza plus snacks or dessert ? I'll try to buy a package of it on another shopping trip.

Weight Watchers Ad
I saw this Weight Watchers ad on another website:
Just by a show of hands, ladies: how many of you normally pose for pictures leaning sideways,one hand on your behind and the other in a "pregnant woman protects stomach" position ? Yeah, I didn't think so. Also, who photoshopped the man hand into the picture? Notice that Jennifer Hudson has one huge left hand in the pic and no elbow.
