Re: Canadian vegetables?

JF -touques as fungus - ah - a low blow.   Looks like variations on that
headwear theme are pretty popular down here (I'm in Chicago - heading for
Georgia to escape the annual invasion of ice worms and snow fleas.  I hate
what they do to my plants) so I'll take it that you don't get out much
anymore.

Carlo - *you* can start on Cdn Nuts and Fruits if you like but see above -
being currently resident in a foreign country - I plan on keeping a low
profile because your country has a greater variation in climate than ours
and therefore has a greater proportion and variety of fruits and nuts to
discuss.

With best wished to you both.  I remain your humble writing servant
