Sunds very good, and I have a bunch of cooking pumpkins in the garden, too. I'm assuming that I can use baby spinach for the water spinach? I'll have to add that to the Sam's list...

That does sound interesting and kinda like a big fuzzy blanket.

Jean, this sounds really good. William planted 2 kinds of kale and it's starting to be ready to cut...actually he had some in his lunch last Saturday. I wonder if that would work for the spinach?

Both subs sound like they would work.
