good job, jo
gotta love all the tie-ins she makes. just started reading 'fotr' again, and while it's something i already knew, it still made me happy when i read it.
"[Meriadoc Brandybuck's] remarks in the introduction to his Herblore of the Shire may be quoted. '...for ages folks in the Shire smoked various herbs, some fouler, some sweeter. But all accounts agree that Tobold Hornblower of Longbottom in the South Farthing first grew the true pipe-weed in his gardens...The best homegrown still comes from that district, especially the varieties known as Longbottom Leaf, Old Toby, and Southern Star. How old Toby came by the plant is not recorded, for to his dying day he would not tell. He knew much about herbs...'" - The Fellowship of the Ring, by J.R.R. Tolkien

also, coincidentally, not orchestrated by jo, since she didn't know samwise is one of my two favorite literary characters or that neville would round out my top three, samwise gamgee is a gardener
You make me smile :-D
