I moved the Swiss chard and Tuscan kale to bigger pots today. This means officially giving up on the nasturtiums and sorrel. I guess sorrel seed has about a two year shelf life. (Too bad mine never went to seed. It would be nice to be able to save seed – the

I get the feeling the author really wanted to stick to a trilogy with this series, but man did she pack a lot into this last book. In the first book, Diana Bishop, witch, and Matthew Clairmont, vampire, meet and fall in love. It’s forbidden. You get a little taste of why.
