It is good to hear that our kameraden in the LWB still have their gardens flourishing out in Saar. I hope your mothers' melons have all been kept sufficiently juicy since last we talked.

As for these roses, I believe Erich would appreciate me ordering a single one for Fraulein Eistochter, anonymously of course. Perhaps delay it by a day or two to avoid any horrible Oedipean suggestions. Herr Forst would appreciate a quality potato, pre-buttered and garlic-ed.
On a less jovial note, whichever type of dozen Karl decides will do for myself. It has been some time since I visited mein mutter's grave.
