it might be the beer talking...

17 years ago

well this forum has not had a whole lot of action for the past couple o days, so i'm just gonna say what's on my gardening mind. just some random thoughts if you will indulge me.

i don't think habs and scotch bonnets are that hot, therefore i am growing yellow fires and nagas this year. wish me luck.

i think the recommended spacing requirements on the back of the plant packets are baloney.

square foot gardening is a great idea although many of the concepts put forth in mel's book are just common sense.

i hope my indian corn grows properly, my wife really wants to make corn dollies.

who doesn't use special soil mixes? i just buy manure and topsoil and everything grows just right.

okay my pizza is ready now....

happy gardening y'all

    On a note pertaining to the rant...

    Though I find the square foot people are great resources for intensive planting and bedding design/layout information...I just cannot get past what some of them suggest for outdoor soil mixes.

    I have no idea what some of these authors think money spent on these insanely priced mixes vs. production lost on a much cheaper soil mix can be. It can't be that much of a loss, imo.

    Au contraire mon ami (how do you like my Spanish). I have found square foot gardening very effective. As long as you have 200 Â 500 of those square feets stuck together.

    Ok, IÂm worldly. Your wife likes "dollies" thatÂs ok by me. I envy you. My GF would be wanting corn pool boys.

    Not sure what Smokes "squeezins" are but they sound nice!

    I could never train the cows to go in the pots???

    corn squeezins=moonshine
    What you drink beer as a chaser too.LOL

    I grow only in containers so soil mixes do make a big difference to me.
    What I use woudn't work for raised gardens etc.

    I also brew my own beer and used to make wine.

    The cobs from corn are good for smoking pork with too.
    husks are good to wrap stuff in on the bbq.

    Corn stalks are good chipped up and tossed in the compost pile.
    I guess that guys girlfriend could make cue sticks for her pool boys...2 ball,right center pocket.

    Can I place an order for a corn pool boy please?

  • 17 years ago

    Smoke, don't give my GF any ideas. Her existing cue is just fine! LMAO

    Erin, wouldn't Spencer object to a strange pool boy around! LOL

    Don't forget to chalk up the tip=don't want any miss cues...might sink the other guys ball or put yours in the wrong hole.
