That's happened to me. Logged out at work but when I come home it shows I'm still logged in (musta forgot). I have no idea how that shows up on a board like you're here 24/7 lurking?

BTW, in Shannon Airport it is "Keep Ireland Tidy" instead of Don't Litter.

Don't go spittin' petunias at me! (a friend of mine said that to his gym coach in front of the whole class...lovely!

)

Pretty fowlers. Hope mine do well.

That was funny about spitting petunias. As a kid my brothers and I use to do that for a time, while spitting in each others faces. Must of been sibling
rivalry. That was before the fist fights

Petunias are pretty hardy and give color all summer long into the fall. We planted dreams patriot mix at the fee booths and midnight madness as a border with yellow boy marigolds mass planting in the center another good
concept of color all summer long. Easter basket mix Alyssum with hawll blue as a border in another plot all down by the beach. The Begonias went next to the office as it is part sun depending on the rain things should look good hopefully. Good luck on yours as well Kares Oh and the vista salmon, Salvia at the fee booth.

Tomorrow my own yard needs some sprucing up going to get the chain saw and do some changes

In Texas I lost a whole plot of summer squash (yellow, Zukes), due to bugs. I just composted and started over, growing Winter Squash (Butternut). From this I learned that they couldn't pierce the shell of the butternut, I presume.

I had the best head lettuce that year ever. I started it from seed when I planted the summer squash, sprouted but didn't grow, till circumstances were right, after I planted the Winter squash. When weeding I noticed colonies of black widows, let them be and they let me be. Of course seeing the stars thur the roof rafters and the cock roaches carrying your dishes away at night, had and effect on me. That summer a stray dog with distemper came around and I had to cut its head off with a sickle. The horror, the horror of it all! Really though it was the kindness thing I could do, the poor thing. I sharpened that blade real good and one whack it was done, off with its head. The neighbors had half a dozen little ones running around happy as can be. Oh, to be a child! My wife an I had two toddlers a child and one in the oven. I called several places, to no avail. I did what had to be done. No one else was going to do it! The disease progress enough that the dog was going in circles, staggering. I spoke to the neighbors and chased the children off. I tied a noose around the dogs neck drug it to a stump and it was done! Threw it in a big burn pile and set it a flame. That was the best crop of Butternut I ever had and I shared it with the neighbors. Being rewarded with the best empanadas I've ever ate. Also that summer was the first time I seen a snake drop from the trees gave me the heebie geebies.. Living in that one room shack gave us the opportunity to save for out own land which was infested with snakes. I'm laughing now because I'm telling you the truth and don't know what else to do. We bought seven acres of raw land I help my friend build this really gorgeous house and he sold me the trailer he was living in. Three bed room and his septic tank was a bonus. I had it pumped out dug it up by hand and a farmer loaded it up on a trailer and hauled it to my place down the road. I dug a hole for its placement, it was a thousand gal tank. The farmer also towed my trailer out of the kindness of his heart no charge. My wife and I cleared the land we pulled the old aluminum while pulling cooper wires into the trailer. I use to shoot copper heads very close to the trailer in the head with my 22 pull their bodys inside out and apply comfo fineek to them for cowboy hats. One night while working storm duty in my job as a service man upon arriving home at 3 am getting in the shower I stepped on a scorpion stinging me on the bottom of my foot tasting the poison in my mouth not minutes after the screams of pain

I let nature take its course trying to learn the good bugs from the bad and watching for a balance observing and well the bugs haven't done what that dog did to my mind but I squash a bug without a problem not giving it a second thought. The horror the horror. This is getting like a small window of my life don't be scared it's only the twight light zone

Makes for interesting reading though.

I have never gotten stung by a scorpion. Been biten by a velvet ant though and that hurt like the dickens.

Never had to deal with coppermouths, but I grew up with diamondbacks as dinner.

Never ate no snake, I'd like to try it sometime.

It didn't rain as much as expected last night so I got to get to tilling up and planting today befor it dumps. Then if I have time some artsy stuff is on the horizon

Mr. Potatoe Head · Post by **Mr. Potatoe Head** » Fri May 07, 2004 4:57 pm

Got my veggie garden just about all planted today. I built three wire garden scupltures. Two sitting, one looking towards the sky another contemplating life and the third riding a bicycle for my pole beans.

I'll be adding more stuff for my whimsical adventure in gardening this year

Good luck, spud. My 'matoes are pretty sorry this year for some reason and I may have to resort to *gasp* POTTED tomatoes. I'm usually a "seed" kinda gal.

I still like a harvest, tho. Whether it be veggies or flowers. Again, any advice spewed into cyberspace here is much appreciated.

The man who brings my husband's shuttle truck up everyday is a generous older fellow who is always buying drinks and snacks for Dan during his routes, and he geds the little kids birthday presents. Last year for Mother's Day, he got me a hydrangea (not sure on the spelling) and this year he got me a rose. Now I just have to figure out where to put it.

Ha ha, I should have looked at page 2 prior to my last post. Now I'm a dumbass. Oh well, I never claimed to have a brain in my butt
