Because they'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a Hamburger Today.
Or at least that's what Wimpy was banking on knowing how far
a mere hamburger lasts.Where Moms were known to sputter
" I had better hamburger last year ".

 

What about little ole Me.
They { Who Dey } liked me Posts but not necessarily Me'd.
That's liked saying Fish's like Fishing more than Fisherman..

 

I wouldn't dream of buying an aquarium plant w/o first getting permission
from Mrs.Plant.Robert Plants's { Brit Guitarist } Old Aunt.
Who used to really like Eel.Brits are funny that way,

 

I have a technical question I have pondered for awhile about the virtue of planting onions not fully buried. I have seen youtube gardeners do it that way you have where part of the bulb is above the ground. My question is why do you do it that way? It seems to me that fully burying the bulb would keep it from sunburning/freezing and not fully burying them would make them flop over. I bury my onions about an inch and a half at least underground and have never had a problem with them. I am just not sure why people do it the other way.

It can get down on the teens here in winter and it would seem that the winter onions would be more at risk for freezing being shallow and in the summer it can hover around 100 give or take so it seems like the summer onions would burn/scorch being shallow.

Just curious.

 

They finally update the jury duty recording. My contract has been terminated.

 

I did mine way early. Since I was getting a federal refund, I filed them immediately electronically. Since I was paying even more into the state, I waited until the last hour of the last day and dropped them bad boys in the snail mail so I could hold onto my additional $43 an extra long time just for spite.

 

How mush " way early ". Earlier than a Mother Robin tending her Nestlings.?

 

Oh.. didn't know.. I'll give you no more

Not really.. just tho't to prop him up a bit.. keep those endomorphins flowing.... and it is a way to participate when I am really too busy to post a comment.

Hi Daisy.. I noticed you where gone a while, work can be pesky.. eh?

 

I would first find out if you would plant long day or short day onions. Then find out when to plant them. I started mine from seed in December. I got yellow granex and Texas sweet onions. I plant them deep enough to cover the bulbs at least. Wild onions can grow pretty deep. These are the granex. The same seed they plant in Vidalia Georgia.I pulled some weeds and fed some Miracle Grow but other than that I haven't done anything to them. An old woman once told me to pull the dirt from around the bulbs to make them grow bigger but I think that is an old wives tale. What you need is good soil. Good sun .... Good water... Good climate... Etc...

 

I have also munched onions with pinestraw or hay and had good luck .I still don't get them big enough for good onion rings.

 

Mulched? I've never eaten them with hay.

 

Is that what a strawman is?

 

If you ive near a peanut mill you should try peanut hulls for mulching.

We have havested a few potatoes and some green beans. We are going to do the big harvest in a week or so on the potatoes. The corn is coming along ok could be better.
The chicken got in the garden and messed up the cucumbers and squash..who would have thought a chicken could do that much damage.
My neighbors have a gorgeous garden they don't have a big garden but it is so neat. They used peanut shells for mulch and there wasn't t a weed to be seen. It will be something to try one year.

 

Might have been an oops..they could have meant to like another post and the mouse slipped. You never know. Never question a like.

 

@Falena my fig tree has three figs.. It most have caught the C19. No figs this year.

 

You did great on the eyes. The painting is very good.

 

Congratulations!

 

I have really good luck with goat hay. I buy at least one roll every year for winter. The goats waste a lot of it and it packs down. They also do other stuff in it. It breaks down into black sticky soil in no time. I always have some weeds. When they take over I run the goats in.

 

I use anything I can get.

 

Um ... what if you get a case of Diarrhea one morning.
You did say ... anything.
Isn't Manure part of like diarrhea.Like dung or droppings.

 

One of my painting buddies likes to paint in Monets style with wet in wet backgrounds and hazy foregrounds.
Have you ever thought of taking up painting?

 

Thank you. I've no idea. I have sketches of my brother sailing that are partially finished but they're no inspiring me.
Any suggestions gratefully received (baring in mind my limited abilities)

 

Your deck will be a paradise this summer it is so relaxing to have a lot of plants around.
It was a hope that the fig would have more fruit than last year.

 

What is your problem you have no limited abilities.. You want to swim the English channel while painting now that would be limiting your abilities. I am impressed and so are others. Your paintings are very good.
Maybe you are in a thinking mode right now.
How about a spring woodsy scene? Or a farm scene, a mountain scene, a field scene, pasture scene. I have almost 10 thousand photo. Bridge scenes.
