Cool: I hated working the garden when I was a kid. Now I appreciate it.

I remember that. An oldie but goodie.

Thats why Kirk was such a great Captain. The Kobayashi Maru

Buy pots you can transplant to indoors if the weather goes to hell. I had a room mate in college who tried to grow corn indoors in these big pots. They got huge but we didn't have the heart to tell him about his cross pollination issue.

Normally, we start seedlings indoors in early March and transfer them when its warm enough. Would have already started by now if we were not moving. This year we will probably buy starters from Home Depot or Bachmans.

Tomatoes. Ive gotten quite good at it and the neighbors love me for it. We also do peppers, MINT, (useful but will take over a yard very quickly) Never been real successful at corn, probably do some squash. Also thinking about doing an indoor herb garden. Its really easy, I tell my mother in law, when I am going to…

Sorry. Im thinking apartment living. We close on our new house on Friday, so it will be good to get back into the garden if this fucking snow ever melts. Friggin Minnesota winters.

My grandma had the green thumb from hell. Could grow anything. My wife's mom is like that too. She grows huge shit, i can't even get to sprout.

You can essentially buy a potato, leave it on the shelf until it starts to show roots. When the roots are an inch or so plant it. Gonna need a big ass pot though.

They do grow but even under the best care, lighting, water, etc, they take forever. If you do everything right, you might get fruit in about 12 - 15 years. My grandmother got some to grow. The plants were beautiful and huge but I don't think we ever got any avocados from them. Chicago you know.

Cool : Plants are funny things. I worked in my grandmothers garden every day until I left home. I worked on farms in college doing everything from detassling corn to driving spreaders, and hay bailers. The guys that I worked for spend hours taking soil samples so they would know how to mix the fertilizer. Growing shit…

Ooooo, Ooooo, Ooo, I can do that. Ever see one of those guns that they fire T-shirts out of at ball games? Sample principle.

We have turned into a country of wimps. Whats a few chapped thigh.... Eh, broken ankles here and there.

YOU WANT GOOD BACON???? Ill give you good bacon. So good in fact you will probably soil your undies it's so good.

Damn.. You beat me to it. Lol

I'd rather have a stripe.... Eh, fire pole.

When someone annoyed us, we used to set the mouse double click speed so high that it was virtually impossible to do it. We would sit back and laugh while they tried for a while. Yes, I know. Evil.

All I did was suggest that they were needed which was not mentioned in the original article. You jumped in with your snarky bullshit as if you are the only one that has an opinion. We're done here.

Thats all I was saying... psssss. Don't tell Sparjar. He knows everything.

Snarkey to the end. Oh, well, you win. What don't you just go tell the millions of farmers that all they need is a wading pool and some fresh water. Why bother wasting a few hundred grand on field equipment and fertilizer when plants do just as well in water alone.
