Better'n Miss Ima Hogg, I reckon.
'Course, That ain't setting the bar very high.

RE: Not a Gardener

... You couldn't BE more correct, Fay And more heartbreaking
Nothing ... NOTHING beats fresh grown pasta

Sadly, of course, pasta can't be grown in Florida
Spaghetti is especially climate specific, requiring a cool mountain climate ...

Also -- The trees are prob'ly waayyy too big for your garden boxes.


Please allow me to acknowledge, Fay, your Wise hat ad vote
It's obvious you're a smart cookie & didn't get to your age being foolish.
'Course, you bein' Italian (and me married to one) We know how Things get done.

Cast youse all's hat ad votes in, let us say, a Wise Guy like manner. Like Fay heah.
Capiche??

RE: Not a Gardener

@ Molly.
Are works pests?

Depends on how one defines "worms".

Strictly speaking, as in Earthworms -- Definitely NOT a pest. Very beneficial.
When referring to certain insect larva, as in Tomato Hornworm -- Pest!! Bad!!

RE: Not a Gardener

Seriously, Molly?
Have you even LOOKED at your Pic??

Getting back to re-marketed products --
Feminine Sanitary Pads are now re-marketed ... Mouse Mattresses

Selling well, I understand.
Crazed covid Lockdown victims are adopting the once despised rodents as pets for company.
Good idea -- It slows (however briefly) the inevitable descent to brain mush vegetative state ...

RE: Not a Gardener

Potatoes are especially & remarkably gifted in this regard.

The White/Irish kind, I mean.
Sweet potatoes

RE: Not a Gardener

Another consideration regarding volunteer tomatoes.

Open pollinated (non-hybrid) varieties grow true to type -- what they were is what they'll produce. That's Good.

Hybrids are different. Seeds saved (or volunteers) from hybrids will likely produce plants that revert to one of the parent varieties. God only knows what they'll produce.
Maybe Not so good. Sweet corn grown from saved seeds of hybrid corn is horrible.
Trust me.

Every seed is an experiment.

If your volunteer tomatoes sprung from ...
San Marzano plants -- Absolutely non-hybrid .... You're Good .
Roma -- Probably(!) non-hybrid .... You'll Know(!) shortly.

P.S. --
My tater observations above pertain to White taters.
Sweet Taters? -- You're on your own.

RE: Not a Gardener

So. Viv.

Just a couple questions --
Do you have a Crushable Sea Grass Hat you could model for Fay to wear while working her spread?
If so ... Is it the Girlie Style? With upturned brim?

One more thing ...
Do you know the difference between poisonous & venomous?

Just curious, you understand ...

I didn't BUY it, y'all understand!
I ... uhhhh ... Snagged it when I was ... ummm ... Fishing!

Yeah. THAT's how it got stuck away in my ... Attic.
That's my story & I'm stickin' to it!

Hey boot!
Any ideas how I can pitch this thing as a gym gizmo??

I've Not Seen Merc Here Lately - (aka "A Prior Chatting Blog")

Repurposing that joystick pad as gym equipment is Marketing Genius!

What with the Lockdown, home exercise stuff is doing like a land office business.
If Merc's any indication, looks like the joystick pad peddling folks have struck a gold mine!

ME TOO

I'm pulling Tons of junk outta storage spaces & taking pics to make it look like gym gizmos.
I'm fixin' to be Rolling in shekels

She WISHES she had a joystick & IT'd come up for HER

Joystick Inspector.

I've Not Seen Merc Here Lately - (aka "A Prior Chatting Blog")

Makes sense.
It'd be positioned in Front of one's screen & the shape would make it ambidextrous.

The positioning of the product in the pic & use of a joystick suggests it might be used to develop coordination of one's sphincter muscles

Now I'm REALLY looking forward to Merc posting workout pics using that thing!!
DAYUM!


And I asked MERC not to get overly explicit???

Hey Merc! Looking @ that pic --
Here's something you'd be uniquely qualified to teach at those gym classes ...

Hey Merc!
It sounds like the caption of one of your pics ...

I've wondered what might've happened HAD the Midwesterner asked about Bars (Pubs to y'all Aussies) & the Hillbilly had sent him to the den of a BEAR.

Could've been a trip to ...
