RE: OB/MOG/ITN Garden Cha

My cactus is low maintenance. I don't talk to it, but I do sing the Cactus Song to him sometimes...I'd do that anyway anyway though. He just sits there on the window sill, photosynthesizing.

Seeds of change have a really good variety of sunflowers, best you can collect the seeds for next years blooms, but don't forget to leave a few up for the birds 8) I really like the mexican sunflowers.

The Cactus Song? Can ya hum a few bars??? It sounds like the sort of song that should be part of my repertoire, right along with "Cheeseburger in Paradise", "Bears" & "Jolly Green Giant" by the Royal Guardsmen and the Charmin song from the commercial!

I was going to buy a plant, but decided against it for two reasons. Moche has a penchant for eating them (had to put the boquet of flowers Pea gave us way up where she couldn't leap up and chomp at them) and because I already have a Jack Russell to look after and don't need to add more living things to my list of responsibilities.

I envy you gardeners ... looks like you actually ENJOY it. Can't quite get my head around that. Although I appreciate the results I have no patience for the process.

How come cats don't like to swim?
Sittin' talkin' to my cactus,
Everybody needs a friend."

The wife has been doing a lot of gardening since the Wuflu lockdown has put her out of werk. Front gardens have gotten a complete reno so I'm looking forward to the colorful display this summer. I'm finishing the prep for our veggie garden today and will be going to a local indy garden center to get heirloom tomatoes and peppers. The veggie garden is 66% bigger this year cuz we took down some trees that were dying but still giving too much shade to the garden area.

My wife is learning how to grow pot plants. Now that there is no money in it.
