Tuesday Morning Ridiculousness

[asphaltcowgrrl]

Because, yanno, we all need a good laugh, right?

I've been working on rebuilding my garden lately and have had mixed results. Some of my plants kicked the bucket. A couple of my plants got eaten by the Sunny Monster. Two are thriving.

So, I've been thinking about growing other things - less common things like potatoes or, hey, how about garlic?

Honestly, garlic wasn't even on my radar until I got an email from Burpee this morning. I was looking through their varieties and this, obviously, caught my attention for numerous reasons:



Apparently, the Romanians love their garlic (who doesn't?), and I often wonder how much this played into the whole vampire folklore thing, but that's another discussion for another time. Anyway, this intrigued me, so I went to read the reviews because I've never grown this kind of thing before and wanted to see what other people's results were like. And I found this gem of a review:



HAH! I love it. And I'm so tempted but I'm not sure if this is what I need to be doing right now. LOL Thoughts? Opinions? Am I nuts for even wanting to try and grow garlic? You would not believe how much I go through on a regular basis either.

I'm going to leave you with this little gem because it's highly representative of how I've been feeling lately.



Anyone know how to exit this chat 'cause I probably ought to do something productive today. :D

I say go for it.

As for the chat room, when you figure that out tell me.

Yay! Taylor thought it'd be interesting to try, so I ordered it.

I know, right? Like don't you ever sleep in there?

We carry Burpee seedlings in the Spring and garlic is a popular one. You can even smell it as it grows.

Mine rarely shut up long enuff to let me sleep. That's what I get for having an overactive imagination.

I've never seen garlic seedlings here before, so that's cool you do carry them. I'm excited to try the scrapes - the green shoots - because they're supposed to be really good in stir fry and whatnot.

I really have no life if this is what I'm excited about. :D

I'm telling you. And my kids wonder why I'm distracted all the time.
