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

LOL!!! Amy, I love you, girl . . . Gotta share this garlic info with J -- he wants to get into gardening one day --, and we both FEEL your pain on the whole chatting voices thing. Let us know if you figure out how to shut them the heck up!

Just shared your post with J, and he wants to add that it's time to be scared if those chatting voices are making sense -- something we've both been known to experience as well.

Now you are required to grow that garlic.

I say go for it.

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

Why do I think you need to incorporate this into one of your Romani detective stories? Especially with Halloween on the horizon.

Yum, garlic. Of course, I am a bit biased, as I am Italian. I don't think vampires would like snacking on me :D

If you figure out how to get them to shut up... let me know. I've had my groups for two different stories having conversations. And it doesn't help that two of them are fighting because one is being an A-hole.

Yum garlic. *adds that to the list for the future garden* We're talking about building planting boxes, but my mom and I differ on how they'll be done. Oh well... maybe next year or the year after that.
