Parenting Problems and Melon related Mayhem (Yep, Lupo went grocery shopping again...

[RetailWorkhorse]

Where'd you plant the melons at?

[lupo pazzesco]

LUPO GO TO BED.

Yes, ma'am... n'fair ya'll get to keep having fun without me. <shuffles off and collapses>

[Evil Queen]

Where'd you plant the melons at?

Along the patio and the rear metal fence. It seemed like a good place and the only place where Carmen doesn't like to lay down at.

Yes, ma'am... n'fair ya'll get to keep having fun without me. <shuffles off and collapses>

Well, you can stay up but I'm just going to brag about my plants.

Oh, I planted tomatoes too. Romas and Big Boys for The DataJager's sandwiches.

Mel-Puppy noms on both Carmen and Roma 'Maters, nom nomnom.

I miss having a fuzzy. Plushie doesn't work out as well.

*Squishes plushie*

[Evil Queen]

You can play with Carmen all you want when you come back.

By the way; the new Dadism is hilarious. I miss those.

[RetailWorkhorse]

YAY I GET TO PLAY WITH PUPPY!

I swear Dad's been around me too much. He's starting to act like me.

[Evil Queen]

Oh, can you pester Mom into giving me advice about pruning my apricot tree? Since it's turned green, I've discovered a few dead limbs.

And tell her the Black Walnut is starting to bud out. It's quite a late bloomer.

[RetailWorkhorse]

Prune the Apricot tree like you would a plum tree. A quick search will tell you how and when. You can probably find it in one of Mom's gardening books in the dry shed (if you can't find Apricot specifically, look up plum or Peach, since it's the same type of pruning).

Oh, good, the Walnut's still alive (....bloody song).

MY WATERMELONS ARE GROWING! The seeds seem to have germinated overnight! They were all cute and bright green when I watered them this morning!

I love this time of year. Some of my lavender is already putting out flowers. The tomato, sweet marjoram, and lemon balm are looking happy, too.

<brain inexplicably turns down left fork>

I took the same left fork....

Last Belgian beer I drank was Blue Moon (or something like that). Nasty beer. Made a FANTASTIC stew, though.

Hey, if you don't like belgian beer leave it for those of us who don't get a lot of beer we can drink. *grabs the beer, and stalks away with her bacon*

Speaking of germinating, our ginger is growing. Yes, ginger as in what you buy at the grocery store. (My husband is the one who insisted on growing the real stuff, wild ginger wasn't good enough for him). We finally managed to get the apartment warm enough, I can't WAIT to be allowed to open windows again.

[Evil Queen]

Sweet! I'd like to grow a plant or two of Ginger myself. It'd be great with the sushi my roomies are always making.

And to make Ginger Ale!

[Pagan]

And ginger beer!

[Evil Queen]

*drools*

Must... resist.... no space in garden....

[Magpie]

And ginger beer!

Feel sorry for our poor friend who showed up to the party late. We had made some nice ginger beer. He was told where the pitcher was. He wasn't warned that watering it down was somewhat necessary. Fortunately it was the brown sugar batch, not the molasses batch, so it was merely burny, not strong otherwise. But yeah...

*Sputters*

I TAKE IT BACK I TAKE IT BACK! Don't take the Bacon awaaaaaay!

And ginger beer!

PASS IT!

What? Okay, so I actually LIKE Ginger Beer. I even drew a frikken picture.
