I love the DU lounge
Edited on Sat May-28-11 08:23 PM by Aerows
And since I seem to be incapable of posting things that piss people off on serious topics, I can at least hang in here and talk about my spinach and strawberry plants.

I am really enjoying learning to grow things. I never thought I could be capable of doing so, but I've surprised the hell out of myself.

I'm capable of growing food enough to sustain a household on carbohydrates, and Vitamin C :).

3. Seriously
I do enjoy growing food, and tending a garden. I am not intending to apologize for that anywhere in this lifetime, since you depend on farmers to eat food, and drink milk.

5. You had a valid topic but killed it with the subject line, which was too sweeping.
You should repost those stats minus the broadbrush on all men, especially as DU has plenty of men that understand what you're saying overall.

As for growing things, I could kill a cactus. :)

7. You are correct
My GF has the flu and I'm concerned. I couldn't kill a cactus, and when my girl gets sick, it troubles me.

I guess I'm an ass when it comes to people I love getting ill. :(

6. You could make yourself a tasty salad with those.
Spinach and strawberries. :)

10. Our strawberry plants are already producing (bed's been around a few years). Spinach...
Well, that's another story. There's nothing wrong with the plants and we've had plenty of rain, but the FUCKING RABBITS keep munching the plants down to nothing. Normally, hot sauce between the rows keeps the rabbits away, but it has been raining so much at night that the hot sauce gets diluted and they have the garden all to themselves by morning.
