A friend is leaving New York City, the Right Coast for the Left Coast in two weeks, bound for San Clemente, California.I am soooooooo jealous he gets to Drop Out and Tune In. 40 years ago this was the norm and expected, although with a little help, which would require one to Go ask Alice.Ahh, sad, these days we found out that the Great American Go ask Alice Experiment Failed.
The 2006 Drop Out and Tune In means you enjoy plying the road in a Lexus for a month before you end up and MBA program at Berkeley. If Grace Slick of Jefferson Starship sang Go Ask Alice….well, different program entirely……
So you get to the ‘Spiritual Alice, i.e., this Alice, Birkenstock clogged, short, punky hair with chunky blond highlights concealing her grays-she will hand you a granola bar as you pass the Caterpillar, who tuned his mushroom into a vacation condo and will be seen running off, attending his 12 step Hookah anonymous meetings. They had to leave Olde England for Northern California for tax reasons.
The Red Queen took advantage of an early retirement program and now runs a Lesbian Retreat House, called The Door Knocker, an ill understood reference to some retro term from a half a century ago, which referred to the brass thing that people used to think would talk back to them as they clunked it on the front door. Poor doorknocker has been relegated to a glass memoirs cabinet, along with a dusty picture of Timothy Leary, the Caterpillars’s old hookah (makes a wonderful vase for fresh cut flowers too), all managed by the Rabbit, who got his MBA in the hospitality business at Northwestern.
Rabbit recently reflected:
Oh, poor us, we all lost the way with the Turtle Doves at some point and ended up in the retail chain Bed and Breakfast line, not like the old days at all. After the red knights refused to work with non organic paint, we had to give up the rose garden for local, indigenous varieties of fauna. Red Queen bailed out on stock options.
I have never grown strawberries before. I don’t have a good yard to put in a garden (too shady) so I am going to grow some veggies and such in pots and hanging baskets.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a brand/type of seeds that don’t need a lot of space, yet produce a good quantity/quality of berries? Preferably organic, and one that doesn’t need full sun.
Thanks for your help!
I am late on the growing season and I want to buy some garden plants from bonnie and plant them in organic soil. I am aware they have been using chemical fertilizers on those plants. however I want to go with an organic mix. my basil plants looks a little sad. Is it missing the chemicals? and how can I help the plant adapt to a more organic feed…THX
Ok so basically its always better to get a seedling from an organic grower. how long does it take for a plant to adapt? or do you always start your own seeds? does this make your plant healthier for its entire life?
Ok so I have had my bearded dragon for about 10 months and he has never had a UV light or UVB light or which ever one is the one that is produced by the sun. Though he does go out into the sun for about 2 hours a day while I am practicing piano in our garage. He seems to be doing fine he doesn’t have metabolic bone disease or anything of that sort and i dust his live food as well as his vegetables with calcium. That leads to my other question, he never eats any of his greens unless i stuff it in his mouth while hes chewing his live food (I don’t laterally stuff it but just place it for all of you crazy ass animal rights people) anyways the only vegetable he eats is collard greens a natural pesticide free lettuce from our organic garden and hibiscus petals (also pesticide free), he also occasionly has grapes, apples, and bananas when we have them. Should i be feeding him a more wide variety of vegetables?
Thank you so much for all your help, and I would just go to a local pet shop but I’m only 12 and my parents are no help at all with my beardie
but thank you!@ the person who said beardies dont need greens, GET UR FREEKIN FACTS STRAIGHT BECUZ AS A JUVENILLE GREENS MAKE UP ABOUT 30% OF THEIR DIET AND AS AN ADULT 70% SO WHAT EVER YOU FEED YOUR BEARDIES THEY MUST BE SOME SCRAWNY LIL PIECES OF SKIN AND BONES BECUZ I FEEL BAD FOR THEM!!!
My gardener suggested applying gypsum to the soil. He said it will help break down some of the clay. He said we can mix it into the garden soil with added organic materials and since we can’t turn over the lawn, he said he can spread the gypsum on top and let the sprinklers water it into the soil. does this make sense to anyone?
I like this girl and I think she likes me. So I made a rap about her (she apperantly likes people who write poetry and rap is a kind of poetry) and went to present it to her. She walked away and said that I was a dork. This was my rap :

Hi Everyone,
First time gardener from Ohio need your help. TIA.
I am planning for vegetable plants in a (container) wooden boxes of size 4 foot x 4 foot x 8 inches (=~ 11 cubic foot). Four of these boxes makes 45 cubic foot approximately.

my own compost so this question won’t arise. But, to begin my first/
fresh vegetable garden; in the place of compost I used the following
mix. I mixed them *VERY* thorough spending a week.

Question: is the following mix ‘OK’ to begin my garden? Am I sort of

other suggestions/ideas to help myself is greatly appreciated.

currently live with my grandmother and she has a garden that REAKS of stinky and unnecessary plants. I tried to convince her to remove them and we’ll plant veggies and flowers..stuff we can actually use rather than have stinky leeks and other nonsense. How do I get rid of these plants the natural way so that I can start planting edible plants without her thinking that I had to do something with the demise of the stinky plants??? Please help, she is even getting neighbors interested in leeks and stuff!! I would really apprciatte it if any solution you guys give me wouldn’t end up hurting her or me in case we eat some leeks..just in case she wants to taste the plant to make sure it’s really gone bad,k? Thanks a bunch
I have purchased some Miracle Gro Organic Choice Garden Soil which I mixed into the native soil with the new Four O’ clocks I planted. It says it’s a natural fertilizer, both quick and slow release. The fertilizer analysis on it says 0.10 - 0.05 - 0.10
It’s located here http://www.scotts.com/smg/catalog/productTemplate.jsp?proId=prod70308itemId=cat80014tabs=general
I want to fertilze some older ones I already have had in the ground for three years. They’ve never been fertilized, and are growing slowly this year.
My only confusion is that what I have already purchased states to mix with native soil, plant your plants and then water. Well, since these that I am wanting to fertilize, the older ones are already planted, could I just sprinkle some of this Miracle Gro Organic Choice Garden Soil around those, shake any off of the foliage and water? If not someone mentioned I should get the 6-6-6. How do I use this that I already have to fertilze my older plants?
