Friday wife and I went to Washington MO to PU her car at Ford, she and I went to Orscheln's there to kill time where after we left she kept snickering. 

FINALLY last night she told me why.

Seems was a young Couple(Late twenties, citified) in the garden tools section while I was other side of store, asked a Clerk then looked at my wife and asked her if they could garden a 100'x100' patch with hand tools and grow enough to eat all summer.  She stated she told them 'Sure' if you have nothing else to do but weed and scrape and amend and whatever else is required.  She explained planting cycles, dark of the moon schedules, that a Fuel Powered Tiller was their only reasonable option for larger tillage, would take DAYS to cut one row with a pick/mattock then chop that up with a Hoe then turn that every few days with organic matter then till some more, figure that on ten to twenty rows 100x100 and MAYBE by a year from start date could have a nice garden. 

She walked away from them giggling to herself as they left the store empty handed mumbling to themselves.  She still giggles when think on their dumbfounded stares.

Yep, almost worked myself to death last year keeping the weeds at bay. Hardest year of gardening I've ever had. To much rain the first half and not enough the last half.     Leon

Wink Yes so funny in many ways, Cry so so sad in so many others. They seem to fit the term citydot I have stumbled across on the net.


I have rented pasture from a software designer he wanted grass feed organic beef in trade. My wife will not let grass feed beef in our kitchen, I vaccinate against a number of dieses in my cattle. I explained I fed a lot of seed screenings not much grain you would find another use for. And he agreed vaccinating so I did not get sick cattle that might need antibiotics was a reasonable thing. When I was ready to butcher, find out he only wants steak. It worked in the end but was learning experience for him as well as me.

We have a coworker that’s a California transplant.
He was telling me he and his girlfriend were gonna get a milk cow.
I smiled and asked if he was seriously gonna get up early every day and feed and milk a cow.
Are y’all ready for this???
He said we don’t need milk every day.

Another clueless!!  Get a few cups to half a bucket dependent of the day/diet of a cow, stop milking and bag goes dry until re-breed and carrying a calf.

Talked of maybe having to start milking one.Clap Son had "the talk" about birds and bees. So she is over milking goats.LOL They are also educating her on fence building too.LOL
