I know that's why I grow vegetables!
Ping
I wonder if modern Democrats grow "defeat gardens".
I started 192 seedlings 3 weeks ago, more will be started soon.
The growing season here is short, the last frost usually occurs in late May or mind June.
Great stuff coming, peppers, tomatoes, green-beans, peas, sugar-snaps, watermelon, broccoli, punkins, onions, carrots and more.
Incidentally, I'm north and west of New Hartford and at an elevation far greater.
Here is how I planed ahead.
They'll attempt to defeat you in court to make you share YOUR garden with THEM.
Our asparagus bed has ten spears poking up and looking good.
I’m not one to enjoy getting dirty in the heat (a girly girl) but I almost always set out tomato plants. Here in Texas we have two growing seasons and my home grown ones actually have taste to them unlike the grocery store tomatoes.
I share mine with rabbits, which I am sure are democrats because they destroy what they can't eat, crap on everything and multiply like democrats.
I may have the problem solved though because some cats moved into my neighborhood last spring and the democrat rabbits started to disappear. I am pretty sure the cats are Conservatives, they work (hunt) for their food and don't bother anyone.
A piece of card board has better taste than tomatoes sold in grocery stores. Around here the ones in stores come from Florida and all look just alike and taste the same - like card board.
Expect home-growers to be regulated by the FedGov in not too long.
Gardeining PING!!!!!!!
Thanks go to Red Devil for the heads up on this!!!!
Thanks for the plug for our weekly fest!!!
Oh how right you are!!!!! I do my best to avoid buying tomatoes at this time of the year. If I do buy them I stick to the outrageously expensive grape tomoatoes, they at least have tomato flavor.

I agree with both of you and bought a pint of grape tomatoes today for $2.50. They have some flavor but the skin is tough. One of my favorite childhood memories is of standing in my grandmother's garden with a salt shaker eating tomatoes off the vine.
Just thought some FReepers might want to take a break at, least once a week, from the politics. And I figured the more people who get involved with the thread well the more people I can ask questions to! LOL
Good Thread!
It reminds me of the early ‘70’s when things took a down turn thanks to Ford and Carter. The home gardening fad took a full swing. Burpee was suddenly selling mail order seeds at huge rates and quantities. WE had 4 varieties of corn, 6 types of tomatoes, exotic cabbage and countless other hybrid veggies to weed, pick, can and freeze.
Gawd I hated late August!
Good idea!!!!!!!
I couldn’t do anything outside this afternoon, we’ve had horrendous thunderstorms so everyting is back to being swamp.........SIGH
