I am awful. I snort disparagingly everytime I see this ridiculous post/thread.

***********************************************************
I agree with your first sentence, you are awful, but there are around 500 Freepers on the Garden Ping List, and I just recently took over posting the thread from Red Devil, so I can't really tell you how it all started.

Frankly, I recommend that you just ignore the thread, it must have been awful holding back all these years, but I am glad you feel better.

It appears that your response to stress is to spread it around and denigrate others who are enjoying a little discussion about growing their own food.

I prefer to spread a little cheer, so you have a great day and God Bless you and your family. May the Lord grant you tolerance to forbear all the many trials and tribulations that obviously come your way frequently.

Bless her little heart!

[who knows what evil?]

Self-sufficiency/independence is one of the lynchpins of conservative ideology...being able to provide for your family has its roots in Scripture. People who are unable to grow their own food may find themselves in a very tight spot in the coming years...

Carry on.

Hey, Greeneyes...pay no attention to the person behind the curtain...
I love this thread, read it when I can even though I’m a horrible gardener...
Keep up the good work!

greeneyes a little history about the thread. It was started by Freepers gardengirl and Gabz at the beginning of 2007. Sometime in the summer of 2007 the posting of the thread got very spotty missing weeks at a time. I FReep mailed gardengirl and Gabz and asked them If they would mind if I could take the thread and make sure that the thread was posted every week on a steady schedule. They both agreed. So I began posting the thread. It has been a reliable Friday thread ever since. Gardengirl dropped off the radar here at FR and has not been heard of since. Gabz is still posting. Last December 2011 I decided I needed to let someone else take over the thread because I was moving to Texas and did not know if I would be able to have a garden. JustaDumbBlonde volunteered to post the thread and now she also has gone off the radar in August of this year. Sad! But thanks to you greeneyes it continues thrive.

RitaOK does not understand the importance of threads like these to FReepers. I was trying to keep up with the ping list and the last time I updated mine there were 532 FReepers on it. Keep up the good work! If you ever need help just let me know.
