I'm growing many cukes, but it's because, like tomatoes, it's one of the few veggies I eat off the vine, on the fly. Of course all fruit is fair game. But what's a "dingy?" Anything like a thingy, whatchamacallit or a hoozit? Chicks. You probably can't even make a decent gunshot or explosion sound with your mouth, like even my 7yr old boy can.<br /><br />I'll keep the toxic makeup and glitter thing in mind the next time I'm patrolling for sweet-ass WTF wrestlers. Hey, in between sign-waving sessions at the next match (thanks to you, dammit, I'm afraid I'll have to go), you could hawk hypo-allergenic and organic makeup and hemp Speedo-alternatives for the fellas, just like the girl that goes around selling outfits to strippers.<br /><br />With said signs, would you walk like they do? You know, all exaggerated runway-model swaying in ridiculous but hot n' evil stilettos? Well would ya mind?Gratuitoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01398580944195325522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808924925271942230.post-87581771426724627822009-06-25T08:58:24.987-04:002009-06-25T08:58:24.987-04:00Hey Meg-

I am tempted not to eat them as babies though cause I want to get the most food out of my garden as possible to save money...then again, those first few I probably won't be able to wait. :) I bet your birdies would love to eat tiny veggies! <3<br /><br />Gratuitous-<br />Some peeps may think it's gross, but I am pretty sure I got the bug grinding idea from a Mountain X-Press gardening article about keeping japanese beetles off roses. I used to not be able to kill bugs, even the ones eating up my crops - but nothing like a little life experieince PLUS a bad aweful economy to get you motivated. I would never use anything non organic, I would never use a spray I didn't make myself... and the bug thing sicks me out while I am doing it...<br />BTW- I wrote a dingy on how to make easy pickles last summer:<br />http://oko-organic-clothing.blogspot.com/2008/07/diy-making-pickles.html<br /><br />PS- don't want to wrestle (those guys are huge & are just metrosexual enough to use toxic body care products), just want to walk around the ring holding up a sign of some sort in between matches.Miss Voodoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01506905242956102111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808924925271942230.post-73139512389957369842009-06-24T23:11:13.054-04:002009-06-24T23:11:13.054-04:00Nah, I wouldn't know how.

I ended up with not so much pickles as marinated veggies which were tangy and lovely.<br /><br />Dude, you're just gross. I'm not gonna grind up bugs and smear them on leaves to scare away their brethren. It's like impaling the heads of marauders on poles as a warning. We can't all be bad-asses, you autopsy-loving high-boot-wearing southern goth death knight. You gonna be in the next WTF wrasslin' match?Gratuitoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01398580944195325522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808924925271942230.post-36910630913799308222009-06-24T21:54:52.450-04:002009-06-24T21:54:52.450-04:00Those vegetables are absolutely too cute!

I have a bad problem with squash beetles/bugs and I have been going out there twice a day and hand squishing them - then I wipe their dead bodies on the leaves to gross out the other ones. It worked good on my summer squash plants. Maybe you can catch a few Japanese beetles and grind them up with garlic and spritz it on your eaten plants...!!??!<br />Are you goping to make pickles with your cucumbers?Miss Voodoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01506905242956102111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808924925271942230.post-77367797241041451642009-06-24T15:13:49.486-04:002009-06-24T15:13:49.486-04:00Fascinating how such a short distance can alter th...Fascinating how such a short distance can alter the ecosystem so dramatically. I'm about 10 minutes from you, but my cukes are fattening up and nearly half-grown, I've eaten a dozen ripe blueberries already, and tomorrow I pick my first red tomato. I don't know about the broccoli and cabbage, as something has chewed up the leaves (oddly I haven't seen the pests at all, but the chew pattern looks like Japanese Beetle). I will not introduce pesticides, but I wonder if people have had success with, say, hordes of praying mantises (I just saw a baby)? Or ladybugs? Whoa, that would be cool: Mantises and Ladybugs all over my garden! Screw the veggies; gimme bugs!Gratuitoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01398580944195325522noreply@blogger.com
