Today's favorite word. Tarpaulin. Commonly abbreviated to "tarp."
I spent 3 hours last night intently exploring www.chileplants.com. I'm considering raising a ton of insanely hot chile peppers.
My "Farmer Davy" toys arrived today.
Seed starting kit. Seeds like warm feet, so it's a mini-greenhouse with a heating pad underneath. Funny how the house for my plants will have a working heating system before the real house. And I'm just as excited that the new toys came with packaging that I can play with too. There's the cardboard box that I can use as weed barrier in the garden, AND the corn starch based foam peanuts that are bio-degradable in the compost bin. I'm so giddy. So if the image for the "Hot House" box includes a single tomato, mayhaps the picture on a box of "Brick House" will have TWO very large fleshy tomatos.
The Hot House kit came with a packet of earthworm castings. Castings help seeds germinate. Earthworm casting is just a nicer way to say "worm poo." Premium quality worm poo I might add.
Seeds Seeds Seeds Galore! Mostly organic. Mostly edible. With selected benificial plants that attract bees and hummingbirds to pollinate.
I'm going to invent a word to rhyme with orange, so it can be used in songs and poetry. I'm leaning towards the word "morange."
Morange- the strange icky feeling when your stomach is messed up by eating too many oranges.
Orange so delicious
Orange so fine
Orange so fragrant
And they're all mine.
But now I'm all rumbly
From the very last orange
And it's making me suffer
From that nasty morange.
