Goddammit Thorne! Would you please, for the love of God and all that is Holy, proofread your shit before you post it!?

This bears repeating.

Not sure if it has been said yet, but when parked, leave it out of gear and use the damn E-Brake.

I would definitely fuck mrjsplat's ex hoodrat if I were you.

Ah, shucks. I'll have to get our list when I get home from gardening tonight. The ones I know off the top of my head are these... Hillbilly Opalka Cherry 100 Yellow Pear Em & M Purple Smudge German Johnson White Ox Roma EDIT: Dark Chocolate, as well. And one or two others who's names escape me right now. i'll try to remember to put them on here this evening.

We actually WANTED to use rye grass for that purpose, but we didn't know until too late that we would be able to use this space.

Weeds mainly, also helps to keep the soil warm, and tomato's LOVE warm soil.

There is a variety named "Portia", I believe, that actively hunts other spiders. As in, targets them as meals that it prefers over other meals. Pretty damn awesome.

Drew, all of our varieties are heirloom varieties, so we may already have some for you. I suppose it is my own fault for not mentioning our most powerful deterrent, and that is the German Shepherd kennel next door. The garden lies within their electric fence, and they love watching us garden. According to the owners, deer have not been around that space for some time, as the dogs have actually brought one down before. I have read that using a mix of hot pepper, soap, and water sprayed around the garden does wonders to keep the other varmints out, so were trying that as well. I can tell you that the dogs want nothing to do with it.

Jumping Spider. We have those ALL OVER our garden. Very common in Ohio. I actually try to keep those in the garden, as they eat tons of baddies.

:lolguy:Bwahaha! Zing. Also, Buck, don't be projecting your fantasies onto me. Just because I sell you apple pie and have a garden, I'm not a hilljack. Actually, it was our intention to grow enough to feed ourselves, and after that to sell enough to pay for the garden. To that end, we are planning on doing a little CSA-like thing. Each week, we will be harvesting food form the garden, and anyone who wants a bag of it can pay a flat fee. It will be kind of random, but we will be striving to vary the haul, and also we aren't planning to short anyone. Maybe a "per pound" type costing structure. Still working on the details.

I smell a wager opportunity. FYI, most of it has already been in the ground a month.

The wife, pops and I have been working quite a bit in the garden so far this year, and I thought I would share a little bit about our progress... The garden will have a total of 6500 sq. feet, however we are only using about a third of that as of yet. The rest of the grounds need some prep, and it's possible they may not be used at all this season. Here is the garden as of the weekend before last, when we did some planting between the raindrops. http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h23/lhiannonshee/2012-04-28_12-26-33_18.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h23/lhiannonshee/2012-04-28_12-26-24_378.jpg Those were taken standing atop my compost pile and looking down the length. Here is where it sits today... http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h23/lhiannonshee/2012-05-06_13-32-41_541.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h23/lhiannonshee/2012-05-06_13-33-12_157.jpg Our tomato area... http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h23/lhiannonshee/2012-05-06_13-32-54_994.jpg A shot from another angle, showing our potatos on the left, our tomatos in the middle, and the pepper patch on the far right trailing out of the shot... http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h23/lhiannonshee/2012-05-06_13-34-39_561.jpg Panoramic of the length of the space... http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h23/lhiannonshee/2012-05-06_13-35-18_942.jpg As you can see, theres quite a bit growing. We have over 200 onions, over 40 tomatos of over a dozen types, the same amount of peppers, including Ghost, Habanero, Jalapeno and Cayenne types, 20 early season potatos, about 30 garlic plants, a managerie of carrots in all different colors, eggplants, salsify, radishes, and probably about 10 other things I am forgetting. All organic, all pesticide free and natrually grown using companion methods and strategic placement of marigolds, a bird bath, and several bird feeders to keep the bugs under control. It's going to be a busy summer.

That kinda shit always makes me very happy to see. Love it. And als, love that DDP was the one who thought he could do it.

Great pics. I can't seem to get the fist one to format. If these are public domain, I would love you to send me a copy of the very fist one.

Sooo....what the fuck is this stuff? Cliffs?

Pic of your dog is hilarious.

In any other context, reading about how much a bunch of guys "love the stick" would incur the wrath of a thousand gay jokes. Here, I have to agree. Bicycles have two pedals, automobiles have three.

D. Wiggs would get all the time he needed, provided he hadn't opened his mouth about how many wins it was gonna have. To quote history, let me just say this... "Two weeks."

The hard candy girl with the tat would GET IT.

This. OR let me do it for you for the price of a pizza and pop.

Spinnin vinyl in the back.

Anything I can do to help.

Shocked that I think you are stupid and am willing to say so? You don't know me that well, then. The proof is in the pudding. I don't have the time or the inclination to go back through your previous posts and call out each stupid thing you have said, I am willing to let my comment stand as is. If you are worried that someone might agree with me without me having to provide a laundry list, I suggest you stop talking, as it can only hurt you at this point. In addition, I would have to say that Bluewaffle raises a good point. While it may have been a defect of judgement for someone to ask you to be a mod, it was as much a defect of character for you to accept the appointment, especially since you have no incentive. ( Which lends even more credence to the "You must be stupid" argument) The next time I have a shitty, thankless job that needs done for free, expect a phone call.
