Everybody who can should have a garden... it puts one in touch with the natural living world. Gardening is not a competition, but if it can be turned into one to help get a greater yield, then do it.

Man Green onions

So I was putting together a Man sized lunch for the girls and our lunch guests the Hey Rocks.

A little Tuna salad sandwich would go well with the pasta and soup, and what makes a Tuna salad extra delectable... fresh onion greens, or chives.

If you can't grow chives, please go yo your local tattoo shop and get "I am not Man enough" on your forehead. In time you will see the error of your ways and with the help of mirrors and daily man beard grooming, as well as those awkward moments at social events where you keep having to explain why you have a disparaging word tattoo on your forehead... you will find that chive growth is actually very simple.

I send my children out to harvest the chives...its a plant children can't damage and it's good for them to learn. You wouldn't get a child to harvest your sweet peas (for example), because with that overzealous energy and lack of total focus they would probably damage the main vine and put a major dint in the plants ability to further produce fine peas....

our guests are here...

  1. I do think it is too much work! Our garden is nothing but trouble. The vegetable part is going well and the kids think it is all fun and dandy but the flower stuff is making me a little crazy. I guess yard work in general is the problem. It sounds so great in theory, and then we just kill an entire Saturday out there. Sidenote: we saw some pretty nasty slugs in VC last time we were there - how do you plan on keeping them from eating your strawberries? And did you see they just added blueberries to the worst pesticide list? They used to be on the GOOD list. I hope our lil berry bush produces.
