Things to think about: year to year things are different... For example, last year my spinach crop was just out of this world. In fact i made pizza the other week and threw on some of the spinach from last years garden that i had washed and frozen. This year it's good for a couple little snacks and then we say aloha sucker... old seeds or just not ideal weather at the ideal time? Probably a combination of both when you get down to the raw science of the matter, the real point being is that crops go boom or bust from year to year. That's why of course it's good to diversify your vegetable garden... Holy sheep shit, i sound like a bank selling portfolio advise... I will punch myself in the face after another glass of man Robertson's Hammer time wine. Actually come to think of it what I'm saying is good advise... perhaps i should go punch a banker in the face.. or somebody who is responsible for making commercials for banks in the face. For sure i should go punch the person who makes those "banking profile survey folders" in the face.
The derailments are just horrible around here, fortunately I'm incorrigible so lets move on to our next point... and this time no insane diversions.
Me- i dug a trench behind my garden plot and filled it with rocks so that grass won't grow close to the fence so the retarded city workers in the park might be less likely to kill my pea plants... it should be noted that nothing is guaranteed when it comes to their level of incompetence.
A lot of my rocks came from woMAN gardener as she was the first to go to town on that particular plot. Most of my rocks (that i pulled out of my plot) went under the community garden shed before it was built. woMAN gardener happened to listen to MAN gardener as MAN gardener was frothing off in a rage about the cruel and incompetent manner of the city parks crew and had one king hell idea. She planted her peas in from the fence and is going to run strings from the top of the fence downward to protect them from weed eating stupidity. Well done! Here i am building a trench to defend my territory and she uses the fence as a natural barrier and places the plants away from it. Although i should note she is losing precious territory... her logic is perfect and her plan will work for sure... it's just the you are giving up territory... and that's unacceptable in a war. Lets make no mistake... we are at war with the city parks crew... this is a crew that mowed down about 5% of the grass the other week and of that 5% it included all the blueberry and raspberry bushes that were donated to the garden under the mason bee program... and the crew left the rest of the 95% of the park "UN mowed". They are malicious ass holes and giving up territory is unacceptable now that i think of it... as a matter of fact i have a new idea. Check this: Man Robertson's moat and trout pond... fucking brilliant! Circle the garden with a trout pond so the city landscaping crew can't destroy our stuff on purpose easily, and have a healthy supply of good eating trout. My idea is good there is no doubt about that... it's just a matter of getting an unauthorized excavation crew in there to set it up. I'm sure the parks crew workers would have no problem with the shear math of the Man Robertson trout pond moat= less grass to cut= less work. Which leaves our only real problems at infant/small child drownings and homeless trout poachers as far as i can see. I guess we will need another fence around the trout moat.
There once was a river there, called China creek, but they figured that the best idea going was to turn it into a garbage dump, and then it became full so they threw some rocks and dirt on top and called it a park. So the key question is... how deep does the trout moat need to be to ensure trout survival but yet ward against trout escaping through the underground stream? Perhaps a mesh barrier lining the Man Robertson trout pond. I have to say i think the garden will have more authority with a drawbridge in front of it! Yes yes yes.. these are all good ideas.
