Dude, you are simply beyond comprehension.

Nothing you say makes any sense. You are just incomprehensible.

It's late and I have to work in the AM, so lets just deal with a few things,OK? Heres an example of a plant "coughing" .

Plants lack the apparatus to cough. As long as you continue to speak of plants coughing you will lose many including me as I can't even begin to fathom what you are typing about. At the base of the plant is another soil base air breathing root system. Much like us where we have a lung system that interacts with a blood system. Everybody understand?

No, not even remotely. You said that theres three ways that water move thru medium. Sorry...I have 7 ways. Yes 3 of those are ones you mentioned but what about Sunlight. Sunlight (4) makes the other 3 you may not know about possible. Next time you take the grandchildren out for soft ice cream look at the machine making it. Thats 5. The material the container is made from is 6 and the root system itself is 7 and not because its sucking up water but the action of the roots thru the medium.

Last time I checked when I water a plant the water doesn't move through an ice cream machine. What on earth are you going on about?

Georgeiii, you have intermittently posted here for years and for all of those years you have gotten the same criticism. You don't make sense. You use flowery, artsy language where scientific precision/commonly accepted horticultural terminology are better understood.

I only know you as the guy who grows under performing plants in soda bottles who thinks his plants are the cat's meow. Sorry, but you can't grow good sized onions in a 16 oz cup because a good sized onion is larger than the cup is wide.

Please, for the love of Zeus, Stargate Atlantis or Mickey Mouse Clubhouse start speaking in horticultural or at least human terminology so somebody can understand what you are going on about. You might actually have something to say worth listening to, but in the last few years of your posting I am unaware of anyone actually understanding what you are trying to say other than 'grow plants in recycled pop bottles and maybe pee on them.'

Haaa,ahh Justaguy from the first youve always been the barb in my comfortable garden chair. But as Ive said from the first I didnt learn gardening in school but out in the field. So I didnt learn all the "horticultural" terms you speak of. So I try to use my "common" terms as best as I can and dont mind trying to explain further.

Last time I checked when I water a plant the water doesn't move through an ice cream machine. What on earth are you going on about?
Now please Justaguy what else does a plant do. As I say before one of the skills Ive been lucky enough to learn was as a Master Candy maker. I wrote about it before, remember? So lets talk about the plant/machine part. Everybody knows what you get from an ice cream maker from the front. But very few people ever get to see the back and the workings that go into making that tasty treat. There are tubes (roots) back there. You have tubes/roots for the cream/nutrients. Tubes/roots for the flavoring and so on. Theres a parts for cooling/underside of leaf or warming/upperside of leaf up. Theres parts for injecting air and energy/sunlight to make the whole thing work. In the machine world youd get a box with everything ready to go. In the plant world you get a box/seed. In the machine world you get a couple of containers youd roll up to the machine and connect tubes to them. In the seed world it grows roots to make its own connections. Of course in the machine world you get many different flavors from the same machine but in the plant world you get a variety of seeds. Oh, I forgot to mention water. Silly of me since its the main ingredients for both. In fact just like ice cream my mix melts/compaction just the same.

Now thats not being truthful. When have I ever bragged about anything. It's not in my nature. I understand that you might not be able too but I post pictures of what I grow. Anybody can look them up right here or check ChristianWararlock on Photobucket, you showed me how to do that. Check back with me in September, itll give you bragging rights for the year if it doesnt work. And besides what does the width of the cup have to do with the size of the Onion? Thats just being judgmental. Didnt someone post picture here of pumpkins with Mickey mouse ears and square watermelons.

And for some more judgmental stuff.

Im aware of people understanding. Thats here too. And Justaguy common on here your letting me off way to easy. Nothing about electron valance, 4 more ways to cause movement of water thru medium. And your right the words in bold are why I keep posting
Just a point of interet in all those years I've never seen you post a picture?
