Comments (20)A bit more on leaf and pumpkin Recycling and Thiefy. After a few years of collecting yard waste materials. I only advance into someones yard to collect their bags if I have had prior contact and know they are fine with me making off with the bags. And I leave a bag with once-used and folded bags to save them a buck or two. If I know or suspect that you don't want me to take your brown bags of leaves, leaf/grass mixes, I will not take them even if they are sitting on the curb. I will not argue with you, I consider it your property even if the stuff is sitting in the street and not on your property. There is plenty of other stuff available. Read three years ago that one relative shot and killed another over a roll of TP. There are three neighbors who save their stuff especially for me. They put it out early (normal is 12 hours before pickup start time of 6am). We know each other by name and they put it out by the garage so no unsavory characters will make off with it. If I have extra summer veggies such as tomatoes, they may get some....See MoreWhy would someone steal a bee hive?
Comments (2)Some people will take anything that they can get their thieving hands on. Used hives are not valuable, at least not to a knowledgeable beekeeper. If a hive is infested with American Foul Brood, the only cure is to burn the hive and everything associated with it. Your hive wasn't, but anyone buying the hive from the thieves wouldn't be able to tell if it was infected or not. I hope the bees stung the bee-jeezus out of the thieves!...See MoreWho would steal heirloom tomatoes?
Comments (12)Alsosara, Thank you so much for your bringing this to my attention! The many that were stolen are history now, though with three very nice members of the County Sheriff's department having come to purchase their own plants, they are certainly aware of them having been stolen. Too, most that disappeared were of varieties that restaurants, growers, and the police can easily recognize since most were of the more rare varieties and colors including yellows, orange, purple, black, green and striped. That said, I have put this behind me, while considerably enhancing those factors in my own ad that make them unique. From the beginning, I went to great effort to identify those varieties that excel in flavor and, starting in January, just after my two stroke and the news of an incurable disease, used this project as a form of physical and even emotional therapy to keep me interested and moving. Mostly, I just wanted to grow the best plants and varieties possible for my own use in saving two of each plant, but that meant growing extras to provide me with a good selection of my own starters. These will provide me with plenty of seeds for othgers next year and has already provided others throughout the region with their first heirlooms. Too, it has, despite the major downer of the theft, been a means for me to stay active, meet others, and share my own knowledge with lots of people. Because these were my own "babies", I started them with the best possible seed starting mix that I then used espoma organic fertilizers and a blend of many micro-organisms. That has really proven itself. My own garden is thriving and despite the disease that is rapidly and painfully fusing my spine and hips, LIFE CAN BE VERY, VERY GOOD! In many ways, this is what I learned during my time as an E.R. chaplain and expressed in my four books....Happiness is a choice....See MoreOH.. I wish I had a spot for this CL steal... such potential!
Comments (2)I remember this blog! The ideas were cool, but she repeatedly talked about how in debt she was, which I couldn't get over (but I'm a banker's daughter, so I realize I'm not the norm about that). You could buy it, paint it, then sell it on Craigslist for a few hundred....See More- 6 years ago
