Strangest Thing You've Ever Grown
Comments (42)"Strangest".... That's pretty funny, as I am the only one in my entire neighborhood that grows *ANY* fruit at all.... The neighbors look at me like I am some sort of anachronism for growing a little garden and some fruit trees.... But... The "Strangest" of all the common stuff I have is a cider pear, a Citation Rootstock peach/plum that had the graft die, an American Purple plum seedling, and a roadside dug-up seedling peach. My Purple and black tomatoes probably classify as what folks around here think is weirdest... They look and say "But... It's rotten!" On the sugar cane thing - if you poke around and ask the old timers at the feed stores - you will find that most farm families in the Deep South used to raise their own sugar cane for sweetening things.... As Jolji said - you bury them over the winter, then dig them up and plant them shallow after Easter... This year, I want a Jujube and a couple filberts... In years past - people expressed wonderment at my Vanilla orchids... Thanks...See MoreWhat's the weirdest/oddest/unique thing you're WSing this season?
Comments (150)Shore, Ha! I guess gardening can get you into more than one 'sticky' situation? And thanks for the Bday wishes! If anyone is really planning on growing all of these, well, lets just say there better be some pictures forthcoming this summer. :)...See MoreWhat's the oddest thing...
Comments (30)Our house, built in 1989, was the site of an 1800's farmhouse. It burned down in the 40's and the land was sold to developers in the 70's and 80's. The man who owned all the land that consists of our neighborhood and one across the street lives behind me. We constantly find nails, horseshoes, and old farm parts, marbles, a metal container of toothpaste, perfume bottles, an old hubcap and really ugly pieces of fabric. My 10 yo dd has a metal detector and loves to dig holes searching for treasure. I seem to have accumulated a bunch of rusty metal I'm not allowed to throw away. The foundation to the old house is in our backyard so I'm always hitting huge foundation blocks. They are pretty neat b/c they're not machine made but most are too big to get out of the ground. Once I hit a barbed wire fence about 1 1/2' underground when I was digging a new bed. It just keeps on going, though all the posts are blackened from the fire. Some of the farm critters were kept in the backyard so I have great loamy soil where it should be red clay. I'm not arguing though, I love it! I found an arrowhead as a child but have long since lost it. Heather...See MoreStrange things you've seen
Comments (31)I was driving home from college and had to pass under a railroad trestle that diagnolled the street. As I was coming up to the bridge, an 18 wheeler lost a tire and rim, that rolled across 3 lanes of traffic, hit the concrete pillar of the trestle, bounced back across 4 lanes of traffic, across a parking lot and landed in the back of a pickup truck parked in front of a car repair shop. Everyone in all 4 lanes of traffic, slowed down and watched it all happen, no one was hit. The guys in the shop came out and just stared. I don't think the driver even knew he had lost his wheel. Back in the late 70's when I-15 finally was finished and didn't go through Las Vegas, DH and I were heading for California. It was late afternoon and had been raining off and on. I looked over at the skyline of Vegas and there was a huge rainbow over the entire city. A Kodak moment and I didn't have a camers. Swear!!!...See MoreKathsgrdn
