Just bear in mind he cut at least two verses, including one that is sort of essential to the plot (WHY he froze to death on the way back when he didn't have any issue coming). Here's the complete version (well, as complete as I know, I've heard people add even more verses.)

Saw another out in the wild apple tree, though I'm not sure how to go about taking from that one (it's at a corner near to a high school by a major turn in the road. Getting to the tree would not be a problem [it's right by the sidewalk], but the question would be where to get away with parking...

I didn't know he did this one

I think it's a combo of bad leadership and bad economics. The actual workers probably get paid by the hour, so the longer they work, the more they get paid. And the more they do, the longer they work. If they screw up, it's the boss who will have to deal with the consequences mostly. As I said...

Yeah, thought we still don't know if that was clumsiness (like running the lawn mower over it and trying to hide the evidence,) or malice (like deciding animals don't deserve memorials and destroying it for that reason). Like with the Paulownia, we don't know exactly WHY they started slicing...

We currently just have the Chinese Mint. I'm going to try and put some fresh Egyptian Mint in next spring. I', just sort of faced with the dilemma that, if I keep it potted, it grows too well and overruns the pot, but if I put it in the ground, it never seems to go anywhere and doesn't come...

Still higher than Corsican Mint (Mentha requienii). While it is a nice and fragrant groundcover, I am a bit astonished that it is also the mint used to make creme de menthe. Given how tiny and low to the ground it is, I can't see any viable way of picking it en masse short of running a blade...

I counted flower clusters today, and they are at least three, all on separate "spurs". I suppose those count as branches, which would make it officially bush. A few have the star of pods, but it's a bit too early to guess how much seed I'll actually get off the plant. Not only do they vary...

This probably won't be for another few weeks, if not a month. I tried to open one of the bigger pods a little bit to peek inside, and, while the seeds are full sized, they're still completely green in there, so they need a bit longer. Guess I was lucky there. As they were basically similar to...

Largest Fava pod was withered today, so I decided it wasn't going to get any more mature, and the bean is now drying (well have to see how far it got). Just one pod left out there, same as with the pea (the second pod on the one with the big which was withered down as well, proved to have...

If you've ever wanted a small, four bedroom house.......on grounds that would hold a mega-mansion, and equipped with a dozen muti-hundred square foot conservatories; you might be a plant nut.

Decided to take the tops of the wet paper towel beans a bit early, and glad I did! It looks like the African stuff is all TOTALLY dead (I'll do the last one just to be sure, but I'm pretty sure now). I got SOME germination from the blacks and the whites but not much (like 7-8 out of maybe...

Wouldn't know where to get chicken wire. One of the disadvantages of living suburban, there ARE no feed stores with that kind of stuff. A hardware store MIGHT have some, but it would be super expensive. But I do have a wire cloche, I'll test that out. Short term, that would be better since...

I had to stick the chestnut trees BACK IN the cold frame, as it appears something out there likes to browse on them. Though this does bring up some questions as to exactly how I can plant them. It pretty much HAS to be the deer (given the pot plus sapling height the only way a rabbit could get...

Probably from around Sirius.

We're about to get another torrent, so I can probably wait until it is over. Surprisingly, one of the Favas IS still budding and flowering. Other updates 1. The beans on the pedestal also now have buds and flowers. I think we are seeing a definite pattern here, whatever gene from the...

If it makes you feel any better, I had to listen many times before I realized they really did use the word "chunder" (Australian for "throw up")

Has anyone here ever had any luck growing Linaria? Around here, the weedy yellow toadflax (a.k.a. Butter and Eggs) grows like, well, a weed. But every time I try to sow the domestic one to get a bit more color diversity, I don't get sprout one. In fact, in my whole life, I think I've only...

One new addition on the way. I found someone on Etsy who had seed for the red-fruited nightshade I was looking for. Turns out I was looking in the wrong place (it's Africa, not India) and the wrong species (it's villosum, not nigrum, same as the ortoccoli berries). Unless there is a red fruit...
