Old Old gag but still funny. Can be told 100 different ways.

 

[leverhead]

That's right I have plenty to dish out . Anybody need a load ?
Stop by and I will fill you full of it .

 

[Knucklehead]

Just Don't step on the fresh ones .
That poo reminds me that I have over 150 tons of it waiting to be cleaned out of my manure barn .

Do you spread that over your fields?

 

[BigBonner]

Do you spread that over your fields?

I did until I broke my manure spreader down . This year I will take it back on my cow pasture in dump it in places where the grass doesn't grow so good . Then I will take the tractor loader and push spread it heavily on poorer sections of my hilly cow pasture .I will be putting a bunch on next years tobacco ground .

BB, did you see the video on those dairy farms that their whole power source was run on a generator fueled by the methane from the cow manure? I had to see it for my self, so I built one that uses chicken, rabbit, goat, & things like banana peels , and dog gone if it doesn't work.

Yeah, and we know where you use the heat. Hey, Waste not, want not. LOL

 

[workhorse_01]

What do you mean waste I built it for that

 

[workhorse_01]

The roots from the Little dutch grew to the bottom of 18oz. cups in 5 days so I planted them in their own rows during tropical storm chicken hawk.

 

[workhorse_01]

Well the rain finally stopped. Now we need to dry out before the plants begin to yellow. I think there will be a lot of growing going on this week, hopefully to use up the standing water.

 

[AmaxB]

I think you will be able to enjoy a quiet smoke an watch them grow an inch or more...

 

[Chicken]

looks like we are on the same page,,,, i got 1/2 of my covered rows planted, about 100+ plants,,, AFTER TROPICAL STORM CHICKENHAWK [ lol ] passed, i took advantage of the poo,,,and fertilizer getting good and in the soil.

a lot of my plants were good size, to still be in cups, deciding which strain to put where, so when thier grown, they will be easy to manuver around. was the most complicating part of the ordeal.

ive made the misatke, of placing them in the wrong spot, in the past, this year im going for a uniform grow,

but i drink beer while doing my gardening, so it will be far from uniform,,,lol

Now why would that be so?

 

[workhorse_01]

I have to go this morning and crawl through a very nice old lady's attic. It's a very tight one and is going to be murder on my spine. We may be replacing the a/c system so no tobacco in the ground for me today. The transplants have grown so big you wouldn't recognize them. Fisherman was right tobacco loves the flood and drain approach. The roots have grown to the bottom of the 18oz. cups and are hanging out the holes I put in them two inches. They have stalks almost a half inch round and are six inches high, Them bad boys are ready for the dirt. If I ain't dead when I get home today and I get the new brooder finished (18 more chickens hatched) I'll start putting them in the ground.Has anyone used preen? I've been thinking of using it but if it stops new weeds how then does it not effect the plant we want to grow? Will a new seed, lets say a cucumber or pea germinate in soil that's been dosed with preen? Tropical storm chickenhawk has got me with grass and pulling it is going to stink, but once pulled the preen is supposed to stop new grass. I've got some rows that were left empty to stagger the harvest and i'm not sure if seeds will germinate if I dose the ground with it.

I've never used it but I read a bit. It claims to inhibit germination. If that is so I would expect it would inhibit germination of any seed it contacted.

 

[workhorse_01]

That blows! I gotta get ahead of this grass again. I probably will still be fighting it when frost comes, but the veggies are worth it we are picking 8 cucumbers a week now from 9 plants. Every three days we get a 4gal. bucket of green beans. The Okra has begun to flower, my fordhooks are white with flowers and I need to get the rest of my bacca in the ground! LOL

Never could get to like Okra. Guess it's a developed taste like spinach. To me it always had a "slimy" texture. How many tons of peas did you freeze?

 

[workhorse_01]

I freeze a lot of everything! LOL We have holestein peas, mayflower beans, Green beans, Jackson wonders, Fordhooks, green limas, speckled butter peas, purple hulls, Christmas pole limas, florida speckled buter beans, Clemson spineless okra, cucumber, boston pickling cuke, Ga. rattlesnake watermelon, cantaloupe, truckers fav corn, Cherokee white eagle corn, and Kamut wheat. shew! I don't like okra either grainy, slimy and big seeds. But i'm trying to learn I add a lot of everglades seasoning to it bread it and deep fry it. ( I can almost eat it).
