题目: I'd like to offer my apologies to the members in the UK

for offending them. I was hoping to show how it felt to have one's country continually attacks. Apparently it was a bad idea as it offended many of my UK friends as well. So to them I say I'm truly sorry and to all I offer my apologies. I'm off to go soak my head now.

题目: is this a fruit or a nut?

被nobleheart修改(14. 九月 2005, 01:41:34)

none of that allowed on this board.

14. 九月 2005, 02:24:36

I'm sure the "Farmers Almanac", will strongly recommend planting things such as radishes,carrots,beets,potatoes,onions,and garlic during the"dark" side of the moon.

题目: Re:

Foxy Lady: Because of garlics long life in the earth,it will produce.
Perhaps if you had time,you could plant at both of the moons phases.
I believe you would be amazed at the difference.

题目: Re:

ArtfulDodger: We use grass clippings and leaves.My husband also uses a can of Pepsi to get new composte cooking.It needs to be turned every few days so far we've have good luck with it.

题目: Re:

Kipling: So far we have very good luck with the garlic every year.We plant the way my granmother does and has for about 30 yrs and her garlic is pretty good in size and very potent.
