Oh Sam! You gotta broaden your horizons! They prolly just don't have good sushi in Texas.

You ever come to Jersey, stop by! I will take you to the shore, we will drink beer by the ocean, I will ply you with lemondrop shots (if you are so inclined, that is), and then when you are good and silly, I will get you to eat a California roll, and perhaps suck down a few boiled clams in the shell in garlic butter and oil. You will be a True Believer.

Jersey seafood is a treat not too be missed!

In Wa state, there is the best place for oysters. Willapa Bay oysters, get them fresh from the growers. Just put them on the grill, heaven. We used to go to a cabin there every summer, and go to the "Jazz and Oysters" festival. They grill the oysters, $1.00/ea. Wine and beer served to adults, lots of other food, too. Listen to Jazz on the lawn, couple glasses of wine, and all the BBQ oysters you can handle.

Prescott is ~7 depending on the elevation. Looking at place in Chino Valley, zone 8. Nice water, 35 gpm well. Crappy house, 5 acres. Perfect for chickens and noisy parrots, though! Dread moving again. How many times have we sworn, this is the LAST move?

Why would you schvetty say that? balls

<Innocent look> moist

I live to annoy!

Yes. Yes you do.

I don't like beer OR Sushi

...wine and crab BALLS...

We'd be talkin'

I'll do wine and sushi, wine and crab BALLS, Beer and sushi, ber and crab BALLS, sushi and crab BALLS/// but never wine and beer!

Totally agree with everything you just said. I crave sushi if I haven't had it in a while. Yum yum yum!

The PIC is like that! He LOVES sushi! Our commissary in TX used to roll fresh sushi daily, so we'd have to get some about once a week. Here, on the KY/TN border, there's no good sushi places anywhere! We have the Japanese Steakhouse Grill that carries sushi, and a chinese buffet that has some sushi, but nothing really outstanding.

Well, I got up to fifty four, and then quit. I spent 1 1/2 hours of my life reading this.

Thems rookie numbers!! Try 3 hours a day (or more), 7 days a week!!! HA!

GOOD MORNING MY SQUATCHERS!!!

We're zoned 6b/7a depending on which website you visit... so I'm not sure... ugh! Our ground is kind of weird, it could be good to plant in IF we could get a deeper tiller to work the ground. We have a smallish, electric tiller that we used to break up a little section in front of our house to plant the Hawaiian purple potatoes, but, again, they grew funny........ so, we'll probably need raised beds and, of course, taters in laundry baskets.

It is FINALLY nice and sunny outside today.... in the 50s today I believe... gotta get the PIC up and raking leaves to go into the chickies run. Plus, I'm gonna attempt to get our dining room straightened up. For a very long time, we had boxes coming in daily.. plus, my mom came to stay with us for a couple of months, so our dining room is overwhelmed with clutter. We haven't been able to eat dinner at our dining room table for months! Need to get that situation, well, SITUATED!

I'll pop in from time to time... but quit talking so much!!!

I spent a week a month, in your smelly state for the last 13 years. I loved being able to go to a restaurant on the shore an get really fresh seafood.

Hahahaha, that would be "smelly, overpriced state"!

Actually (and this is a big misconception about my beloved Dirty Jersey) it doesn't smell till you hit the Stinky Bridge (I can't ever remember the name of it so that's what I call it) up around exit 120 or so. Below that, it's still the Garden State, and it smells good! The Pine Barrens smell clean and woody, the shore smells like beach. It really doesn't stink in the lower half of the state!

It's no trouble at all
I do most of my gardening in raised beds and half barrels. I love learning about gardening.... when I'm not being frustrated by it!
I think of greens as lettuces, spinach, herbs of any sort, collards, kale ... I think Swiss chard would fit in here too unless it's one of the sneaky ones that doesn't fit in a catagory.

*my spelling is in the sucks catagory today

I bet you could put bok choi in those laundry baskets after 'taters come out. They do not have a huge root system, and like cool fall weather. I grew them in big flower pots in Palm Desert and people thought they were tropical house plants.

Really? I've been told that it would buy several people. It is easier to divide it up so everyone can get some .

Really.

I have bok choy seeds already too! (ha HA Bob!!!) Hell, I think I have seeds for damn near every plant...... we've only been here for just over a year, so haven't gotten a garden up and running... that is DEFINITELY in the plans for 2018.....
