Gardening for Old Folks (Adaptative)

I think Jethro Tull as a band name is the only one that used a persons' name, without being a name of the band member.
Can you think of any others??

Marshall Tucker band

Marshall Tucker

"While rehearsing at the Burwell Building in downtown Spartanburg, Tommy Caldwell found a key with a label reading “Marshall Tucker,” and the band adopted the name. Tucker was, in fact, a real person, and later said that he wasn’t bothered by the use of his name—he was just glad that the band had done well."

I have two of those push planters for the garden. the only way tiny seeds work is if you can put enough of them into the hopper so that the disc can pick them up.
for really small seeds, use a jar like a powdered cheese shaker. mix the tiny seeds with very dry sand and just shake the seeds out along the row.
add only enough seeds for the length of the row. If you get to the end of the row and there is still sand in the jar, just go back down the row until the jar is empty.
mix in a little white flour so you can see where you have planted...
it works with beets and radishes and carrots and lettuce.

@jvls1942 That is really good advice for planting tiny seeds.

I got thirsty for a beer so I came down stairs.
as long as I am down here I am catching up on my emails.
so far the beer has not been consistently clear.
I washed a bunch of wine bottles and have clarifier in the carbouy. I should be bottling on Mon or Tuesday..

Beer you bottled?

Well, it's looking like I'll start my onions in the next day or 2 and start the rest of the seeds the weekend of the 13th-14th.

Yes Bruce, beer I bottled a few weeks ago.
I am thinking of taking some and putting it into a one gallon jug and see if I can start it fermenting again..
I am going to bottle five gallons of wine this afternoon. blackberry. all going into magnum bottles.. fewer corks needed.
still a few inches of snow on the ground and roofs. but it should all be gone in a few days with these high 40's and low 50's..
maple sap should really be running already.
