What's wrong with you?


I don't think all of the posts from Billy Rose are actually from Billy
Rose......


I thank you for the thought Ann but I done it.
It just makes me so angry that these wimps spew out whatever drivel is
in their tiny little skulls without presenting any reason for their
opinions. I could bite the guy's ankles off. Fortunately, the diuretic I
am taking has kept my blood pressure has kept it as flat as a board. If
anybody is interested, and I can't imagine why, I would be glad to
re-post the entire interaction. But if I go ballistic again, and you can
never tell when, cut me some slack, please, and figure I have a reason.
I'm sorry if I scared any of the tourists.

I hope you liked the Michael Pollard piece. That stuff about insects
going after the nitrogen, using sweet alyssum to attract beneficial
insects, and polyphenolics and soil composition just blew me away.

I seem to be flip-flopping between life and death in my readings. I
bought Omnivore's Dilemma, so the rest is on hold while I read a library
book about American intransigence in the face of several genocides ( A
Problem from Hell).

Here, today I planted half a dozen each sweet alyssums and marigolds in
the garden, a pair of goldenrods, replaced a psyllium that had been
eaten, put down a first coating of alfalfa mulch on the corn, tomatoes,
and peppers (they are showing their first flowers), replaced a
Gynostemma pentaphyllum that had been eaten, planted my surviving
chamomile, re-potted two lemon balms ( they had doubled in size in one
week), replanted a dozen plants from germination trays, repotted some
lettuce for hardening off and planted a crook neck. I was soaked by the
time I was through although it was only in the low 90s. The misting down
in the morning and evening was a pleasure.

Had our first beans from the garden yesterday. Finished up most of what
was there this evening. At least they didn't get away from me. How do
you do green beans any way? I boil them for 6 min., cool with tap water
and then lightly saute them with butter, parsley, and shallots or onions.
Pretty much depleted my lettuce. Need to let it recharge and get more
into the patch.

I'm sorry that I let you down. My address is above. You can check with
me anytime. Sorry Charlie played you along. We are in touch. He knew it
was me. If I break it, I own it.

But those vacuous, narcissistic, posturing, little weasels really burn
my toast.

Thank you for caring,
- Billy
