You post "How to Grow a Tea Garden", in a vegetable garden newsgroup!
And then the site that you give us says "put potting soil in pot, and
plant herb", close quotes. Did you just fall off the turnip truck, out
on the interstate? Your ignorance of the subject is offensive. An being
a freak is far better than being an aluminum siding, used car, "tea bag"
anal sphincter, to come into a forum where you know squat, and try to
run the "hits" routine on us. Go bugger yourself.


What Wildbilly is trying to say in a very Wildbilly way, is to take it easy.
You have joined an established group which is the societal equivalent of a
community. You've accused a regular poster here of being rude, but then
have you read here for long enough so that the personalities of the posters
are known to you, or followed the interactions between individuals? Can you
recognise the twits and separate them from those who give good advice?

Wildbilly is a regular so he's one of us and we're used to him. That does
not mean that we necessarily share the same opinions or never have
disagreements with him, but we do know him whereas we don't know you.
Wildbilly has a presence and a personality known to regular readers and
posters, you don't yet. If you choose to remain, hang around and read for a
while and then ease yourself into the group.


Tony: A tea garden is a delightful hobby that can complement your herb
garden and will provide you with the joy of fresh tea at a moment's
notice. . . her's (?, Here's) a beautifully made guide to grow tea in
anyway at home!!!!

Tony's freakin' web site:

Herbal-Tea-Garden

References to "tea" below should be understood to refer to herbal* tea.
Creating the Tea Garden
1
Select a large container or a part of your existing herb garden. Either
method for a tea garden is fine, as long as it is convenient for you.

2
Prepare the soil or pot. Prepare the soil or pot as you would do
normally for planting herbs or flowers.

3
Choose your herbs. There are quite a few herbs and flowers that are
suitable for making herbal teas. Your choice is dependent on what
flavors you like the most and what will grow best for you. The following
is a mere selection of good possibilities:

yada, yada, yada

4
Follow the growing instructions for each plant.

A total of 7 suckers paid for ads on this page.

Billy: We are a gardening group pal.

Tony: Hey freak! What the heck do you want from me????? . . . I just love
tea!!!!!!! And woul dlove** to grow tea at my house ok? What's your
problem?

Tony: Well allright, I AM SORRY if you didn't like my article on green
tea***, I was just wanting to share it with you to get some advice, but
some of you seems to be a bit aggressive, I am a GARDENING LOVER OK?
------

OK, it's given that Tony is too dumb to have written the web site, so
he's off the hook for trying to rope in the suckers.

I guess that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I wouldn't call the
web page beautiful in any regard.

First, there is the dissonance between "A tea garden is a delightful
hobby that can complement your herb garden and will provide you with the
joy of fresh tea . . .", and I just love tea!!!!!!! And woul dlove** to
grow tea at my house ok?

There is the delight and joy of tea gardening followed by the
conditional "would", as in "I just love tea!!!!!!! And woul dlove** to
grow tea at my house."
------
It would appear that Tony doesn't actually participate in the delight
and joy of tea gardening, but cherishes the thought of it instead.

Apparently, Tony barely stopped long enough at the site to cut and
paste, because it says, right at the top, "References to "tea" below
should be understood to refer to herbal* tea."

Tony: "Well allright, I AM SORRY if you didn't like my article on green
tea***."
-----
He still doesn't get it. Apparently, he doesn't know what a tisane, or
an infusion is.

Tony, I found the web sight to be offensive and insulting, because there
was no information on the gardener/plant interaction (watering, feeding,
light, temperatures) and you were posing. You wouldn't know a Camellia
sinensis, if you fell over it.

Tony, (or anyone else) you don't have to impress anybody. If you think
you can help a poster here, please respond to them.

Tony, (or anyone else) if you have questions, ask, and provide
information about soil, and weather that pertain to your problem. If you
just want to be a ******, and a poser, move to Los Angles.

Capisce?

You'd do well to follow Farms advice.

Here (N. Calif.) the peach trees are blooming. The rhubarb has put out
its first leaves, and a dozen or so overlooked potatoes have popped up.
I rewarded the potatoes with coffee grounds. I seeded my beds with rye
and buckwheat, and the buckwheat seems to be growing best.

Rainy this weekend, I hope to get back out to the garden next week. I
need the exercise.

Inside, the tomatoes, and peas have germinated, and the first of the
peppers poked its head up today (a sweet banana pepper).
