She hates my mama
She hates my daddy too
She loves to tell me
She hates the things I do
She loves to lie beside me
Almost every night
She's no lady she's my wife
The preacher asked her
And she said I do
The preacher asked me
And she said yes he does too
And the preacher said
I pronounce you 99 to life
Son she's no lady she's your wife.
Marlingarderer sweetie, that's Lyle....

Pinetree gets its catalog out early! My seed catalogs don't usually come until around Christmas or even early Jan. I always figured it was to avoid being lost in the flood of Christmas shopping catalogs pouring in. I used to shop out of the catalogs, so I get a million of them. Now that I make most of my gifts, I should work harder at trying to stop the catalogs... such a waste of paper and beautiful printing.

Marlingardener, you're kidding us right? Lyle, a ugly as he is, had sufficient talent to catch Julia Robert's eye and even married her.
Put on your headphones and give this one a listen. If it doesn't win you over I'll have to worry about you.

I must say he does clean up well, but I still just don't get the voice. I guess you need to start worrying, Charlie.
It's not the voice. He's Shakespeare with a touch of Robin Williams and a little Bob Dylan thrown in for good measure.

You may just have gotten me started on a whole new hobby (as if I needed one!) I don't think I would like the look of packages just wrapped in pages from catalogs, but I realized if you get into making homemade paper, you could recycle the catalog pages into new homemade paper! Too cool!rainbowgardener wrote:interesting idea... I do of course recycle everything, but that's still a lot more wasteful than just not printing them.
I will have to think more about the gift wrap idea, see if there's a way I could do that, that would meet my rather exacting standards about gift wrapping...
So now I'm trying to figure out how to make a mold and deckle big enough to make a gift wrapping sized sheet! Can I do this in time for this Christmas?!

window screen.
When I experimented with making paper with my kids, we used window screens and embroidery hoops.
I think actual window frame/screens are not secured well enough to support the wet pulp.
Easiest way I can think of would be to use an artists canvase frame kit ... Or make a double frame similar to embroidery hoops in the size you want.
I can see you embedding herbs and flower petals. Lavender! Sounds like a wonderful project

My heroes, the two Alberts, Schweitzer and Einstein.
Einstein though he is noted for the Theory of Relativity, seems to have been a man with a gift for seeing through to and boiling down the essence of things. Hundreds of wonderful quotes are attributed to him (e.g.
https://rescomp.stanford.edu/~cheshire/EinsteinQuotes.html
And anyway every time I see a picture of him, I fall in love with those eyes and that hair!

Then there is Schweitzer, medical missionary, philospher-scientist, Nobel peace prize winner, musician and scholar of music, author (including writings on Reverence for Life). And he is portrayed with a wonderful smile
[img]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bundesarchiv_Bild_183-D0116-0041-019,_Albert_Schweitzer.jpg[/img] (couldn't quite get that to appear here, but if you click the square, you can open the photo in a new window) or just go here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Schweitzer
I'm tempted to use Marie Curie for the third. She's from the same era as the Alberts and with two Nobel prizes, she could certainly hold her own in conversation with them. But it might shake things up and make it livelier to have someone more contemporary.
So perhaps Ursula K. LeGuin, my all time favorite author, a contemporary woman with an amazing scope of thought...
Now there would be a dinner to remember!

OK, did I just make that all up? My post above was, because I could swear Mg's post included a challenge question about what three people (past or present) would you invite to Thanksgiving dinner.
By the time I finished the post and hit submit, there was no such question.
Marlingardener, are you playing with me?

Yeah, I enjoyed looking at those names and the reasons you would invite them in both threads.
Other than family, I've been wondering who I'd like to see at the Thanksgiving table . . .
Calvin Lamborn, who developed the Sugarsnap Pea should be an appreciated choice. Those snap peas were about the most important garden addition in my lifetime, after he came up with them!
And, James Baggett, with his peas, beans and tomatoes - wow! I've even grown his Summertime lettuce.
Sitting down with Luther Burbank . . . Hey!! Besides the ingredients, I wonder if they'd help do the dishes!

Partly because I fell for the temptation to careen so far off topic:
There are seed companies that are entirely online. One is Solana Seed in Quebec. I have never ordered from Solana. The shipping fee for international orders has deterred me . . . so far.
However, there is a new listing for 2012 at: [url=https://solanaseeds.netfirms.com/]Solana Seed (click).[/url]
There is probably a good opportunity, other than here on the Helpful Gardener, to share ideas on a favorite seed catalog (including those online) by making a recommendation on About.com. [url=https://gardening.about.com/b/2011/11/19/recommend-a-gardening-catalog.htm]They are asking today (click).[/url]

I have also received a couple catalogs in the mail already. they are stuffed in the cabinet until after the holidays as the last thing I need is to get garden obsessed already. a friend and I already made plans to start paper machet pot in january. I'm going to experiment with vegetable and tomato tone in the bottom of the pot so the seedlings don't die like they did last year.

Living in paper pots caused s nitrogen deficiency *I think* That makes me think they need something extra to survive the paper pots.
No one else had decorations up or gifts wrapped? Hello only 19 days left! Well, til Christmas other holiday celebrations come sooner! And I didn't say I was done, I just get 80% of my shopping done on black Friday.
Is anyone else up to 5 seed catalogs? Its nuts! I'm over seed savers and Bakers creek I LOVE them.

My memory isn't the best but I believe most of them turned yellow shriveled up and just died......though I think the toms and peppers stopped growing for quite awhile before they pooped out. Most had a few true leaves before they bit the dust.
