You people living in drought conditions should move to NY. We have had more rain than San Francisco in Spring. This was my first year with a vegetable garden. I don't know what all the fuss is about. I have 10,000,000 tomatoes, 45,000 zuchinni (two feet long), peppers up the wazoo, and brocholi coming out of my ears. Speaking of ears, I have corn tha's 8 feet high with at least two ears of corn forming in each stalk. This is the good part. The bad part is that I used to get a break of cutting the lawn during the summer. Instead of cutting an acre of grass every week, Ive been forced to cut every single week. It sucks. You people with a drought should put in a sprinkler system and water at midnight. Either that or move to NY. This way the next Porch party will be closer for me... :^) -Clappy P.S. Anyone want a bag of tomatoes? P.P.S. Anyone know how to make fried green tomatoes? Is it as simple as it's name? P.P.P.S. Anyone know of any other uses for zuchinni? <Clappy leaves the door open and walks out...>

Volt! I just had an idea re ... ..."alternative irrigation methods" during watering bans. What you could do is round up as many male beer drinkers as you can find. (Perhaps a good "source" might be some of the local university fraternity houses?) Invite 'em all out to your house for a party. Fill 'em full of suds and ... CLOSE the bathroom. Send 'em all out back with explicit instructions as to which plants/areas need "watering." From a cash "flow" <g> perspective, you may find that the cost of the beer may indeed be less than the banned water itself ... in the "long" <g> run ... As well, the "quality" of the fluid might be better than plain old water ... additional nutrients, minerals ... does malt perhaps enhance soil? We got any botanists or geologists or "dirt scientist" types on this board? Hell ... you might even be able to line up a "sponsor." Such as Anheuser Busch. They'd jump at the opportunity if they could get any free air time out of it. What do you think? Call it "processed irrigation?" hahahahahahahahahahahaha 'bonnuss karloff' ###
