Although you are the “Oracle of All things COOL,” My Dear…

Hellooooo? When planting seeds it’s important to LABEL them, otherwise you’ll forget what you planted where! I’m betting those are just weeds that sprung up from the bag of dirt you bought at Walmart!

A Sharpie and some masking tape are my preferred labeling tools. I put the masking tape over my wife’s mouth, and then I write “QUIET” on it, with the Sharpie…

Wait, that’s not it… but it does explain the “Masking Tape Mouthpiece” I woke up sporting this morning. I’d tell you what she wrote on it, but it’s um… “unprintable…”

This is a “Family Show,” after all…

I also always “force” my new seeds, by topping off whatever I planted them in with some “secured” clear plastic wrap. Why? Because it’s “manly”… that’s why!

“Grow, dang it!” Ronin bellowed…

A rubber band works to hold the plastic wrap in place, or you can use some carefully placed tape, if your container is too large.

Now, I’ve gotta get back to the shed.

(No, I ain’t been “bad”… Well, at least nobody’s actually caught me at it yet…)

I’m gluing some recycled PVC pipe and old connectors together to make a greenhouse/chicken coop/nuclear reactor!

It’s amazing what you can learn watching reruns of “MacGiver!”

I can totally picture your vertical garden and look forward to seeing some pics. I’m doing something similar with a garden arbor I’m putting in with some new raised beds this year for Cucumbers and Poll Beans.. itchin to get fingers in the dirt!
