Right. Hell they want even mow the land line right.:smack: I saw today when I cut grass someone has been using my yard for a shortcut around jail w/pickup or truck. Trustees I guess. But that crap will stop!

Time for a few strategically placed steel-reinforced concrete birdbaths?

I have a friend here whose house backs up onto the SCI Graterford Property. He got a great deal on the house for obvious reasons ... and expects never to have a problem given his location since the last place an escaped prisoner wants to be is right next to the prison.

I don't lock my doors. Before they built the new jail, one night a young kid ran out of lockup into woods, boy it was so thick you couldn't get though there in daylight. Anyway my dog was getting reved up over all the shit. So I hollowed did they want me to turn my dog loose. The kid came out. looked like he had been rolled in barbed wire. BTW they built all that shit years after my house was here.

By the by, that's a beautiful garden you have there, buster.

:)
This is from memory but I'll check before fall. Take the seeds and pulp out (you can still use the meat) and soak them in a glass of water for a few days. The water ferments a little bit separating the seed and pulp. Floaters are bad seeds sinkers are good'uns. You then lay them out to dry. I'll check specifics, I've got a seed savers handbook around here somewhere, but Grifftopias library isn't exactly laid out Dewey decimal...

Take the seeds and pulp out... soak... Floaters...bad...sinkers..good

Can do. Please alter protocol to match documented best practice. :coffee:

Those are Columbines!! :eek: I didn't know that and I've eaten a ton of those suckers.

Are you thinking of Nasturtiums? peppery, also have the kinda cone-tail-like things. They are more of an edible flower. I dunno about eating columbines.

As an aside, all gardens should have nasturtiums. Pack of seeds, grow anywhere, any time, great in salads and beautiful too.

Not sure, but they look just like those and grow wild all over New England. Not peppery at all, we'd bite off the little bulbs at the end of the cones which is filled with sweet nectar.
I eat, therefore I bee. ;)

buster how the hell do you live with a backyard so exposed?? !!

cant you plant a heddge or some trees to protect your privacy in your yard??

Well my yard, I kinda do as I please. I try not to embarrass the folks in the dentist office next door. But hey I was here first.:) Butt holes have got kinda narrow-minded about the discharging of firearms though. :smack:

Grow all over New England and sweet - honeysuckle?

yep, definitely honeysuckle! I used to slurp them in PA, too.
