Ladies, a new use for Victory Gardens
Okay. So lawmakers in certain states want to outlaw sex-toys? I propose "Vagina Victory Gardens". It doesn't take much space to grow cucumbers or zucchinis. I'm half-way serious here. Put your green thumbs to work.

I have to admit, veggies are a hell of a lot cheaper than latex toys. (No comment on how I know this)

Spring is here. How does your Vagina Victory Garden grow?

2. I guess you mean the spineless cucumbers. Stay away from some of those
pickle types.

radishes may also be "carved into a beautiful garnish" according to a seed catalog I've seen..or okra which is "slow to build up pod fiber"..(??)

44. Painted Serpent is the brand name, for those of you taking notes.

At least that's what it looks like to me -- those Armenian 'cukes' are something else/

29. We had a DA in a Texas town
Edited on Tue Mar-07-06 05:02 PM by AnneD
Near Dallas that pressed charges after 2 impotent cops busted a lingerie party. In Texas, you can sell adult novelty toys but not sex aides. I mean jeez. We are talking a tupperware type party of married women trying to spice up their marriage.:eyes: I think it got thrown out after the entire state and country laughed about it.
I like the garden. Might I recommend Chinese eggplants. I also think the foliage from anise plants can add a wonderful sensory aspect to your for..er uh gardening.

37. Don't get me started :)
We (wife and I) have a place out in the sticks that we plan to live on someday. In the meantime, we go up there most every weekend.

We can't do vegetable gardening right now, because that requires at least every other day watering, cultivating, etc.

So we're doing what we can. Up to now we've planted 10 pecan trees, 12 blackberry bushes (they do very well in our soil), 3 blueberry bushes (just put in, I'm not sure the variety we got will do well in Texas :)), and a couple grape vines as more or less a test.

We have to use a 55 gallon drum and tractor to water this stuff. We keep refining the technique, I think I finally have a good procedure that doesn't take forever.

I love gardening. I love watching plants grow from nothing into something beautiful and/or edible. I'm a nature boy at heart. I grow other things, but this is NOT a sex thread :)

41. I enjoy gardening - seriously :)
I grew up with pecans trees. If us kids wanted extra money we had to pick'em up, bag'em up and sell'em.

Every year we had a vegetable garden. Anything and everything was planted.

As a kid I would moan and groan about working the garden but now I enjoy it.

Before we moved a little over a year ago, I had a flower garden and a small vegetable garden. I miss them.


Good luck - and - May all your gardens grow and grow :)

50. Oh I agree...
... we plan to use drip for most of our gardening.

Right now though, the blackberries/blueberries/grapes are 250' from the nearest water spigot.

Our long-term plan is to use a large water tank (around 500-750 gallons), fill it from our pond using a pump, with a drip system attached to that. Pond water will be much better for our plants than that nasty chlorinated tap stuff :)
