Guerrilla gardening

Pam - Would you consider submitting a small percentage of your seeds to growing a more cold tolerant plant - you may find it gets better every season/generation ...eventually you should be able to grow without any problem aside from fewer pods on those plants for a while.

Hello? *points at self* Baccatuum Girl, here. They already show more cold tolerance as a species in my experience. There are exceptions, of course, but as a whole, they performed and survived better in my hoop house experiment than the Annuums or Chinense plants.

And I am growing Aji Rojo plants from two different sources this season because they are said to tolerate light frosts.

So, yeah, it is an area I am exploring.

Dont forget the drop bear, vicious little buggers.

Yeah, know that little bugger. Fierce little relative of the coalas. He waits in a tree until a biker passes and then jumps on the biker's head to take a ride.

My neighbors had a pet monkey when I was young that ran around loose in the summers, and he would do something that. He'd wrap his little legs around your neck and grab a hank of hair in each fist, and you could *not* get him off.

Of course, he was a real monkey, not a snipe.

That's about the behavior they report of the Australian drop bear. The Bavarian Wolpertinger is worse.

Back in LA me and Dave Reed did this constantly. We'd walk around during the day and find a perfect spot for some Ameranth or tomatoes or what ever we had spair of. Then afte a late night of smoking and drinking we'd go out planting. We'd also leave a sign saying that they have been Guerrilla Gardened and what the plant was.

*looks sheepish*


Three different sources.


Well, you know, I was catalog fondling last night and, well...
 
I have several voluteer native bird peppers that came up in the pot and I'll be going gorilla a couple spots by the lake and maybe on the nature trail on Honeymoon Island.I'll wait till they get a bit bigger.They do well supposudly in sandy soils.
 
Hey Bent, my first attempt at guerilla gardening has been a success! I have around 8 sprouts that have come up in my ex missus garden. Don't know what type they are, time will tell the story.

All i did was throw around twenty seeds into a garden bed!
