I love pickles, but they are generally too unhealthy in terms of salt/sodium? Maybe there are ways of pickling to avoid that?<br /><br />I loooooooooooooooove watermelon! What kind did you think he planted? I never knew of different variety really (except seedless, which I'd imagine is genetically altered).<br /><br />As for Cancun.... forever young, darling, forever young.

No matter how much you like cucumbers, there are too many. <br /><br />Watermelon isn't my favorite, but I'll eat it. We just picked one last night for dinner, but it was way too early. I thought he had planted a certain kind, but after cutting it, found out he had planted a different. One watermelon wasted. Fortunately, there are still about 20 still growing.<br /><br />Cancun at Spring Break? What are you, 18? At my age, I go for better beaches without the crowds, thank you very much. <br /><br />I'm glad you liked the photos. Pigs have been known to eat lots of things, including people.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-21769816944967052952013-07-24T16:27:09.571-04:002013-07-24T16:27:09.571-04:00You had me at "photos" :-)
I'm glad...You had me at "photos" :-)<br /><br />I'm glad the pigs survived (and you survived) their neck stabbings. It's kind of hard to know if it really happened with the lack of pictures and all.<br /><br />Does one plant seriously yield 50k cucumbers? Don't mess with me... I'm a city boy (actually I'm not really but yeah). That would be a little too nuts if true. But a sound investment for making pickles, or cinnamon pickles.<br /><br />I loooooooooooooove watermelon and most all fruits. Growing them would be pretty awesome. Sorry about the apples, what exactly caused that?<br /><br />We all go through those awkward teenage years... except it seems some of us (if chickens) don't survive. The only Chick Paradise I want to end up is Cancun during Spring Break!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing the photos. I really do think the pigs would eat him if given the chance...<br /><br />Jak at <a href="http://crytonchronicles.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">The Cryton Chronicles</a> & <a href="http://dreamsintheshadeofink.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Dreams in the Shade of Ink</a>Jakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05069266783997777691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-31267659338629937582013-07-22T01:20:54.780-04:002013-07-22T01:20:54.780-04:00Thanks for responding..you are so sweet!
