no, not deadwood. it's springtime and a young man's fancy turns to tomatoes. i hadn't planned on tomatoes this year since my best pal and growing partner drifted up to valhalla but after a little chat with sonny we decided the little tomato competition was a tradition worth continuing. i've planted a few plants of the variety pops liked to plant and i then planted a few crazy ones that i used to plant so everyone has moved up a notch. i guess i'm now officially the patriarch of the family.
when i was a kid it was the usual practice to plant tomatoes on the may long weekend but thanks to global warming i can get an early start. last year i over watered the little darlings after falling in love with my irrigation canals so this year the little angels will start getting pretty thirsty around the middle of august.
the real big news is i filled out an application to adopt a dog from the shelter. fuck me, in the old days they thanked people for adopting strays but now the sons of bitches in charge of strays want people to kiss their ass in order to get a dog. there's a pretty good chance i'll them to go fuck themselves if they want me to grovel and promise to enroll the dog in obedience training and a formal "socialization" program.
i love you sons of bitches.

Maybe I'll do a tomato plant next year after my move to Texas, if I live through the move..
We just start some seed indoors.
They say home-grown tomatoes are tastier, but is the sunshine in Canada good enough for them?
Tell 'em you'll homeschool the pup.
bbc - not only will you live, you'll be the fucking king!
peppy - i always save a few tomato seeds in the fall but invariably i lose them by the spring.
gb - we've had sunshine technology for decades. and as a back-up we have green houses as far as the eye can see.
thims - excellent idea. the shelters want people to have some dog that will never bite and wag its tail no matter what happens. i always have a dog who will bite any son of a bitch that threatens my security.
my buddy with the guns is moving and he has to get a permit that is only good for one day to move his guns from the old house to the new house. i think we might be over regulated.
I've never bothered with fucking permits, the powers that be do not need to know what I'm doing.
You'd like adopting a dog down here, just bail them out for a minimal charge and that's it. (I don't think that Nanny State crap will ever fly around here.)
Good luck with your maters, the grasshoppers have pretty much shut down my gardening efforts.
I just received another questionnaire to fill out for adopting the dog. unless the dog is a real winner, i'm going to tell the woman that she hasn't passed my screening.
a few of the shelters have programs for fostering older dogs which interests me but the lovely mrs myshkin doesn't like the idea. it's my plan b.
They want you to kiss their ass to save a dog THEY'RE going to put down? That's kind of sick, right? Anyway, best of luck with tomatoes and doggies!
: )
Why nor get an older dog too?
kenneth - i think these guys rescue dogs from kill shelters then try to place them with benevolent strangers.
leslie - i'm getting too old to look after 2 large dogs. i once had 2 large dogs that got into epic fights a few times a year. i'll never forget the vicious battle they got into when one pea rolled off the dinner table and they both claimed it.
Adopting an older one is the kindest move.
I think I would be kind to myself and get a young dog rather an old dog I would have to put down in a few years. Besides, we need youth around us to help keep us young, at heart anyway.
Good luck with the tomatoes and your other plants as well, BP. And even more good luck with the dog from the rescue. They should just read your blog and that you should get a dog of your choosing. Take care my friend.
i haven't heard back from the rescue org so they are off my list.
i promptly answered their emails and filled out the questionnaires immediately so i expect the same courtesy in return. ergo, adios to this organization.
"I think I would be kind to myself and get a young dog rather an old dog I would have to put down in a few years. Besides, we need youth around us to help keep us young, at heart anyway."
Of course you would. You're a self-centered POS. That will never change.
An old, abandoned dog would be much more appreciative of being given a home in which to live out its final years. The puppies always get adopted.
And you are a washed up cocksucker so you adopt an old dog, it will all even out.
For 17 years I helped an old lady live in her home so she could die in it so don't you tell me I didn't do my service to society, you fucking piece of shit cocksucker.
Get an old dog if you don't want to help people, you piece of shit.
Once again I will remind that you wouldn't have made a pimple on Helen's ass.....
You never do anything for anyone selflessly. She gave you a piece of land and a house to live in, and you just cashed in on that, didn't you?
And even when you do the smallest task for anyone, you come here and crow about it endlessly.
Look, you washed up cocksucker, yes, she gave me a piece of property with an old building on it but I would have helped her even if she didn't. I got six thousand bucks for the property, that figures out to 352 bucks a year for 17 years and I spent more than that helping her.
Boy, did I cash out on her, you know it all washed up cocksucker. Fuck you, I wouldn't have helped you for 30 grand a year, you washed up cocksucker.....
In my world Leslie will always be a stupid cunt that thinks others just do for others for their own gain.
Everyone here knows about all the people I have helped over the years but some fucking cunt that has never been here thinks she knows all about me, go figure.
six thousand! i would have given you $7450. i think the gypsies robbed you.
"Everyone here knows about all the people I have helped over the years..."
See?
...... cunt.... Pretty sure no one will say that about you....
"$352 bucks a year for 17 years" plus all the money you DIDN'T have to spend on rent or a mortgage, asshole.
You love to brag about being off the grid and having a low overhead, but look how you got to that point.
Well, stupid, pretty sure I'll keep getting along just fine even without what you call a free property.
