Our kids, when younger, said "toots" to mean "farts", so forgive me when I snicker, and by "snicker" I do not mean "poop", but now that I say it, double snicker.

Getting to the point in the project where cross-project modules are coming up. Not that they didn't come up before, but now it's Very Important Or Is It. The awkward teenage years.

@Clementulus Thus people around here pass around this gardening meme about pulling the plants to hang them in a garage - which certainly can work, a little overboard though!

@Clementulus Perhaps the fungus doesn't know which way's "up!" Yes, I've seen grow towers like this. I do pretty well avoiding fungus on in-ground tomatoes by using drip irrigation - but with in-ground comes the downside of not being able to move the plants when weather changes.

I suspect temperature in the garage matters a bit. Our garage isn't insulated, and aside from not dropping below 40F or so even if it's freezing outside, it's not a great ripening environment - 65-75F is better. A box of branches is more house-friendly.

The "hang your tomato plants upside down in the garage to ripen after the weather's turned cold" trick is a continuum of techniques rather than one way to do it.

- you don't need the whole plant (a branch is fine)
- you definitely don't need roots (sheesh)
- it doesn't need to hang, a box is fine (although circulation and keeping the tomatoes from resting on their base is probably a good idea.)

Oh remember that one that let you send only "yo"?

@hgreer Thanks, it does look better that way! (Although in finding some folks to follow, I must've seen 8 different looks for the same app as clicking through sites. Just remembered I forgot to mention MySpace. 😉)

Woof. Wooly mammoth site is rough. Remember, was it app.net, the Twitter clone with subscriptions and, apps? I'm still in another thing that sends me email every once in a while, Allo is it? What was that one with the pink-red icon, iOS only at first? The one with the bee where you checked into places? All not as rough as this.

Pasting what's on my mind (like it says in the directions)
