Rock Garden Tour 80: Roses Dipped In Lard

This week's Rock Garden Tour features an original tune by friend of the rock garden, Elsa Vande Vegte, and a tip encouraging rock gardeners to plant roses in a bed of lard. It might be easier if you just listen to the podcast.

This is not about roses in lard. This is about cucumbers.

I saw in today's grocery store sale flier, super select desert grown cucumbers 3 for $2 (as in $.67 for two and $.66 for the third).

Desert grown cucumbers? That's silly.

Especially knowing that cucumber harvest is just around the corner. And, where I live, we have a hydroponic, pesticide-free tomato/cucumber/basil greenhouse. So, who needs that silly desert grown cucumber?

Let’s be clear, the technical difficulties during the previous show were not necessarily the direct fault of the sound effects coordinator, Oil Can. The obvious answer would be to blame the tech crew leader, Badger. And Oil Can is fine with that.
Moving on, turns out our sound effects corporate sponsor, hula, has an intern who farms near Frederick. The entire operation is 100% organic and has been since 1956. Which begs the age-old questions, “What’s organic” and “How did Wild Bill pass a disposable razor blade?”

Answer to the latter question: Very carefully.
