THE TV UNDERGROUND-- THANKFULLY BECAUSE OF TV, I DON'T HAVE TO TRAVEL TO SEE THESE BUT...ON THE SCIENCE CHANNEL SHOWS 2 THAT BLEW MY DOORS LAST NIGHT..
I NEVER KNEW...... ABOUT DA VINCHI'S LAST SUPPER CARVED IN THE SALT MINES OF ?POLAND?ALONG WITH CHANDELIERS AND INNOVATIVE THINGS TO DEAL WITH METHANE GAS IN TH E 1400'S
BUT.... NEARER AND DEARER TO MY HEART IS THE FOOD PRODUCTION NOW UTILIZING THE BOMBING SHELTERS OF LONDON VERY INTERESTING TOUR GIVEN BY A GUY IN WHAT LOOKED LIKE OPERATING ROOM SCRUBS( AND HAIRNET) WANDERING PAST TRAYS LABELED "PARSLEY".. EXPLAINING NOT ONLY WAS IT POSSIBLE, BUT IT ELIMINATED ALL THE TRUCKING NECESSARY TO GET THE STUFF ( NOT ONLY PARSLEY) TO THE PEOPLE OF LONDON, IT WAS GROWN ONLY ONE MILE FROM THE MARKETS- AND THAT WAS ONE MILE "UP" THE ELEVATORS./ ALL KINDS OF LETUCE, SPROUTS, AND LITTLE THINGS... I SAW NO "FIELDS OF CORN" BUT THERE WAS ALOT OF GREEN STUFF... WHICH MAKES ME REMEMBER.........
TO INCREASE YOUR USELESS INFORMATION....... I ONCE TRIED TO RAISE GRASS---- no -----all you evil thinking people--- i mean grass as in lawn type grass--IN AN OLD REFRIGERATOR-- MUST HAVE BEEN BACK IN THE 1970'S - I HAD THE IDEA- BUT NONE OF THE KNOWLEDGE NECESSARY TO PULL IT OFF RIGHT AND ENDED UP WITH A SLIMEY MESS OF GRASS SEED, CHLOROX AND ALOT OF FRIENDS WHO THOUGHT I WAS NUTS.
WHY? LET ME TRY----- RACE HORSES ALL GET ONE YEAR OLDER STATISTICALLY ON JAN FIRST.- I DON'T LIKE RACING HORSES... GAMBLERS WILL BET ON ANYTHING - WHY NOIT RACE COCKROACHES?- WELL ANYWAY- MY HUSBAND WAS A "TRACKER" AND HE THOUGHT THE ULTIMATE JOY WAS TO OWN A RACE HORSE- SO HE BOUGHT A THOROBRED FEMALE ONE "BEING RETIRED" ( TOO SLOW) THIS WAS LONG BEFORE JANINE FOUND OUT YOU CAN EASILY OWN HUNDREDS OF THOROBRED RACE HORSES BY OUTBIDDING THE MEAT PACKERS. ( THOROBREDS ARE THE "BREED" -- NOT THE RESULT OF GUARENTEED PEDIGREES.)
HE BOUTGHT A BAY MARE WITH INTENTION OF BREEDING HER TO ANOTHER "RETIRED RACE HORSE" I.E.... SLOW... THAT A FRIEND OWNED...
NOW TEH GESTATION OF HORSES IS ABOUT 11 MONTHS SO IF YOU CAN MANAGE TO GET A MARE PREGANANT IN LATE JAN UARY OR FEB YOU WIL BE RACING A "COLT" WHICH WILL BE 6 MONTHS OLDER THAN THE ONE IN TH RACE BORN IN JUNE.. MOMMY NATURE HAD IT ALL PLANNED SO THAT FOALS SHOULD BE BORN WHEN THE PRARIES WERE FULL OF GRASS AND LIVING IS EASIER... AND TEH WAY THAT IS ORGANIZED... IS THAT A BELLY FULL OF NICE GREEN GRASS WITLL TRIGGER THE HEAT CYCLE OF THE MARE-- HOPING THAT IT WILL TAKE A WILD STALLION A MONTH TO INVITE HER TO DINNER SO TEH FOALS CAN BE BORN TEH CORRECT SEASON.. THIS MAY BE AN OLD WIVES TALE... BUT MOMMY NATURE IS KNOWN FOR A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF CORRECT TALES. ALL IS ORGANIZED.....
EXCEPT WHEN YOU WANT TO RACE THOROBREDS. THE BIG FARMS WITH ALL KINDS OF MONEY AND ARE LOACTED FURTHER SOUTH THAN I WAS IN MASSACHUSETTS HIRE VETS WITH NEEDLES AND HORMONES ETC.
I HAD TO TRY WITH GRASS...
SO I GOT AN OLD REFRIGERATOR- I FIGURED INSULATED WALLS-- AND STARTED IN WITH
A 100 WATT LIGHT BULBS-- SOME SEED AND WATER-- IT ONLY TOOK 2 WEEKS FOR THAT SEED TO SPROUT TINY LITTLE "SEEDLINGS" ABOUT 1 INCH TALL-- IT WAS TEH THIRD WEEK THAT THE WHOLE OPERATION BEGAN TO STINK- SO I ADDED A FEW DROPS OF CHOLORX TO THE EWATER WITH HOPES- ----BEFOLRE LONG I WAS ADDING CUPS OF BLEACH TO THREADS OF GRASS THAT WERE AT LEAST 2 INCHES LONG. EVEN MY CHILDREN WERE COMPLAINING. I HAD TO GIVE UP. IT WAS BAD...
TEH ONLY PEOPLE WHO SAW TEH GREAT POTENTIAL OF INDOOR GROWING WERE THE COLLEGE CROWD TRYING TO GROW "POT"
ACTUALLY THAT STORY CONTINUES --- MY OLDEST---GWEN-- AND HUSBAND RON EVENTUALLY BOUGHT A HOUSE WHICH WAS ON TEH MARKET CHEAP AND FAST BECAUSE THE OEWNER NEEDED LAWYER FUNDS- HELICOPTERS WITH HEAT SEEKING EQUIPMENT HAD APPARENTLY FOUND OUT THE OWNER WAS SELLING NOT ONLY LOBSTERS ... CLEVER RON-- WHO HELPED BUILD OUR GUEST HOUSE- MADE SOME RENOVATIONS AND IT WAS A LOVELY RESIDENCE... WITH AN GREEN HOUSE IN THE CELLAR.
FAST FORWARD TO SDP BUYING THE SHIPPING CONTAINER TO STORE PURINA DOG FOOD-- AND AGAIN TEH INDOOR GROWING OF GREEN STUFF CROSSED MY MINDE--- WHIN I WAS TOLD.. IT IS ALMOST PROFITABLE TO GROW BOSTON'S LETUCE THAT WAY-- AND TEHRE WERE SOME PEOPLE "ON" THAT PROJECT.
TEH EVIDENCE OF THOUSANDS OF TRAYS OF PARSLEY IN THE UNDERGOUND IN LONDON MEANS SOMEONE HAS FIGURED HOW TO DO IT.
ONE OTHER LETUCE RUMOR-- THERE IS A TRAIN FROM CALIFORNIA "DAILY" CARRYING LETUCE TOTHE EAST COAST.
OH... I GOTTO REPEAT THIS ONE--- THERE EXISTS A VERY BRIGHT "DEAN" TYOE FRIEND WITH WHOM I HAVE HAD DISCUSSIONS AOBUT ONE OF THE PROBLEMS OF TEH WORLD IS THAT MUCH OF OUR FOOD IS PRODUCED WEST OF THE ROCKIES I.E.. THE PACIFIC OCEAN AREA AND CHEWED AND DUMPED IN THE ATLANTIC.
AND YOU THOUGHT IT WAS CLIMATE CHANGE.
