“The opera ain’t over till the fat lady sings.”—Dan Cook
The inspiration for this garden talk is aliens. Not the illegal kind flooding across our border. Don’t they know how many guns are here? That we’ve defunded the police at least twice. There is no fucking way I’d want to be an illegal squatter in the United States of guns. So far everyone seems to be keeping their cool.
Clif High wrote a good space alien article the other day and you have to wonder what happens to religion when the space aliens say they are the god in the Bible. We say, “BLASPHEMER,” and then they eat us. My comment: Once this goes mainstream what will we do with Israel Berlin’s song God Bless America?
Religion is discussed at time point 8:20. Correction on the 3.5 billion Christians. I believe it is closer to 2.5, but add in the other religions and we get the 3.5 billion.
Pasheen Stonebrooke also made an alien post. I mention this in my talk.
I also want to mention a Substack writer I follow. He’s a great writer with interesting stories and a nice break from the Covid hell. Check him out.
Let’s stroll through the garden and into the talk. Or start the talk then stroll through the garden.
JFK rose (white) and Marilyn Monroe rose come together for the first time. Baby’s breath is also grown in the garden. Fresh cut flowers are in vase’s and placed around the garden as well as inside the house. I should try and sell them out on the sidewalk.
Gate entrance to bird house bar, then into the garden. It was 90 degrees when I took this picture so I hosed everything down. It feels cooler when everything is wet.
Casper is losing his body. Will he make it through the grow season.
This box is completely full. Spacing violation perhaps. Oh yeah.
Absolute jungle now.
Willie girl is the tall plant on the right. She’s almost seven feet tall. “To the moon Alice.”—Ralph Kramden
You know you’re a redneck gardener when you use house trim molding to make a cucumber trellis. Hated it. It worked. Hated the look. Trashed it. Made a new one out of cedar. “It’s better to look good than feel good.”—Fernando Lamas
Chemtrails blasting the shit out of us lately. I wished they’d focus their spraying over the Governor’s garden. Is he human?
Garden mystery plant is shown cascading over the box in the front. This was growing in my compost at the beginning of the grow season.
I have three in the garden now.
Garden crow Django has officially moved his two babies into the garden. This is their safe zone and their place to group when an alert call goes out.
Peace everyone.

Great update, Mike! The garden is looking great!
Chemtrails are bad here in central IL, and I keep thinking about how we're all breathing that stuff they spray.......
