Is there some deep philosophical explanation for why phenol is the most important ingredient in both picric acid and in sulfonamide? Is it that with great ingredients comes great responsibility?

And then when she says they're all free range and have no fences, you ask how they're not getting eaten by coyotes.
Coyotes are hacking into your farm right as we speak and programming a way to eat your chickens!!!

Confused at how much was a dream, you check around the house and are reassured that the seeds do indeed exist, but disappointed you still don't know what they are...

Cause you're not gonna waste perfectly good oil especially in the winter when your hands are dry as f***.

I spent quite a bit of the night trying to chase down anyone in that store who might know what variety those were, I have never had anything like them, and I want to grow them!!
Dream beans: about 6 inches long, beans were round, pods were sweet and perfect for eating raw. Flavor was good in both the bean and pod, high brix, not dry or tough. My visual of them is the difference between a basic garden pea and sugar pod peas. These were like sugar pod beans....
If anyone knows that they exist, I'd love to know!
You know you are permie when you spend half the night trying to find out the name of a variety of green bean so you can grow them! :D
Argue for your limitations and they are yours forever.

You might be a permie if after smelling it you actually put a little in your mouth to see if the soil is sweet or acidic...

I was going out to do some fall planting, I was hurting bad, so I put on double knee braces and a back brace. it hurts to wear them, but hurts more not to. It was chilly, so I put on long undies and warm mud boots. I needed the right mix of pockets in my pants, the jeans that had that were filthy, I put them on anyway, since I was going to crawl in mud. It's hunting season here, and although it wasn't rifle legal that day it was bow legal, so I put on some screaming orange. Which puts me in:
Something painful,
Something warm,
Something grubby,
Something orange.

Never enough leaves.
Never.
Need to go check that yard tomorrow.
