I started by Bedstuy garden in 1996 with plants from Springhill and transplants from my mother’s Bronx garden. 95% of the plants are still alive and kicking. I ordered “premium” plants from Wayside Gardens and 50% of them did not make it. My shasta daisy came from my Mom’s garden. She originally got it from Springhill way back when. I took a division from it is the mid 80’s to plant in my garden at the apartment I rented. From that division, I took another for my garden in Bed-Stuy in 1995.
Nouriel Roubini said there could be close to $100 billion of municipal-bond defaults over the next five years as state and local government blah, blah, blah.
He was right once(like most economists) and now he won’t shut up.
Proves that he hasn’t much clue about how muni market works.
so i learned something new last night, about myself and my dog :-/ anyway, outside walking him and this woman came up to pet him and i got all nervous cuz freak out when people want to pet him. anyway he snapped at her and growled (he didnt bite her, just snarled and snapped and jumped) and she was like whoa, why did duke do that? i was like you know him? and she was like yeah he’s normally so sweet and playful when i see other people walking him. :-/
okay so is my dog being super over protective of me? or am i transmitting my own looney tune neurotic energy onto him? or a combo of both? is this even a fixable?
it’s a response to a comment by that idiotic lesbionic looking one from the sex in the city..
this poll: Actress Cynthia Nixon asks: School cuts for kids or tax cuts for millionaires? Which would YOU choose? …. as sad as it is to say, i’d choose tax cuts for millionaires as they actually employ people and create businesses. school kids do nothing but take take take! and as a childless person… eh, well you know…
my justification: public school systems are RAMPANT with wastes of taxpayer money (maybe it’s impossible to avoid tho?) and personally i think teachers should be paid MORE, but the shadiness involved about where the money goes is insane. …millionaires are generally, well, very good with their money! gay people shouldnt have to pay taxes that go to schools unless they actually have kids that use the public school system, but then i guess neither to straight people… would it be horrible to say that i think k-12 shouldn’t be free? maybe base it on a sliding scale based on income or something? it would also prevent a lot of extremely stupid people taking out thousands of dollars to go to college to study things that will get them no where in life. there’s a difference between dropping out in 11th grade and learning a trade in 11th grade versus being no academically smart in 11th grade but told you have to go to a college where it’s nothing but 13th – 16th grade.

Rob, Cynthia Nixon is 1) a Lesbian, and 2) the parent of a child (maybe more than one? not sure) who goes to public school.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the man that gave us The Pocket Book of Boners.
BSM…in 2007 I ordered a fig tree from them (unfortunately they no longer carry them) and now it’s 7′ tall. Last year I had about 25 luscious figs.
I got the hosta collection and the astilbe collection for the shade.
This year I’m ordering a butterfly bush, some daisys and some groundcover.
I got my bleeding heart from springhill about 14 years ago and it is still doing well.
my rant on facebook last night about teachers…

Yes, let’s talk more about gardening before some political discussion starts and all the Bleeding Hearts show up.
