Title: I talk to the trees but they don't listen to me...... a sad song for growers?
Post by: Jim McKenney on December 15, 2008, 01:06:41 PM
Guys this is the most fascinating debate I have one question and one request.

Question:- when you have come to a conclusion who will tell the plants?

Request:- can you then have a similar debate on the described bulbs, corms and tubers?



Well, Ian, King Solomon and Dr. Dolittle were said to be able to talk to the animals. I've know plenty of people who talk to their plants, but are the plants listening?

Don't count on me to do this: I'm having enough trouble communicating with some other people.  ::)

Ah, no, a seminal discussion; obviously this group, whatwith seeds of corn, wheat and cereals in general, is not monocarpic!

I don't know about the rest of you, but I can barley understand some of the replies in this thread. I guess I'd better save them on a seedy or DVD and figure them out later.

It think it was a song by the Goons the lines of which went "I talk to the trees that's why they put me away"

Guys, can we please leaf this conversation right here.  Obviously with the move, someone twigged to it's humorous content and branched it off to this one.  ::)

I was going to leave an oat on this thread, but you tree fellas, and Maggi seemed to be doing well without me. ;D
