2. We dropped by the Farmers Market today,

Grow our own organic in a community garden during the summer. It's a great feeling...grow more food than we can eat. We give a lot away. Good for you guys! Get away from the big corporate stores!

5. Our CSA has been wonderful. We do the spring/summer and the winter.

It is an incredible amount of food for the price.

I'd be shocked if many DUmmies start growing their own food. That involves self sufficiency and work, 2 things DUMmies are allergic to and have a known aversion to.

He's just begging for attention.

The DUmmie girlfriend of a neighbor of mine doesn't bother to grow it.  She reaches down and picks it no matter where she is.  Weeds.  Flowers.  Grass.  Flowers right off the centerpiece or in a vase perched on a picnic table.  No matter.  She's quite the talk of the neighborhood.  Supposedly, she brought a weed salad to a neighborhood party that they witnessed her picking right there before she came inside.  Thankfully, I missed that one.

That's bullshit. I've known of two of those moonbat "community gardens".

In April and May, they have nice rows of little plants and sprouting plants.

By late June-early July, they are solid waist-high weeds.

Taking care of a garden is hard work.

democrats don't do hard work, especially hoodrat democrats in the hellholes where "community gardens" are most common.

The big guy's mourning the recent death of some long-ago minor television celebrity, in a thread not worth bringing over here.

The pictures are good, though.

And there's this, the big guy's autographed t-shirt, which is too small for him now:

Well, at least he's yammering about something he knows all too well......food.
