Funny things overheard in the past week...

Senior center gardener "We use Miracle Grow, but garden organically."

Biosolids advocate- "Puritan values and misinformation are the reasons people are not using biosolids to grow food."

Me- "Just like you can't depend on someone else to pay your bills, neither should you depend one someone else to feed you."

High school kids walking through garden- "Why can't we take our shirts off and get a tan?."

Gardener-"Well these peas came from over there, I thought they were stragglers from last year."

Gardener- "Well nobody here to bother me, just come down and work at my own pace and enjoy the day."

Anonymous- "Maybe my digestive problems stem from eating half rotten food from all the free boxes behind New Seasons."

My father- "The raised bed has water standing in it. Knew I should have listened to my gut and put it on the other side of the driveway instead of listening the your mother. Live and learn I guess."

Camping neighbors- "How do you close the bottle (of wine) after knocking the cork down into the bottle."

Kids swimming in Metolious River- " The water's warmer about 15 feet closer the bridge. Let's move up there"

My girlfriend- "That's so hardcore"
Man hiking up Black Butte with a backpack full of toddler replies- "Thank you"

Grandmother- "Beans are up, okras up, squash are up, tomatos are up, radishes are up, beets are up, lettuce is up. Now what's the name of that stuff you planted in here last fall because it's coming up too."
