The head perv had just gotten home.

That explains it.
And the perv chorus (to borrow an allusion from Lystie)
wasn't around either, I guess.

They don't match the pervosity
of the master anyway.

Not even close, no.



Oh, and by the way Porkio, you make a fine point. Of course, I was just trying to get free landscaping.

I know a few guys who'd be willing to trim your bush.

Hey, I'd be happy to help you get plants going . . . provided you pay for em! :)

A friend of mine with high-elevation property in NM offered to grow Artemisias out there. They should do just fine on rainfall!

Mmmm, organic wormwood . . . >drool<

Any one know what regions those herbs were traditionaly imported from and why?
Can you grow A.A. next to A.P. without cross breeding taking place?

AA and AP are both perennials, not sure why you'd want them to set seed anyway?

AA = EuroFuckyLand and temperate parts of Asia. Propagate by division every 3 years. Woody perennial.

AP = SE and central EuroFuckyLand. Spreads by underground rhizomes. Evergreen shrub/woody perennial.

Anyone ever tried A. abrotanum? "Southernwood" or "old man" are the common names. Lemon-scented foliage. Could be interesting. or weird.

Isn't that what they use in Absente?

"Old man" wormwood? Who'd want Absinthe that tastes like the Mayor?

Yep, that's what they use.

I was just reading about that here:

http://www-ang.kfunigraz.ac.at/~katzer/eng...l?Arte_abr.html

This guy seems to think that Southernwood was used instead of AA.

Nice site . Beautiful really. Except for the 50 ppm T level statement, but you expect that.

Has anyone grown coriander near fennel?

Florence fennel . . .

There are two with that common name, dagnabbit.

Foeniculum dulce and Foeniculum vulgare azoricum.

Which is which?!

azoricum.

Thanx :)

No problem... just don't try and kiss me again.

Actually it was funny. I was suddenly in the shoes of millions of women who're almost caught by the "Quick swoop for the lips" technique.

SPAZ-ASS you're a PITA drunk, but a great sober fella.

He wasn't a PI my A. You? Maybe a different story.

I tried to kiss Dinky?!

Time for a self- !

Musta been the mutton chops. Those get me riled. Especially after the 35th glass.

Maybe it was just the 35 glasses.

There are more than two. Try more like 30 plus.
Each one has some different characteristics.
Most are bred for the bulb shape and flavor.
Some are bred for oil production.
There are many kinds of oils found in fennel.
Each of the different cultivars produce the oils in different ratio.
Some oils are really nasty tasting.

got that far, did he?

I just hope I used lube. For Dinky's sake.

It seems like the ones that are bred for the best bulb production coincidentally have the correct concentration of oils you would want. Googling a few of those oils names will tell you everything you need to know. Unfortunately, tracking down all but a few of those varieties isn't as easy. The drought in Italy last year certainly didn't help matters...

Now you tell me. My sister and her husband just came back from Italy on a 4 year deployment. Should have had her buy me lots of herbs n xit. Too late now.

I just wanna few good seeds . . .

Then take one for the prostate.

I could part with a few. I can't tell you their name though.

As long as they're not Mayor seeds, Kirk :)

Good fennel is good fennel. Don't know that I'd be able to grow enough to sell seeds (and cover the costs involved in the growing, that is), but I like getting experience with the plants.

Right now, my little herb garden is in pots outside the front door . . . I'm just working on getting a sense of the plants now. Introducing myself to them, to to speak.

Hello, AA. G'morning, AA Powis Castle. Howdy, hyssop (I'm STILL looking for that. Lowe's didn't have it, even in seed form!). Looking rather seedy, Melissa.

Etc.

My guest house will be vacant again come June. I'm seriously considering taking it for personal use and using its yard (about 40 x 30) as an herb garden. I could grow quite a few herbs in that space!

You need to go to a real Nursery...not Lowes.

Last week, I went to a local Nursery and they had Flo Fennel plants, Hyssop, Lemon Balm, AA, etc. If the Nursery doesn't have something, they'll usually special order it for you.

I went to the Real Nursery first. Mesquite Valley Growers. HUGE operation.

That's where I got AA, AAPowCas, tarragon, etc.

The only Hyssop they had was a couple of Agastaches (ornamentals), not H. officinalis.

Only fennel was bronze.

No pontica.

Kirk had recommended Lowe's for seeds. They DID have AA PoCa there, in TWO sizes! I guess it's popular out here.

(Yes, it keeps getting shorter. Soon, it'll be AAPC. Not to be confused with AARP.)

Skip the AAPC. It's worthless.

It's purty, tho, and has a fairly mild flavor. Not as harsh as AA, and Gimpy thinks it might be what FGuy uses to produce a "t-jone free" beverage.

Is that what makes it taste like ass?

I've no idea, I haven't had FGuy.

Bring Mrs. Jack, we can do a side by side tasting of FGuy and ass.

I'd have thought for sure that you'd have tried it. You'll try any Guy that tastes like ass.

Except da Mayor.

...and Sponge Bob.

That Guy is one of my favorites,
I don't think he tastes like ass.

I'm with Jack. The Guy tastes like ass.
SPAZ-ASS, you can try some in eight days.

There is no arguing with taste.

I met a guy who prefered F. Guy to Bama Pontarlier.

Edit: Guy tastes like ass.

People's tastes do vary...if that weren't the case, What's his fuck would never get laid.

I met a guy who had the option of drinking BaMa, yet he chose to pour a glass of ET #1 instead...

Does his screen name begin with "S" and end in "R?"

muh throat is burning just thinking about that...

Hey, it sinkworthied. And, then I had another BaMa, so it is all good.

I had to try it... At least now I have an idea about what empyreuma(sp) and tails taste like.

Like ET #1?

ET, phone emergency room?

So wait . . . do tails taste like ass?

You tell us.

Well, Dinky, I can tell ya what doesn't taste like ass. CRAPSINTHE™!!!

Why, that's even in the CRAPSINTHE™ FAQ! It says, "No, CRAPSINTHE™ does NOT taste like ass!"

Of course, there are herbs in CRAPSINTHE™. That makes this post ON-TOPIC.
