If you could be a plant which one would you be?

You got a new arm, Kass? All the better to garden with!

Do you have 3 now?

You can get so much more gardening done with 3!

Hmmm, we got me thinking. If you had a third arm, where would you want it?

Attached to my third shoulder, of course.

I would want it in a position to scratch my back with!

Good idea Sue! Or closer to the ground for weeding!

LOL.... yeah, I wish it was 3 arms!!!!! but yeah, location is a challenge...

amazing what a little exercise can do...

I think I'd be a cactus. I'd have bright, beautiful flowers. I could tolerate the cold, take a lot of heat, not particularly needy, I'd hurt those that treated me badly. Only those that KNOW how to handle me would reap my rewards, nobody would try to eat me, and I'd have lots of pups.

If you were a prickly-pear cactus, you could offer your fruit as well.

You leave her fruit alone!

makes good ice cream.
(well, almost anything good makes good ice cream.)

I'm still trying to figure out what the rewards are.

The flowers are the rewards, silly!! I think cacti have some of the most beautiful flowers.

Even snow makes good ice cream! I haven't made that in years - maybe next storm!

eek.
i remember eating snow as a child, but i don't think i'd dare to now!

Amy, have you ever had snow ice cream? It's just ice cream, milk, vanilla, and sugar.

i have a shaved ice maker - does that count?
but it isn't as good as the real thing, rarely seen in these parts, even in the summer.

We have several places that make homemade ice cream!
Giffords Ice Cream, Smiley's ice Cream, John's Famous Homemade Ice Cream....ect. Need come to Maine and try homemade blueberry ice cream!

I'm there!!

Me too!

All are extremely smooth and creamy!

mmm... around here it's Wentworth's year round and Sweet Claude's in the warmer months...

in NYC in the village there is a place called Mary's Dairy (http://www.marysdairynyc.com/menu.html)that makes some of the best ice cream i have ever had - but it costs crazymuch. Otto's (Mario Batali's place at the bottom of 5th avenue) is a great italian place/wine bar that makes really interesting types of seasonal gelato. Sweet corn was one of the best i've had. They always have olive oil, but i don't love it. i think i've seen rosemary and some other herbs, and some floral ones too.

My favorite ice cream flavor is Grape Nuts, which I've only found at a dairy farm stand - Crescent Ridge in Sharon, MA. A little too far away for me to frequent.

Lemon merange for me!

When we went to the Lobster Fest we had blueberry everything. My favorite was the fudge. there was a stand there that had 100 different flavors of fudge, and they were good! We ate lobster, fudge, and saw Don Rickles.

In that order?

Yes, along with many others goodies in between. Thank goodness for iron stomachs,

Sue, I was just in Sharon MA. I'll have to ask my friend about Crescent Ridge.

Amy, the dairy barn at UConn has great ice cream. I don't think their supermaket brand is as good though.

Just to change the subjuect. Since I have a GH, I said lets get some orchid seeds. So on ebay and here and there, the seeds are cheap. After reading about orchids, I almost wanted to puke, I scratched that idea.

No wonder why orchids are so expensive.

I'm way late on this thread (I know, I know...nothing different there). Anyway, I'd love to be a pink muhly grass, waving gracefully in the warm breeze. I always wanted to be thin and graceful and have a long neck LOL and I love pink

Jan, great response. Good to "see" you.

Hi Jan, nice to see you popping in! How did I know that what ever plant you picked it would be pink or purple? LOL

Jan, if I ever come to New York, I'll be sure to "wave" back!

I'd want to be a dandelion. Then I could star in a garden remake of the Wizard Of Oz, reproduce prolifically, and have some A-hole landscaper cut me off at the knees. Maybe I'd end up in a
nice warm composter for the winter and winter-sow myself next to some other shapely common weed, like a thistle or a queen
anne's lace. Hot!!!

hahahahaha

Is an A-hole landscaper like an A-list actor?

By the way, drzz, now that you're all settled in with us, do you have a first name you'd like to share? No problem if you don't.

maybe its a landscaper who lives in that MA town Carrie (ithink) was telling us about - athol.

Probably the landscaper in Menasha

And there probably is only one.
