Jaye, Palmbob should be able to ID your plant. That is his forte and I doubt there are any he doesn't know.
Feels cold here tonight although it is only in the 40's. After a week in Maui, this is freezing.
Beautiful picture Christi, I am so jealous.
Hey Don, I'll cook that sucker for ya. No problem, do you want it roasted, grilled, smoked or bar-b-qued.
Notice she said she'd cook it, but didn't say nuttin bout eatin it! LOL
I'll eat it too. I'll kill it, cook it, I just won't clean it. Hey he's got to do some work.
Taste like chicken ;P
That is Heavenly Christi! A perfect serenity poster.
Thanks Christi, Palmbob, eh?
Yes Don and Robyn, it is an Agave. It might be the Blue Agave, cause the leaves sometimes bear a blue tint. Can't dig out the pups yet, rained too much, but he will heed your warning Robin.
Don't want anyone to be jealous. Want you to make plans to go yourselves. Let some of those trips to Wallyworld or the mall just to kill time go by the wayside, put the money in a box for Maui. Leave off those soft drinks and Starbucks, it all adds up you know. A week there is worth a month of most other places. Nothing to compare it to.
Good advice there Christi. Also, do your travelling before you're wheelchair bound!!
I'd love to return to Hawai'i, this time for the flora n fauna. Of course it will also be better with Kel.
Robyn,fried,I love fried squirrel!!!
Tammy about the Hardy tropical forum,I talk about hardy tropicals on this forum and tropical forum,the reason is It's tropical plant,no matter where I try to grow it,here is where a a person can first learn about the plant which would also let them know where it can be grown and where it can't be grown.
I have very little time on Daves,for my work schedule and chores at home take up a lot of my free time,and I don't have a lot of time to surf the forums,like I'd like too!
I pic this forum,for I love all the kind people who visit here,and tropical gardening is what I do!
I'm not saying a cold hardy tropical forum,isn't a bad idea,in fact for people who are just interested in that only ,would save them a lot of time searching for the cold hardy tropical they might be interested in.
People here have become a family,sure we talk food a lot,but gardening is limited in the
winter time,and what we like best next to gardening is cooking and eating,and besides this is the only forum you can garden and eat at the same time!!!LOL
I'll fix ya fried squirrel, top it off with bread dressing or homemade noodles and fresh green beans with onion and bacon pieces.
Let me grab my coat and hat,be there just in time for breakfast!!!LOL
Sorry, breakfast will be ham, with red eye gravy and poached eggs.. You'll have to wait for dinner.
Please tell me what squirrel tastes like. I ate turtles, alligator tails, rabbits, deer meat, but never squirrels.
I think it tastes like rabbit, maybe a little gamier though.
No I think rabbit is gamier,squirrel to me fried is sweet tasting,haven't had any in years,always took my rifle when we went mushroom hunting in early spring,around a old apple orchard.I think the squirrels were fatten up on those apples and it might have fermented in there body!!!LOL
Well, the only 'wild' meat I eat is Turkey Breast, and I love it fried! YUMMMMMMMMMY
I never cared much for squirrel, and we raised rabbits, which made it hard for me to eat them. I used to eat deer meat till we raised a baby buck, then I just couldn't bring myself to do it.
Robin, what is Red Eye gravy?
Gravey made from the ham juices.
I'm one of those that was raise down home on the farm, we ate what we hunted or raised. After I grew up we didn't have it as much, it was store bought meat,no where near as good.
After I started working at Lodge of the Four Seasons here at the lake, I was able to taste new foods, their world renown chef liked to experiment in the kitchen and I was lucky enough to be a guinea pig so to speak.
The only thing I refused to eat was tripe. Was not going to eat anything that was stuffed inside a cows intestine.
Don there are mushrooms around here, but I wouldn't risk trying them. Have to look up on what's poisonous.
I hear the rain falling now.....
It's been a brain draining night. So nite, nite Sweet Ones. Be warm.
Thanks Don, for making us feel at home!
Oh Ok, thanks for clarifying that for me! :o)
I was raised that way as well, but maybe not quite as much. I lived off of PB&J! LOL
EWWWWWWWWWWWW I ain't eatin nuttin comin from inside a cows intestines!!!
Nite nite sweet Jaye! Hope you can rest your drained brain! :)
Yes, Don, we do appreciated being made to feel welcome here!!!! Guess that is why we are always hunting you down when you start a new thread! HA HA HA
My momma always said a little sugar goes a long way!!!!!LOL
Hey I enjoy you all as much as you enjoy me!!
If my sugar doesn't work,like Glen Campell said try a little kindness!!!!
Nite my little pretties!!!!LOL
Awe, now I feel speshul cause Don called me one of his pretties!!! :o)
Nite nite our Sweet TMan!!!!
Aloha Don,
We who live in the tropics have always enjoyed your incredible garden and are constantly amazed by the wonderful things you grow. Thank you for being a wonderful asset and an inspiration to us all.
Jen
Don, thank you and sleep well, I always enjoy talking with everyone here. I even learn a thing or two. You are such a dear man.
Night Jaye, sweet dreams dear.
Jen thank you for listening to all of us crazy people and putting up with us.
Sis, what can I say. Cow intestines ! HAR HAR HAR
I doubt I could even handle being around that YUCK while it is being cooked! EWWWWWWWWW spat spat! LOL
Oh ya, speak for yourself, Sis, I ain't crazy!!! LOL
Night, I'm off to bed 5:00 comes awfully early.
Sleep tight sis.
Night night, sleep tight, Sis!!! HUGS
LOL!
I think I'm blushing!!!LOL
Off to work!
Watch out Don, Patti will see you blushing and take advantage! :o) TEE HEE
Don, you are very encouraging for all of us. I don't yet have a greenhouse but am seriously contemplating for next year. Many of the beauties in Maui just won't survive our winters. It is really only about 3 months that it is necessary to cover most things here in my world. Only takes 1 hard freeze to kill everything.
LouC
Hey Don,
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have your input here:

Yes, it is an agave -- century plant. They don't really bloom only every hundred years, more like every 20 years. They do die after blooming.

I am amazed at all the people I meet who won't eat tripe. Do you ever eat Andouille sausage? Tripe. It is only made from the first 3 of the cows 4 stomache chambers, so is actually a "cleaner" organ than say liver for example (which will NEVER enter my kitchen!), and you guys are talking about squirrels and ground hogs for heaven's sake, yet get all twitterpated about tripe. I just don't get it. Ah well, our differences make us interesting...(but Menudo is one of the world's most wonderful soups....).
Mine stems from watching it get cleaned out, smelling it and then trying to watch it get stuffed again. No I don't eat Andouille either. Excuse me for getting twitterpated.
Well, I have CRS, so don't even remember what it is, and I have no clue what twitterpated is! LOL
Ok I am trying to work here ;*)..... what is twitterpated???/ lolol
YOU WORK??? HA HA HA Just kidding! :o)
