Re: Hippie or redneck

I'm a little bit of both (don't drink the tea in the BLUE MASON JAR. I'm SERIOUS), as I like all natural remedies (clove oil is good for you) but I'm also redneck enough to really enjoy Nascar (for the crashes).

But mostly, I'm Artistic. Soooooo. Yeah.

This is the one with the white lid and rubber seal I keep the Oleander in. It's the only one I got since I managed to get it back from whomever took it from Anna's house. Found it at Rocky Horror with my rice in it, recollect? Had this one back in NC.

And double wide? Been there done that! Now we got a "single wide" that still has the wheels on it!

5 rows of Kennebeks 110 feet long, 1/2 a row of red tators....
We did our Kennebecs in 55 gallon food grade plastic drums for several years. No digging in the hard clay. Yield was 50 lbs. per barrel.


Planted my taters in two orange 5 gallon buckets (impressed with Recycle code #2 means they are High density polyethylene (HDPE) - used for milk, water, and juice bottles, yogurt and margarine tubs, cereal box liners, and grocery, trash, and retail bags.
Food safe and not known to leach any chemicals that are suspected of causing cancer or disrupting hormones) this year.... Yukon Gold and Russet... growing like weeds, need to add a layer of dirt to them already. I got a few more Yukon Gold seed taters in the refrigerator. I'm hoping I can hold them until I harvest the first bucket. This is a test. Both the buckets and the refrigerated seed taters. Alternative is to hold out one tater from the buckets to start another bucket. I used an "ebucket" this time. Mostly because I've never tried this in a 5 gallon bucket and I don't have a way to keep the buckets up off the ground. Apparently lots of folks have done taters in buckets. I took picks of making the ebucket and planting the taters. This weekend I need to take pics of the current growth & adding a layer of soil to the buckets. I'm wondering if the orange buckets will attract more masons bees/butterflies to the plants. I know the bees (mason & honey) were very attracted to the yellow and red of the food cart. I'm working on setting up a portable garden. The wind has taken a heavy toll on my strawberry plants. The cooler nights haven't helped either. I need to build 4 more ebuckets for the Brussels Sprouts. I would like to add a couple table grapes (1 red, 1 green). The food cart is now my green house and will also hold the "garden" when we leave here.

Re: Hippie or redneck

*Sigh* I miss the green. Only way to get green 'round here is to go sit on Campus, and while the Campus Fuzz don't mind me there, the students get annoying.

I see Pine, that looks like a Hickory, what looks like a Silver Maple, and a whole lotta GRASS. I kinda miss grass. I should plant some in a planter and have a tiny 'lawn'.

Re: Hippie or redneck

Probably a little bit of all. Could be what Hoosier means, although no one really seems to know. I prefer to do it my way, when I want. As far away from "them" as I can get.

Indiana adopted the nickname "Hoosier State" more than 150 years ago.[1] "Hoosiers" is also the nickname for the Indiana University athletic teams. Hoosier is sometimes used in the names of Indiana-based businesses and organizations. In the Indiana High School Athletic Association, seven active athletic conferences and one disbanded conference have the word Hoosier in their name.[citation needed]

In other parts of the country, the word has been adapted to other uses. In St. Louis, Missouri, the word is used in a derogatory fashion similar to "hick" or "white trash".[2] "Hoosier" also refers to the cotton-stowers, both black and white, who move cotton bales from docks to the holds of ships, forcing the bales in tightly by means of jackscrews. A low-status job, it nevertheless is referred to in various sea shanty lyrics. Shanties from the Seven Seas[3] includes lyrics that mention hoosiers. Hoosier at times can also be used as a verb meaning to trick or swindle someone.

Re: Hippie or redneck

Hey bansil, these are some new ones. I've been hearing all kinds of things all my life. Since this is now on the web it must be the final answer. I can now go to my grave with the correct info.

Re: Hippie or redneck

Reading through this is funny. I am for sure redneck (of the tech savvy variety), but also part hippy. I am disliking more and more being tied down to an area. I like the idea of being able to simply disconnect and roll out. We don't currently fulltime, as I am still finishing my bus, but there will be seasons where we do. I have one child left in public school, and next year she too will be homeschooled. I even have a job I can do remotely, just need internet. The bus actually came into being because we moved to Mexico for 6 months and my truck (1985 F250 with a built 460, lol) spun a bearing on the way there. As of right now, our current plan is to "roll out" next June and head to Redding, CA. Pretty much all I think about. I am sitting up in cubicleville as I write this and have had my fill. This isn't how I want to spend my life.

Jake

What draws you to Redding, California?

I lived in California for many years in many different cities. I am not going back.

I am going to Tennessee. It is nice there.

Re: Hippie or redneck

Actually, a church/school, Bethel. My wife and I would like to go to a school they have there to further prepare us for missions, our eventual goal I also LOVE the area. I know it's a ways away, but I work in Lodi a lot and love it. Don't have much time for Socal, but I like most of Northern California. The Shasta area is a pretty perfect picture of what my wife and I love.

Where in TN? I also work just south of Nashville a lot.
