I will make it a 5th post about nothing then but as for a sub plot,as she crossed the road,the noise made her turn, to her horror it was ................
Bye for now julian
"The beet is the most intense of vegetables. The radish, admittedly, is more feverish, but the fire of the radish is a cold fire, the fire of discontent and not of passion. Tomatoes are lusty enough, yet there runs through tomatoes an undercurrent of frivolity. Beets are deadly serious." Tom Robbins
So here I go and make a post originally asking for humidity solutions for under $10.. then in a stroke of absolute genius (yes... that is sacrasim....) I remember that the humidity dropped around the same time I moved the plant..... and upon further investigation realized I didn't put the water tray back under it.... *whistles innocently* (Yes, that would explain why the poor sad little nep was actually looking sadder instead of happier! *eyeroll*)... So having realized that I have just asked a question resulting from no small amount of flakishness on my part.. I edit it cause I can't delete it myself and head to bed fully expecting that by morning the thread will be gone and what do I find instead?
PAGE 2!
The questions raised by this phenomenon will most likely keep me awake at night for many years to come.. however, don't let me derail the conversation regarding nothing in particular with a little beet shrinkage thrown in for good measure.
Hold on... I can contribute one more anecdote about beets. If anyone is old enough to have at least watched reruns of Gilligans Island, there was one episode where Gilligan finds a crate of experimental, radioactive seeds. Nobody noticed the sign. They planted the seeds and when ate their crop in due season, they had exaggerated effects. Ginger ate carrots and could see for miles and Mrs. Howell ate the beets. She had all kinds of energy.
I am not real sure about beets but I do know you can't get blood out of a turnip, which makes sense cause beets are closer to the color of blood. So does that mean that you CAN get blood out of a beet and just not turnips and where does that leave the tomatoes?
