I've grown 2 seasons and have learned so much, you must have so much growing knowledge inside of you after growing for 40 years!

What's the most valuable thing about growing that you know that you can share with me?

Funny, I will be 64 day after tomorrow. Never thought I would live to actually realize how it feels to listen to the Beatles "when I'm 64" and actually be there. 45 years smoking for me. How did all this happen right before my eyes?

Funny, I've now outlived all my grandparents and next year I'll pass my father. Presumably.
BTW 65 is when it stops going "sprong" But a little "better living through chemistry" fixes that.

......Around here we're afraid to ask that question. We might not like the answers.

Yeah, I have two friends dealing with the Government, Mo from here
and another from Myco-Tek.

...and then people pass on as well.

All in due time! :0)

59 here. Started smoking in '67 listening to The Doors, Love...etc. Lids were $10! Who else remembers removing the seeds using an album cover?

Remember the "marygin" used for cleaning?

Never used the marygin. Album cover or cake pan and the flap end of the rolling paper pack. Remember all those flavored papers? Perfect companion to Boone's Farm.

Fifty years ago you had to have access to a black person to buy pot. I made my first connect with an old black guy sitting in front of a liquor store in 1964. By the early 1970's the Mexican gangbangers were controlling the trade and you had to deal with them for any kind of quantity. The original bangers didn't recognize pounds and sold by the brick. Bricks were 35+ ounces and sold for $100-150 in SoCal.

Just a little history from someone who has been doing this a long time. BigSteve.

65, medicare recipient, and just found out I have prostate cancer. Will do radiation for that and just have to deal with it. Still active with many hobbies and doing 2 kinds of niche farming.

Have grown just about everything "under the sun" during my 49 years of gardening.

A lid (oz) of great Mex sold for $10 in 1968, used to get 'acid grass' from Houston. Pound sold for $125.

Over the hill and coasting to the finish,

Good luck on the Big C.
My 60 y/o brother just successfully got through colon C with traditional treatments, surgery & an oil regime.
Again, I wish you the best.

Thanks. Get a CT scan result back Wednesday to see if anything has spread. That's what has me worried.

Your brother is lucky, that colon cancer is NASTY. Had a friend die of it at age 21 and an Uncle die of it. I hope a cure for cancer comes soon. Novartis and a partner has developed a product for prostate cancer that looks very promising. Good stock investments too as soon as we get a correction. http://investors.tokaipharma.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=252857&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=1968837&highlight=

Damn UB, sorry to hear that, wish you the best in your fight. Been though it once with Lymphoma, can't get rid of it but it can be managed. Stay focused on yourself and your health, remove all stress factors, best of luck to you. Your garden will be a great comfort and tool in fighting this shit.

Best wishes and good vibes your way UB. Fight the bastard.

55 and flopp'in still.

Best from me too UB.

64, Good luck, UB.
