Thar be Maters Heere!
Went out to the garage to check on the Mater-Matic before going to bed, and lo and behold, I've got sprouts! Actually, the one showing up top was up this morning, but I wasn't quite sure if it was just a fleck of something or actually a baby mater, so I withheld comment until I was sure.
So even though I started a day after dear ole Dad, I've got babies a day after him. Hmm, that means I'm holding my own against all that Worm Pee (uh, I mean Worm Tea - doesn't sound much better does it?), and talk of Au Naturale lighting.
Go Garage Maters!
And I've got even more surprises up my sleeves for this race - stay tuned.
Mike
Well congratulations to you on your little sprout. I know the new Mater-Daddy must be excited. I wish them well. Especially now that they will be subjected to all those "Grow-Light" photons. I'm glad mine are basking in the All Natural light of Mother Nature. It's like her warm glow smiling upon my little champions.
ReplyDeleteAnd wait until I unleash the power of Nature's most powerful tomato food/fertilizer!! You'll be wishing you could have a cup of my "Tea." But, I guess you will be using that stuff that they make in some chemistry lab.
I was just thinking... With all that "Grow Light" and chemical stuff you are using, you just might be morphing those little guys into Franken-maters!
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought I over heard you singing in your garage last night. The tune went something like this.
I was working in the lab late last night..
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight..
For my maters in my lab began to rise...
And suddenly to my surprise.
I fed them mash...
I fed them mater-mash
The mater-mash..
It was a garage-lab smash
I fed them mash..
It went up in a flash
I fed them mash
I fed them mater-mash
Catchy tune! It kind sticks with you all day.
Ya know, I might have given you props for creativity with your Monster Mash rip-off, if it wasn't for you not having your facts straight, sir. Might I suggest you take a look at my earlier posts?
DeleteThere are only four things in my planters: seeds, water, powdered eggshells and composted cow manure. Nothing synthetic or cooked up in a lab - never had it, never will.
So I think the only one who was singing was you - and it was coming out of the same place the cow poop comes from.
Cheers!
Oh boy, that Mater Master guy is really dishing it out the poop. Must be all that time he's spending squeezing it out of his worms! (Us garage growers have to stick up for one another.) You mention that you're only one day behind Dad but maybe if you get an expensive zoom lens you can catch up! I have a feeling that "Objects in photos are smaller than they appear."
ReplyDeleteNo worms were injuried in the making of this smack!!!
DeleteSherrie,
DeleteI sure hope you know more about growing tomatoes than you do about using a telephoto lens. The telephoto lens would not be the right selection of lenses for this application. Fortuantely, I do have the right lens and I'm ging to use the heck out of it!!
Ok first things first. Dad what are you doing up at 4:29 AM?? Catchin squirrels... (on fire?)
ReplyDeleteMike we need a spot on the blogs for "Yo Mater Jokes". Here's the first entry:
"Mike yo maters so ugly that you have to keep them covered so cats won't burying them."
Actually Sher, if you look at the difference in between when you post and what time is shown, you'll realize that it's three hours behind ... which to the technologically-minded indicates that the server this blog is posted on is on the West Coast, three hours behind us ... which means Dad was posting at a respectable 7:30am.
ReplyDeleteI'll see if I can find a 'Internet for Dummies' book this weekend for ya. Maybe they have a 'Time Zones for Dummies' too ;)
Mmm from what I recall there was a prompt during blog set up to indicate PROPER time zone association to your blog. I guess you were too busy messin with your fancy gadgets to notice... or have you moved to California? Let me know if you find those books and I can loan them to ya!
ReplyDeleteDad how do BBQ squirrel taste? Or was he smoked?
