Yeah, but have you tried horse meadow hay bales with perique? (Don't know what a pal is, but baled a lot of hay growing up)

Hi, the "Pals" were volunteers locally that served in the Somme & such forgotten battles sir,a City man myself, good exercise bailing hay, beats gym expenses for the elites, I prefer the pen to the sword myself , bye.
PS I can take or leave tobacco , and hay is available most places, with lawful herbs a fine smoke, mullein & marshmallow root or Mugwort or Sculcap, but I am a crazy limey, I do not grow hay or wild buffalo milk tobacco in my English garden

Hey motto, I'm from Manchester myself, grew up in South Wales, moved to Colchester in Essex, then off to the States, mostly in Texas. My mother's father fought in the Somme as a signals man, and it screwed him up for life. Can't have much of a garden here in Texas, unless you're determined or plant cactus or something.

Hi, I have been to Manchester, they say even the Cactii are as big as the Eiffel tower or the Empire State building in Texas, but not been there yet ! It is a small, world myself I have not served like my Grandad or Dad, thank God , but some people still seek satisfaction for sins of our Father's, I am stupid enough to want to live in peace as John Lennon said Imagine...Give Peace a Chance. But as Cicero was taught an unjust peace is better than a just war,

I'm in Dallas, where it's flat, dry and brown; not very pretty. If you head east you get to actual green trees that are fragrant. South they have rolling hills and eventually a gulf, but also not very pretty. West is just a frigging desert, not sure why people stopped to make settlements there. The big cactii are further west, in New Mexico and Arizona. Here it's just hot, with short, dusty trees and no mountains. Every few years we'll get half an inch of snow and it's hilarious - everything closes and there's a car in the ditch for every mile you drive. The adults come out and try to build little snowmen. The people, on the other hand, are of the highest quality; I especially like Texan girls, independant, self-sufficient and with integrity. Life is what you make it, there's probably even some good people in France  |

Hi, the desert dwellers were full of old time religion to fertilise the desert & create a paradise, not many people read the Bible like the founding Father's. But the yellow roses of Texas must be like Spring daffodils over here 😉 , as for fertilising the desert modern Christian Permaculture shows promise. Bye.

Well, their fertilized paradise failed. I used to spend a week in Monahans every month for business, and it's a dump. OIL! That's what's going on out there. You look out your motel window and count the oil derricks, if I remember right we could always count at least fifty that we could see. I spent a week helping my uncle on a rig once, and that's a dirty and dangerous business; lots of ways to get hurt or die.
If you talk to the locals, within five minutes you can guarantee they will be talking about how they want to leave and go somewhere nice. This country's so big, there's lots of beautiful places, but west Texas ain't one of 'em. Go to the Shenandoah valley in Virginia for some natural beauty, or see the big trees in Washington and Oregon.
I like Dallas, because it's a modern city with lots of stuff to do, and you can always go to the country for some camping or fishing, just don't go in the summer or you'll fry. I had a thermometer with me camping one time and it was 126° F in the tent. Nights would cool to a chilly 80° or so, which is still too damn hot.

I love west Texas. But then, I love dry, dry desert. Thanks for the OGS tip. One of my favorites.

PS.very interesting, But thanks for reminding me of Orlik gold sliced it is on my wish list I haven't tried it yet, But as for creating paradise, God works on nanosecond to billenia time scales. But modern instant gratification creates a wasteland, enjoying my pipe with ABC Australian news on my Pure Internet radio.
