Killgore’s Fall Harvest

November 19, 2010

[Guest Post by Fiddler on the Hoof!]

Hi there.

Now, as you know I have no sense of humour at all and I don’t find anything funny. Not even really funny things.

When I saw this I lost it. I laughed myself silly. In fact I am still laughing as I type this.

No, really, this is funny in a sad sort of way.

Don’t click on the link yet, just follow my thoughts…

“I grew scarlet runner beans for the first time this year. They are a very easy plant to grow and very attractive. Despite our lousy growing season this year they ended up being pretty prolific. The young pods can be picked while tender and eaten like green beans. You’ll probably find that the plant will overwhelm you with too many pods but that’s ok because you can leave them on the vine and allow them to mature. Since we’re getting close to the first frost and snow of the year I decided to clear out the last of my beans. Each of these pods is about 12-18 inches long.”

Kilgore posts a pic of a basket of beans…

Great, I like gardening, I love to grow stuff and watch the raccoons steal it but that is a whole nuther story. Next:

“Shelling reveals large (about an inch across) beans with various colors of red, pink, purple and even a few white beans.”

Well, I’d had a few beers and I thought, “Either the bees have been playing the field, or them there bean plants have been around.” He posts a pic of a lot of multi-cultural and ethnically diverse beans. Next:

“I also harvested some Kale. The slugs have been at it but there’s still plenty left for me. Those Kale plants will continue to produce leaves all winter long.”

Oh oh… “The slugs have been at it!” I sense disaster, but, “there’s still plenty left for me.” Then comes the picture that says a thousand words, well basically it just says a few words:

“The slugs pwned your kale Kilgore!”

(OK, I need to take a break, I am laughing myself silly again!) I can’t go on… I attached the pic of what is left of the kale the slugs didn’t eat. Aw, I love this stuff…

Regards,
Fiddler on the Hoof :)

    I wonder if he connects his lousy growing season to the fact that the planet has got a lot cooler these last few years?

    Killgore’s got a whole series on the LGF cookbook site.

    I was going to make jokes about supplementing food from the food bank but that has become reality for many people so I will not do it. That said, slug traps are easy, bury tuna cans, fill with beer, slugs drink and drown. Going to have to stir fry that nasty looking produce. Hope he has a cookbook recipe for that. Bwahahaha

      We had slug and snail problems until the possums showed up. They cleaned up the cat messes, too.

    Not to mention that some slugs are intermediaries of nasty parasites. Wouldn’t want to ingest any thing it touched.

    For example: http://www.cdc.gov/parasites/angiostrongylus/

    That’s some big time, slug-touched, pathetic kale!

    I may have found some evidence that K’gore may have already ingested slugs.

    And if that doesn’t work…all you have to do is put sand under and around the plant. Slugs get the gritty sand on them and can’t crawl. I tried the beer way didn’t work. Sand never fails. And doesn’t hurt the plant either.
    And I would not eat slug leftovers…yuck. Some big time gardener there if he doesn’t know how to handle the slugs.

      Diatomacious earth (aka diatom skeletons) works on slugs and snails and it’s cheap. Gets them all dry, itchy and irritable, and I bet if you tossed some salt on Ludwank he’d get all foamy and stuff, too.

      I have a rabbit problem now. Bought some really noxious smelling spray. Makes me want to throw up, so I hope it repels the rabbits. LOL. The critters ate only the white pansies, right down to the dirt, they did not eat the decorative kale or cabbages.

    Hey you stupid bastard thats nothing but johnson grass.

      Johnson grass is not kale.

      The cash is in marajuaina – and far more lucrutive to grow.
      Get a clue KT.

    Did Killgore go to UC Santa Cruz? The mascot at that school is the Banana Slug!

    He’s really going to eat those half-digested weeds? Has to be a joke, right?

    Killgore is apparently krazy, anyway, the way he’s done the same 180 on every topic in order to stay in tune with the Fatass. Not surprised he practices Goofy Gardening, I guess.

    That kale is nasty. It hasn’t been just damaged by slugs-it’s been nuked by them. Who knows what else has been gnawing at that stuff.

    The leaves are all covered in slimey snail snot! Gag.

      A little salt will take care of that…

    If he is desperate enough to eat that Kale, I suspect a compost heap would be in danger of being eaten.

    I swear I think you guys are doing a harry potter theme. giant spiders, a guy named we(a)sley, and now slugs (remember, “Eat slugs!”). weird.

    oh, and that “produce” is gross! i’d leave it for the slugs. what a weirod.

    Did he repeatedly yell the N word at his garden, then accuse it of racism? Hmmmm…

    he picked that skanky kale and took the time to save it.
    that tells me he’s gonna eat it.

    He is a filthy disgusting pig. and I’ll bet an incredible cheapskate too

      Cheapskate it is, he is the creep that was whining about money and couldn’t afford to take his cat for medical care, but bought a Roomba a few days later.
      That’s right, an out of work bum couldn’t find the time to sweep his floors, so the cat suffered.

    Arugula, Killgore, arugula. Yuppies want to buy arugula at Whole Foods, not kale.
