It's certainly a sign that she shouldn't try to raise any grazers.

Lilith---Hint:"old"way of growing "grass"!Take some seeds,put them in a damp paper towel.Place the paper towel,in a "baggie" &
throw under your couch.In a few days,you will have small shoots.
Order a Sears Hothouse Kit.It used to contain a tray,144 peat blocks,a plastic dome(top)etc."Dibble"the shoots into each peat block!Put (approx)1/2-3/4 of water in the tray & voila!After that,
you can use a room with "grow"lights or put them outside(depending on climate)In NH,a room with slowly changing temp.
works good.I hear that this works good but I also know that you
never confess to anything! Irish

ummm.......considering that the neighbors just got snagged with 3/4 of a million growing in their hothouse I think I'll pass
I need real grass, a lawn. We put in a sprinkler system and all my f'ing grass died. Mr. Lil just plugged 30 flats in so hopefully I will have a submissive lawn soon enough

I notice weeds is missing from your list. That's what most of the gardens have.

When we first got married Mr. Lil began the habit of going outside and pulling weeds when he wanted to tell me to fuck off. Surprisingly, I have not had any weeds grow in my gardens in 17 years

Lilith---Just a suggestion!A few yrs ago,we had a spot,in front of the house,that had junk trees/bushes,trash,etc.I got rid of it all.
I then rented a rototiller & made it fairly level.I spread grass seed,
mixed with fertiliser & spread it.I have a small hand spreader that you can adjust,the flow on.I went to the Gardening Store.Blue Seal has a variety of things, & bought some bales of hay/straw.
If you don't cover the seed with hay/straw,the birds will eat the
seed.It's alot of work,but after a few yrs,I now have a lawn there,
& it looks much better then the brush/junk pile.It also increases the value of your property! Irish
P.S.They also have a large variety of grass seed.They had one for the local climate.
