Hang - by Rand

Isn't it odd that
colloquialisms like
"hang" were being
used during the
eighteenth century?

I like to imagine
the Founding Fathers
hanging out outside
The Yellow Goose
drinking Sunny D
and gleaming the cube

"We must, indeed, all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately." -- Benjamin Franklin

  1. Yesterday I Came Across A Website with A Great Idea for Container Gardening

    http://www.urbanorganicgardener.com/how-to-make-a-hanging-herb-planter-using-recycled-soda-bottles/

    basic idea:
    hang plants upside down in old soda bottles

    more detailed instructions:
    save old soda bottles
    (or other containers)
    cut off bottom
    line edge with duct tape
    (for strength)
    punch holes
    two on each side
    attach string
    drill hole in cap
    add seedlings
    hang

    seeds I've started I will probably hang:
    oregano
    basil
    Italian parsley
    mint
    arugula
    salad bowl lettuce

    seeds I've started I definitely won't hang:
    red bell peppers
    tomatoes
    sunflowers

    I'm not sure what category the marigolds fall in.

    =============================

    A few notes:
    I make salads often.
    Outdoor planting season here in Grand Forks, ND is not till 1 June.
    (It snowed today.)

  2. I'm dangling
    By a thread
    Hovering
    Above it all
    Lifted up in suspense,
    Delight is killing me.
    Then the chords fade
    And I know true death:
    Falling from the heights
    Because there are no more notes
    From which to hang.
