You sure have built a beautiful oasis for him to play and learn in.

I agree with Patti, it is an oasis, not a jungle. Your son is lucky, with all that healthy and super fresh food. That is the best lesson in life.
Excellent job!

Beautiful garden!! Sorry about the TSWV- yours looked identical to mine, although mine was further along. New growth was affected the most....

Oasis, jungle. It's all a matter of perspective...

From an earlier post of yours somewhere in this thread:

Men's fragrance; Brut,developed by Faberge many decades ago and still popular.

Derivation of the word Brut? Had to go back to medieval english to find that and no way am I giving the link, since I'd have to ban myself from Tville, and I'm not going to do that.

Still haven't found the connection to a cartoon,but each night when I dream,I dream of solving that as well.

Thanks everyone, my patch of green is a welcome sight in our dusty, ugly city, or at least that's what everyone's face says when they visit. Civic pride losses to reality, this town needs some serious work, on all fronts.

Brut, yikes, right up there with Obsession on the do not smell list.

Late summer/fall eating, hopefully.

I doubt that the perfume marketers went into it that deeply. Likely it was snatched from Champagne labels, where brut indicates a dry style (vs. sec which indicates a sweet style).

Even more than the mundane explanation, though, I'm sure it was chosen not for its meaning, but to play on the fact that potential buyers had seen the word in association with a high-end product.

Yes, I know that Brut means dry when it comes to champagne.

But I did quite a lot of background checking , at the time expense of what I should be doing, since I'm always trying to get one up on Gerardo, which is hard to do, but at least I try.

And he still hasn't confirmed that my answer of Brut is correct.

My seeds of Spudakee (CP, PL) came from Garden boy (Fl). 100 thumbs up. Beautiful, tasty and juicy. Production was above average in my garden, 17 pounds from one plant. Gerardo, have you tried it?
IS and JD's Special C-tex are favorite in my garden. Spudakee was a new to me. I really liked it. It was tot meaty, had lots of juice, still tasted great.

Gerardo led me astray with his mens fragrance comment and sent me an e-mail with an explanation and embeded cartoon.

No way can I share any of that since I'd have to ban myself.
