Sweet Cicely Puns

Sweet Cicely needs a cold interval and should be planted immediately in temperate climates, I don't know anything about growing it in warmer climates. The onions can be planted at any time.

I expect that Bronze fennel seeds will be available soon unless something goes wrong; comment if you want some and I'll follow up.

I'll send you seeds free for the asking, but I encourage you to make a donation to a BLM-related charity or a charity of your choice if you can afford it.

Let me know if this isn't allowed here and I'll remove it.

Anybody know where I could find this herb? Tried the farmer's market in Beaverton on Saturday, nobody had it. It grew at my parent's place in Oregon City back when I was a little kid, some part of it (forget which) tasted a lot like licorice.

Sorry if this a long read, I wanted to include all available information.

Background:

Fair-haired and blue-eyed, Christine Vivian Butcher was born in April of 1944 in Windsor, a town in Berkshire, England. She was the only daughter of Charles Ernest Butcher (1912 - 1976) and Barbara Eva Butcher (née Quine; 1906 - 1984). She had an older brother named John, who was born in 1939. The family lived on Peascod Street, near Windsor Castle. From a young age, Christine had an interest in famous people, especially boxers, her favourite of which was the American Sugar Ray Robinson.

The Disappearance:

Christine's home was just 30 yards from the Star and Garter Hotel, and on the 8th of July 1951, she found out that Sugar Ray was staying there in preperation for his fight on the 10th against the British middleweight boxer Randy Turpin. Christine had a black porcelain doll she nicknamed 'Blackie' (this was the 1950s!) that she thought looked like Sugar Ray, and she was desparate to show it to him, hoping that the resemblance would impress him so much that he would take her on a ride in his pink Cadillac.

Between 3 and 3:30pm, Christine's mother waved her daughter off as Christine set off on the short walk to the hotel, dressed in a green and white gingham dress and a blue gabardine raincoat and clutching the doll and a small bag of sweets. This would be the last time Christine would be seen alive, and her parents contacted authorities a few hours later (I could not find exactly how long after) when she did not return home when it got dark.

The Initial Investigation:

The Berkshire police immediately started their search. It was believed that Christine had reached the entrance of the hotel, 'disappearing' into a crowd of people waiting at the steps, but they found by talking to Sugar Ray that Christine had stepped foot the hotel, as he, anybody in his entourage or any hotel employees had not seen Christine at all. Sniffer dogs and soldiers brought in from the famed Household Cavalry to search the area and draggings of the nearby River Thames also yielded no results.

Christine's connection to Sugar Ray meant that her disappearance was in headlines across the word, the news spreading even to Australia and the USA. Sugar Ray himself was quoted as saying “I am very sorry about this - if I had known she wanted to see me, her daddy c

I guess the concept didn't work

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat

Do your worst!

Long time reader, first time poster.

I’ve taken a major liking to plants and creating my own food. Something more than the annual plants. I’ve been learning a lot but I am at the point where I need to stop reading and just act on what I’ve learned.

I want to make my 5,000sqft yard into an edible forest gardens. I found the books “Edible Forest Garden” that go into nice descriptions and give recommended plants and hundreds of other unique and obscure plants. I have read through both Volumes of Edible Forest Garden and I’ve saved all of their recommended links that they listed for the garden. I searched all of their recommended links and I have found some links are no longer around, some have been bought out, and some are still in existence. This makes it fairly overwhelming. I can find Good King Henry, but more obscure plants are difficult to find. Native is less important to me, more important is finding something that is edible and perennial, perennial and nitrogen fixture, perennial and fixer that pulls other useful potassium from the soil.

My questions:

1. Has anyone read the books?
2. Has anyone had any success with the book recommended places for plants?
3. Some of the plants are pretty unique, does anyone have recommendations to places I can order online and have them shipped to me in Zone 5, outside of the book recommendations?
4. If someone has followed these books, have you attempted to propagate or seed the perennial edibles? How has that gone for you? Could you help or guide me to do the same? My goal is to be sustainable. Order the plants, grow, and either propagate or collect seed.

Edit: Since a few people have asked, I have a list below of what I'm wanting to add. I would eventually like to learn to propagate or put them to seed. I'm all ears to good book recommendations on how to do that for some of these plants. Although some are easier to find, I'm looking to find a few shops that sell a handful so I can hopefully not spend $10 on plants and $40 on shipping for each order.

-Serviceberry (Single trunk style, I put two of these in a few weeks ago)

-Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens), Easier to find

-Arrow Broom (Genista Sagittalis), Difficult to find

-Groundnut (Apios americana), Not too difficult to find

-Ramp (Allium tricoccum), Easier to find

-Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis), Easier to find

-Milkvetch (Astragalus glycyphyllos), Difficult to find

-Good King Henry (Chenopodium bonus-henricus), Easier to find

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?

Mathematical puns makes me number

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

They were cooked in Greece.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.

I wrote a post about my 27 or so samples order this week - first few samples arrived today - here are my reviews!

Jorum Studio: First things first - the packaging for all these samples was very lovely if a tad wasteful. I also received a couple extra samples as a freebie which I will review below.

Notes: Scottish Lavender, Beeswax, Fennel, Apple, Honey,

Neroli oil, Hyacinth, Flouve, Patchouli, Morocco Leather*, Gurjun Balsam, Oak, Ink.

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

And now I’m cannelloni

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

But that’s comparing apples to oranges

And boy are my arms legs.

Put it on my bill

Heard they've been doing some shady business.
