no, I'm wrong - don't think teeth. Sounds like you should think about what surrounds them, tho'...
2:15 am

yw - it's actually something to do with big guns. The ones that go boom, not the upper arms of men that they are so proud of!

hokie carla
spoiler alert, it's another tough one!
9:25 am
MollyL
Yeah, but who knows that gi9 means sesame seeds?
9:26 am
hokie carla
oh, that's what the sesame seeds statement meant? I didn't even put that together.
9:28 am
hurshy
when you click it, the dictionary doesn't even know that, lol
9:29 am
MollyL
It's a mid-16th century word? Who carries that around in their memory banks?
9:29 am
hokie carla
bea is a master gardener though
9:30 am
MollyL
I didn't know sesame seeds grew in the garden
9:30 am
hokie carla
and how did you even look that up, hurshy? there are 76 9 letter gi words, and lots of ways to go in this grid that could come from 1 of 2 g's.
9:31 am
hokie carla
got it
9:31 am
MollyL
I got it from morewords. Good guess I suppose
9:31 am
hokie carla
just scrolled through the list and was like "that word has all the letters", and it worked.
9:32 am
hokie carla
looks like it normally has a double L
9:33 am
hokie carla
and where else would seeds come from? sesame is a flowering plant.
9:33 am
hurshy
you found 76 gi9 words? i do not think morewords showed me that many
9:34 am
hurshy
yeah it only showed me 37
9:34 am
hokie carla
I use best word list, sometimes they have extra not in enable, but usually pretty close
9:34 am
hurshy
i guess mine's set on words with friends
9:34 am
BzznBea
Sesame seeds grow from a beautiful plant. People who do foodscaping in NC plant it.
9:37 am
MollyL
I thought they came from tropical plants. Either way, the gi9 is still an obscure word.
9:37 am
hokie carla
from what I read it is, but is cultivated everywhere
9:38 am
hurshy
there's a fly here and it's driving my cats crazy. esp fritz
9:39 am
hokie carla
maybe they should catch it then
9:39 am
hokie carla
winston always tries. I think he has once.
9:39 am
hurshy
well it's staying out of reach, that is why driving crazy!
9:39 am
BzznBea
As long as it is hot and dry they will grow. Probably wouldn't get them to grow any farther north.
9:40 am
hurshy
fritz says "come a little bit closer, you're my kind of fly"
9:40 am
rururocks
(expects a broken lamp at Hurshy's house)
9:40 am
MollyL
"foodscaping"...such a trend setter word
9:40 am
hurshy
name that proper noun! mrs. roosevelt
9:40 am
rururocks
to grow sesame seeds do you have to plant a bagel?
9:40 am
MollyL
For those who eat vines, flowers and seeds
9:41 am
MollyL
Or a Big Mac
9:41 am
cybernan
so far this grid isn't so bad - but then I have a long way to go!
9:42 am
MollyL
If you plant the Big Mac it will grow two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions too
9:42 am
BzznBea
Some HOAs do not allow vegetable gardens, so people have found away around it by adding vegetables in with their flowering plants and shrubs.
9:43 am
MollyL
Excuse me? They don't allow vegetable gardens?
9:44 am
BzznBea
Some don't.
9:44 am
rururocks
i would never live in an HOA
9:45 am
hurshy
that's super snooty
9:45 am
hokie carla
they definitely don't, but we did planter veggies on the deck
9:45 am
cybernan
we can plant anything we want as long as it isn't visible from the street, so I do have some herbs, lettuce, green beans and strawberries. At $5 per head in the stores, the lettuce alone is worth it.
9:45 am
rururocks
snooty?
9:45 am
hokie carla
not sure about our new 'hood, but we have bears so I don't really want to plant anything to attract them.
9:46 am
hokie carla
I thought our $2.something lettuce was bad. but I also have no idea what CAD is to USD right now.
9:47 am
MollyL
Most of the time, you don't have a choice. And most neighborhoods around here have HOA's
9:47 am
BzznBea
I planted tomatoes and staked them with my blueberry bushes. Grew lots of tomatoes.
9:47 am
hokie carla
that, exactly. every neighborhood we've been in has had one.
9:48 am
hokie carla
I would love to have a shed and a clothesline
9:48 am
cybernan
about 75% $1 USD = $1.32 CAD
9:48 am
MollyL
I can see not allowing vegetable gardens in the front yard, but not the sides or the back
9:49 am
origami
There is a wonderful book by Rosalind Creasy titled Edible Landscaping. It deals a lot with tucking in ornamental vegetables in the front yard.
9:50 am
hokie carla
I think you can do anything as long as it's not visible and they don't see it.
9:50 am
hokie carla
okay, that's a little redundant
9:50 am
MollyL
Ornamental vegetables?
9:50 am
hokie carla
vegetables that look good
9:52 am
cybernan
I think if the price of things keep going up, rules are going to have to be revised, or set aside some common land for community gardens.
9:52 am
rururocks
the exchange rate made our trip more affordable.. thank you Canada
9:52 am
BzznBea
ori, a young woman, Brie Arthur, does a lot of foodscaping. She started with Creasy's book and sexpanded on it. She has made a very nice life for herself.
9:53 am
hokie carla
ooh, sexpanded
9:53 am
MollyL
Sexpanded?
9:53 am
rururocks
not sure what sexpanded is but I like the sound of it

I'll have to check out her books.
