Same Coil Same Tank Different Taste

Um... The seed is self sufficient. It has enough food in itself to push out cotyledons and roots.

Well she made a point that we drink chlorinated water & that the seed would also need further food and stimulation found in soil. Not going to say she's correct simply because she's my wife, but it would seem she's got a valid point.

The chlorine in the water alone could be enough to stop a seed from germinating. She also mentioned the cucumbers might have had those fancy new Monsanto seeds that wouldn't grow anyway. Given they came from Kroger's grocery, I think that might be probable as well.

Since the thread is already derailed, ...

Two sisters are crossing the street. Which one leads the eldest or youngest?

I thought of that reading the OP but had refrained from asking.

 

[GOMuniEsq]

She clarified the subject for me by asking me what the seeds would eat in only water.

The seed pod contains enough nutrients to get the root and sprout started. Ask your wife: since she's so clever, how can she explain hydroponics, where plants grow to maturity entirely without soil?

Chlorine disperses from standing tap water within an hour.

The youngest, because there's no traffic and she's too impatient to walk all the way to the intersection.

Are you 100% sure and certain of that response?

I'm aware myself of hydroponic farming. I was not sure though why after a week the seeds had not at least started to appear to be growing. Her answers at the time seemed logical though. As it might seem logical a younger child would be impatient simply due their age. Perhaps, this youngest daughter has been taught to listen to her older sister by father?

Do you know? Neither do I. So I would say it is a moot point to ask the question. There's so much unknown even making what seems an intelligent guess falls by the wayside. I think you stand about as good a chance as it raining, that's always 50/50 odds, it will or it won't. How can you know until it does, or doesn't?

Well, I think if chlorine was that much of a problem and that much of our watering happens via hose, from the house, Jeez. Chlorine don't matter. I deliberately use chlorinated water on a plant because I am afraid the cold and filtered water in the office might kill it of shock.

Hydroponics are not just "plants in water." There's all these nutriennty things you and and they float on stuff I'm sorry but hydroponics is NOT just shoving a plant in water. This is called "drowning a plant' not hydroponics.

I am not even a gardener. Thank God.

Couldn't agree more. My guess, you drowned them.

No, lol, I'm just trying to get you in trouble. You're telling me there's no one right answer? Like how long is a piece of string?

Here's a riddle for you:
She has tasteful friends
And tasteless enemies.
Tears are often shed on her behalf,
Yet never has she broken a heart.

That riddle has many layers.

Riddles? Noooooooo!!!!!!

 

[stols001]

I kind of think riddles are designed to piss a person off. Whether you know the answer or not.

Course I am returning from Walmart: Current mood, not to be trusted.

An onion. Did I win something? Was I even close to being right? OMG! Did I actually answer a riddle? Shoot me now!

ONION
Congratulations, you win! I believe @HigherStateD had it too. If either of you ever start a Youtube channel I'll subscribe and promote your channel to all my followers. The exposure will be priceless.

My legs are as long as yours. My legs and yours both reach from the ground underneath our feet to the point where they join to our rumps we sit on. So our legs are the same size, not too long and not too short.

The question about the sisters was given to a zen student by a zen master. The student was obsessed with koans, or "instructional" poem / riddles that hopefully could lead to enlightenment.

The point the master was making was none of us can ever be sure of anything fully. We can only make guesses, educated or not. There's no way to say any thought, idea, person, machine, ... anything is ever right or wrong. How could it be fully proved?

As a secondary point the master had a trump card. The student responded with this. "Oh great master, I've studied the koan long and hard and can only conclude with another question, ... what does it matter?" In expressing this to the master who by then was grinning, the student was enlightened. The master winked and both went on their way.

The student realized that such a question was irrelevant to the way he needed to go. Did that then mean the koan itself was useless? Or was it useful to simply get the student thinking enough to realize it's uselessness? ... "I once dreamed I was a butterfly, ..."

Now to your riddle ... I'll guess an onion.

P.S. I need no help getting into trouble. I married her. And no, I did not read ahead before answering the riddle, at least not here.

 

[stols001]

You know I like a lot of things about Zen (not really I don't want to like, go sit in a cave and meditate for years, that sounds like HELL) but the koans really take the cake.

I always want to respond "Your ...." To each and every one.

I might have already reached enlightenment as that answer is as valid as any other one in my opinion.

I am glad Marsha Linehan went and became a Zen monk and then passed along the useful stuff in clear easy to understand language. Now I don't have to.

I've heard that it's a good thing to let tap water stand for about an hour to let the chlorine evaporate if you use it for plants. It's however not necessary.

the seed would also need further food and stimulation found in soil

That is true: once the seed has germinated, it needs to be put into soil quickly, otherwise it will die. It should germinate in water though, I've seen it happen plenty of times. However, not all seeds are able to germinate: I once had a discussion with a farmer who explained it to me, unfortunately I don't remember it very well. But I think that the seeds that the farmers purchase might be modified so that they have to purchase new seeds every year, maybe that's why yours didn't germinate.
