OMG VC....I can't believe the emotional turmoil you're setting up for them, what happens when they (cucumbers, for instance), start to develop both male and female flowers? I really hope you're prepared. xxthe fates lead him who will;him who won't they drag.

I'll talk to them about it when they're a bit older - get them a book that explains it all - or maybe buy all female cucumbers to save the embarrassment!Originally posted by di View PostOMG VC....I can't believe the emotional turmoil you're setting up for them, what happens when they (cucumbers, for instance), start to develop both male and female flowers?

I don't call them anything. They are seeds, seedlings, then plants. Start giving them names next VC. Then you won't be able to eat anything and we will have to call you fresh air chickenOriginally posted by veggiechicken View PostI know its a daft question but - When you greet your new seedlings do you regard them as male or female?
Mine are most definitely male - so I say things like "'Morning chaps", or, as I said on another thread - "Hello Big Boy".
Is this a female thing or do you gentlemen treat yours as little ladies, or boys?
And yes, the men in white coats will be along shortly!

Where's your soul, VVG! How can you treat them as casually as if they were a bag of nails. You sow them, give them life, they grow because you water them and watch over them and you dismiss them as common or garden weedlings. Some of my "specials" do have individual names - but I don't have a problem eating them at the end of their days. If they had fur or feathers that would be different......

If I was to name each of my 400 tomatoes and each of my 300 peppers by the time I got to typing out the names you'd call the men in white coats.Originally posted by veggiechicken View PostWhere's your soul, VVG!

That's reminded me of my chat with DD earlier ( 9 )...she had sex ed at school this week and has decided it's disgusting and never wants to do it. (although I've always been open and honest, I obviously can't have been as graphic as the video). She wondered if there's any other way to have a baby and I explained about IVF but said it's quite expensive. Her reply...' I want to marry a very rich prince then '.Originally posted by binley100 View PostShowed my mate how to pollinate squashes and she looked away and said ooh I can't ....thats being a bit too intimate

Not as bed as when my ten year old came home and asked me what w****** meant. It was on that same CGI video. How do you start to explain?
I said its nothing for you to worry about yet...forget about it. I was told "I talked to Vaughan about Lego Star Wars instead. The video was boring."
Thank goodness was my view

Sex ed when I was in school stopped with the amoeba. Perhaps that's why I never had kidsOriginally posted by di View PostThat's reminded me of my chat with DD earlier ( 9 )...she had sex ed at school this week and has decided it's disgusting and never wants to do it.
