I was at my Aunt's house the other day helping her declutter her basement when I came across <A HREF="http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dd6fr8r7_11mnbdfhdp" REL="nofollow">this old magazine</A>. Take a look at the lower right hand corner. It seems our Greenpa was quite the swinger in his day. He may very well be the Hugh Hefner of the environmental movement. I won't repeat what the text of article says because I don't want to change the G-rated atmosphere of your blog. But let's just say that in Greenpa's heyday, "green" was red hot.DChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16638079335012155807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-22716500953064522012008-02-01T08:05:00.000-08:002008-02-01T08:05:00.000-08:00Oh yeah, baby! I'm totally gonna watch that show. Let's bombard the DIY network to get Rachel on the show.<BR/><BR/>Crunchy, it's so nice to have you and Greenpa indulge in the some ecologically minded humor.

And, of course, I'd have to be there too, because I'd be soooo helpful.<BR/><BR/>I know it's an unscripted show, but I've already coached Rachel on a few key lines.<BR/><BR/>Carter: So, are you ready for an Inside Job?<BR/><BR/>Rachel: Oh yeaaaah (looking him up and down)<BR/><BR/>Carter: Let's start by showing me where you want to do this.<BR/><BR/>Rachel: Right up here on the second floor, I've already warmed the sheets for the bed. Oh! You mean the garden...<BR/><BR/>Carter: Now, I want to talk about soil temperatures and growing plants. <BR/><BR/>Rachel: Speaking of temperatures, I know it's only 50 degrees out, but can you take off your shirt?<BR/><BR/>Carter: This deer proof fence will keep out the coyotes too.<BR/><BR/>Rachel: And it looks like a cute little corral.

Shirtless. With a beautiful smile, and long, thick, wavy black hair...outside, in the yard, amongst the flowers....<BR/><BR/>Oh, wait a minute.

I actually call my business "The Assistant Gardener" because I think the homeowner should be the Head gardener. I basically do the heavy and tedious jobs so my clients can do a little gardening without hurting their backs. I might build a raised bed box, fill it with soil and compost, and then my client plants the lettuce seeds. Then, I come back every week and weed the garden, mulch, water, fertilize, whatever. Then my client harvests the lettuce and takes all the credit. (smile) <BR/><BR/>But, sorry, I only work in Austin. <BR/>Ask around, there's bound to be someone in your local area willing to "build" a garden so all Rachel has to do is go out and plant the seeds.perilousknitshttp://perilousknits.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-56040483181285268982008-02-01T05:02:00.000-08:002008-02-01T05:02:00.000-08:00Crunchy - I've seen his show and if he came shirtless to build anything at my house I wouldn't toss him out of bed for eating organic-made-at-home-local-wheat crackers in it.<BR/><BR/>Have you tried to contact the producers to get your friend on the show???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
