I just want a new shovel. One with a motor on it. And a seat. A nice soft, cushy seat. With arm wrests. And glass all the way around it. And a door. Steps leading up to the door. Lots of knobs. One knob turns on the air conditioner. Another knob turns on the stereo. And another turns on the windshield wipers. At the other end of the shovel, I want a gigantic rototiller. I want one of the knobs to turn on that rototiller. Oh yea...cup holder.

I think they sell those but I don't have the money to purchase you one. When I do, I'll throw in a coldbox with some beer or maybe just a beer hat?

I would like to grow horseradish, and other perennials. I have lots of garlic chive seeds, if anyone needs them. Please don't ask me what kind they are, they have been growing in that bed for 10 years, but, this year I collected seeds! I have photos of them, which I can put on photobucket, if anyone is interested in seeing them.
I simply can not grow bulbing onions. I am doing okay with the Egyptian Onions, I suppose, it is multiplying and filling up a raised bed, so I must not have killed it yet. I am wondering if multiplier onions, like potato onions would grow well for me? I grow potatoes and sweet potatoes well, even my garlic did great, when I fall plant it. But onions get to scallion stage and immediately bolt, or just die... So, I only grow them for the chives! :-(

Intermediate day or day-neutral onions would be nice. They are not as easy to find as the long or short day types, but they're out there. I suppose those are on my 'must have' list. I'd like to get Candy F1 and see how well it does, and maybe a few others, and try to get a gene pool of onions that will grow well here.
I'd like to get Yugoslavian Finger Fruit squash and cross it with scallop squash to see if any new and unusual forms arise.
Also, I think it'd be fun to grow some Microtoms and try to cross them with other tomatoes, selecting back for tiny size plants with larger fruit. And I must have some of Al Kapuler's centiflor tomatoes!
A lawn tractor was on my must have list, but we lucked out and got a good used one recently! I can do so much more work now with that little cart behind it.
I've been planting apple cores every 5' around the property line this fall. I would love to see some seedlings this spring - I must have apple trees! And peaches, and pears...
