Oooh! Hate mail!

Bahahaha!!!

While working on garden analysis posts to be scheduled for later, a couple of comments showed up in my dashboard, pending approval.

I won’t be approving them, but I just have to share them with my regular visitors.

I just love it when people make fools of themselves sending hate mail. Check this first one out.

Analyzing our 2024 Garden: peas, beans, carrots and greens

You must be a total rookie gardener.

The first thing to do is keep the deer out of your garden. FENCES are your friend. Why on earth would you allow cats access to your garden? Can’t you afford a litter box?

There is a site called All America Selections (AAS). Go there to find varieties that work. Most things I grow were AAS selections, I have only been burned by AAS varieties a couple times.

When it comes to seed viability the smaller seeds last the longest. I keep carrot seeds for 5 years or more and they sprout while pea seeds only last for 2-3 years.

Hint: a good carrot variety is Scarlet Nantes, an AAS recommended carrot from the 1930’s, a consistent reliable producer, make sure you thin them or you get crap as you will with any carrot that isn’t thinned.

Green beans, yuck!

Cleary, this is someone who hasn’t read anything else on this blog, or he wouldn’t have said what he did about the deer or the cats, for starters. Nor any of the other stuff, to be honest.

Randy, I don’t know how you found this blog (interesting that your user name is not linked, so you get to barf all over people’s blogs, and no one can follow you back to your own profile or blog – what a coward!), but you might want to actually spend some time reading it before making judgmental comments. Otherwise, you’re just making a fool of yourself.

Actually, you’re making a fool of yourself, just writing trash like this.

Also, do you really think that I’m going to read some random person saying “Green beans, yuck!” and think, “oh, no! Some dude on the internet doesn’t like green beans! That means I need to stop liking them or growing them!”

Seriously. Get over yourself.

Oh, and then he left this comment, too.

You are a total fucking idiot.

Einstein said the definition of stupidity was doing the same thing again and again and expecting a different result. You kept planting beans so the deer could continue to feast on your beans? STUPID!

Gardening is hard work and you don’t work hard to feed deer you moron! Put up some fences you dope.

Also, why would you create a blog to tell the world how stupid you are?

Wake up and die right.

Oh, Randy, you precious little snowflake. So stunning! So brave!

Thank for the laugh. You have no idea how much you’re embarrassing yourself.

  1. Some people amaze and disappoint me at the same time. Fences may be our friend, but they don’t always stop deer. I’m guessing this individual has never seen deer jump. My garden is small but it is fenced. I ended up having to put tomato cages and ribbons around my okra and bell peppers one year because the deer were munching them to the ground.

  2. Thanks for sharing ‘Randy’! You know, blogging ‘influencers’ pay good money for hate mail like that—you could break that down to a variety of posts like, “How cat poop is your friend” or “100 ways to feed the deer this year” or even “The right way to make gardening enemies”

    Some even set up straw men, get their buddies in on the action, then take them down publicly in order to look like heroes. The audience loves it! Imagine, battle it up a bit with Randy and you could grow your channel to include paid ‘fight club’ sponsors—they love that crap! (Actually, that’s a seriously good idea, don’t knock it!) 😆

  3. It seems strange that some randome person would show so much interest in a stranger’s blog and display so much animosity.
    It feels more like somebody who knows you and resents you for some reason.

    • Nah. Another blog I’ve never heard of before included a link to one of my garden analysis posts. I got quite a bit of new traffic from there.

      Unfortunately, I see this sort of behavior all over social media. The internet brings out the worst in some people. They just love to go on the attack towards strangers.

      The psychologist in me sees it as a way for people with a low opinion of themselves, trying to build themselves up by tearing others down. The anonymity of the internet allows them to behave in ways that they wouldn’t be able to get away with in real life.
