I was admiring the huge rhubarb leaves wondering if they were edible. They are not. Apparently they are full of Oxalic Acid which can be a natural pesticide; aphids find 'em yucky. I might try making that pesticide mixture too. I could be an aphid destroyer superhero--the exterminator!
Anyway, I have been at the blog for a week. I realize I am mostly writing to myself, but that's ok, I guess. Speaking of ok...after watching Silver Linings Playbook, they reference the origins of the word "ok." Here's what I found: The oldest written references result from its use as a slogan by the Democratic party during the American Presidential election of 1840. Their candidate, President Martin Van Buren, was nicknamed 'Old Kinderhook' (after his birthplace in New York State), and his supporters formed the 'OK Club'. This undoubtedly helped to popularize the term (though it did not get President Van Buren re-elected).
