Not doing it for ya today? It actually matured 3 years ahead of schedule. I got it from the Clemson Agricultural Extension Office located way off campus in beautiful Sandy Springs SC. When I noticed the first signs of turgidity in the what looked like blooms, I called the Ag Office and gave them the tag number. All plants from the Ag Office must be tagged. They came out to see it after I sent the first set of pictures because, and they told me this straight out, they thought I was full of it.
the looked at my ground, took samples, did some on site tests and just before they left they took a clipping (without my permission I might add) and pretty much didn't want to talk anymore. About a month later I received a letter from them with the results of the soil tests and other numbers that I had to look up online. That was 2007. 3 years later they are offering weinie bushes that mature in 2 two years, not the 5 and my name is not mentioned anywhere in the write up in SC Ag Monthly. No mention was made of a bush getting out to some citizen through their offices or that someone grew it in their yard. Matter of fact, they took credit for every aspect of the bushes development as if I never had weinie bush!
Today that weinie bush is a 20' tall tree and it produces blooms the size of 4 pound bolognas!
There's four pounds of bologna in that story all right, but it ain't what's coming off the tree!
Good story, Charles.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
