:D

Cameo iz in ur howse, blockin’ ur camraz.

cool cat

1) Did the screen leave little marks on your nose?
2) Isn’t any yard you guys have by definition a Green one?
3) Cameo’s cameo was furtastic.

Yes. Herbs man. You don’t need a garden. Just planters. They’re portable. Basil, oregano, rosemary, etc. Maybe tomatos.

And down with lawns! Yeah!

And and and if you have a garden, you have a useful place to put all of your wonderful COMPOST!

I love your cute, panda t-shirt, Hank! Cameo didn’t seem too thrilled, but we still love her.

I’m with Hank–don’t water the lawn. Every summer here in Wisconsin we have at least a month with no rain, and the result is always the same. Lawn gets brown. Eventually some rain comes, lawn bounces back. It’s amazing really. And who has the time or interest to correctly place the sprinkler? Summer’s too short for that type of thing.

But without lawn where does the soccer team practice? Where do you have friends over? Where do you sit? I’m totally pro growing your own vegetables sans pesticides, but think of the children!

I like the idea of a garden instead of a lawn, but it kinda requires a generously sized deck/patio if you ever want to entertain outside. I’m sensing a garden lawn is only for the metro-suburbia almost-nonexistant lawns, considering all the work it would take to remove an entire grass lawn and replant it with vegetables and flowers..

Oh and you should look at drip irrigation systems like rainbird. They were designed in Israel where water is pretty hard to get. They’re way more efficient than a regular sprinkler and they only target the plants you want.

First off, when Cameo did his cameo, I thought was so funny and cute! Plus he looked very similiar to my Miyuki. Also about the water in Australia, I think Alabama is pretty much in the same boat. The rain deficit is around 16+ inches last I checked. Then again, Australia’s is probably bigger but still! That’s a lot rain!

Your cat is adorable and like aurian, Kinda looks like my cat.

I hope someday you will be able to plant your own Vegitopia in you yard, as long as it doesn’t go all Animal Farm on you be ruled by despotic rabbits or something.

The vego garden could be encorporated into the EBO as some sort of activity or something in which the Evil Babies could work out their stress.

Why have raised beds? Wouldn’t it be better to put the plants at ground level instead of using materials to make the raised beds?

OMG PANDAMONIUM T-SHIRT.

I have one in red, myself. It is just about my favorite t-shirt ever.

Aw, Cameo!

cameo. sweet.

outside. hot. but nice.

enough of that…i bought looking for alaska today!!! i am very very excited. however, i cant read it until i finish the book i am already reading. :[. but the book im reading is pretty awesome so yea not so bad. wanna know what im reading?! ok ok im reading the lovely bones. its good. read it! or not…ok thats all for now.

It is screen-vision!

I loved this one! I am going to ask my parents if I can grow a few veggies. tomatoes and carrots. probably just those. hahahah. =]
ohhhh maybe I’ll put some fruit in there and grow strawberries!
ps along with everyone else I loved Cameoe’s Cameo. =]

YAY! Cameo!! I kinda like grass, though. It’s fun to just chill out in the yard and talk. (either face to face or on the phone, I’ve done both.) You can’t really sit on your veggies. I mean literally, yes, you could…but you probably wouldn’t WANT to. If you did, all of your hard work would be for nothing! I vote to keep the grass, but to ALSO have a garden.

Good video! I like Outdoor B2.0.

Also, wait, what? Australia only has 62 weeks of water left? How come I haven’t heard about this?

I wish I didn’t have green grass…..all my neighbors do but mostly because we have had 26 days of rain in the last 30 days…..but NORMALLY it would be hot right now and we would have to water - why you ask? HOME OWNERS ASSOCIATION - they are evil just plain evil.

Poor Australia. But plants are hard to take care of, too, because of stupid bugs and stuff. Comforting, though…

Love the Cameo claw!!

My stupid stupid stupid wireless connection went off again while I was downloading the video, and now it skips the last 30 seconds. This is not fun. Does anybody know how to fix it? Or is it a well-kept secret of the YouTube elves?

Planting suggestion: get rid of the fancy shrubs and bushes and replace them with local grasses. They’re designed to survive whatever weather you get! Ryan and I are in the process up ripping up the beds in the front yard. Goodbye water-sucking shrubs, hello rosemary and sage and firegrass!

PANDAMONIUM

We sort of had a discussion about bad grammar earlier in the year. In your description, you wrote “a urge.” CONGRATS! You just punched my nose, and it hurts. Wah.

And yes, pandamonium!!!!!!!

I’m from Down Under so thanks for the mention We all knew you would be keeping an eye on us. However, you need not worry about us watering the grass. It’s against the law. In fact most things other personal hygene are out, which sadly also won’t allow us veggies either. Sigh

P.S. Sorry about the grammer Angela. Doh. I must proof read, I must proof read. I must……. Mitzi

Cows need grass.

native flowers and grasses are a really great way to go. i have seen some beautiful lawns that are almost exclusively native. but yeah, you’d want to retain a bit of space for sitting and enjoying your hard work… even if it is just big enough for a picnic blanket.

Hey, Hank i’m loving the threadless. It went well with the faux outdoor theme.

Love the cat. That name is pretty kick butt too. Quick question though. [this may have been answered in an episode that I missed or something but-] Why don’t the comments and the forum count as textual communication?

Hee - no way you just lept on-camera! Your prancing is very graceful.

Cameo’s fur looks mighty healthy!

Hurrah for no lawns! My husband asked me to keep a small patch of lawn for sitting on, so I’ve done so, but everything else is flowers and veggies. Hank, what about placing large pots on your patio for tomatoes and sweet peas? They’d look pretty and smell good, too. I’m a fan of the peppery-fresh scent of a lot of veggies.

hey! i was in boundary waters during this!

Okay. Maybe I’m way off base here, but isn’t grass pretty essential to the prevention of soil erosion? I mean… I’m cool with not watering your lawn. Previous commenter is right. Most times it’s just dormant and bounces back very well when it rains, but having no grass seems like a very bad thing to me.

i am still looking for the best type of garden lawn that we need to use on our home garden.~~-
