About the only instruction you need to plant a gourd garden is… put the seeds in the ground… get out of the way.
Gourds have tentacles that reach out, wrap around objects, and pull their vines along, so to speak.
Gourds from the Brother Jones Gourd Garden (Northern Division) are on the march at this very moment. Climbing up sunflowers… strangling defenseless flowers… even attacking the almighty riding lawn mower. Is nothing sacred? We have barricaded ourselves in the house for fear that we are next to fall to these marauding pillagers.
Wait… whats that creeping under the door…
oh, no… can it be… no…NO…
it’s a… IT’S A GOURD TENTACLE…
YEEEAAAAAAaaaAAAAA……..
Haha! That is like a mini-jungle in the convenience of your back yard.
I say arm yourself with a machete… and hack as you mow.
Thunderstorms, Hail, Tornadoes… we had it all last Saturday… screens were ripped out of our screened in porch… lawn chairs were scattered everywhere… sunflowers blown over and lying on the ground… and tragedy of tragedies… gourd trellises and gourd plants all but ripped right out of the ground… fortunately for the Brother Jones Gourd Gardens (Northern Division) we planted half a gazillion plants this season just in case a scenario like this presented itself…
… what about Toto and Auntie Em?
Nothing worse that a screenless screened-in porch. Half a bazillion gourd plants gone and only a half a gazillion left. I believe you need some sort of government grant to get you through.
…didn’t we vote at the last Brother Jones Bored Meeting to accept applications for Brother Jones Disaster Relief Grants?… where are the forms I need to fill out for one of those?
I see another grand opportunity for the “Fleecing of America” here. I’ll have a GRANT… hold the pickle.
The farmers down here just got a Drought Relief Grant so they can dig more wells… The farmers are ticked cause it limits them to acquiring water when in reality they need to BUY HAY for food.
Didn’t we submit a Krispy Kreme Grant at our last meeting? What ever became of that?
Hay for food? Doesn’t sound too tasty to me… can they get some Ranch Dressing thrown in to kick it up a notch?… BAM!
We have even encountered some drought ramifications with our little well. On occastions, some air is appearing in our water. This indicates the pump is creating a tornado like funnel in the well and sucking down some air. We have instituted the emergency NO WATERING plan. Can tolerate DRY SOCKETS but not a DRY WELL.
wow… I have been downloading Real Player all afternoon with my lightning fast dial up modem connection so I can listen to sports radio on the internet and look at all the fascinating stuff I’ve missed out on… hmmm… ok, well then… I’m glad I was able to contribute to the farm report… and, uh… I think I will… go… download something else off the internet….

Half-a-Kazillion Caloric in-take… it ain’t worth eating if it’s not bad for you. Pass the butter and salt.
Dennis Jones
mmmm… butter… salt…
Don Jones
Did you know the definition of JONES is an addiction. It’s also the slang name for heroin. I’m thinking our joneseseseses are butter, salt and caffeine. There’s a good t-shirt slogan in here somewhere

Not sure what you can read into this classic Jones Brother photo except Dennis thinks he is an Avenger or something

I cant help it if I have always been a trend setter… I still think the head only thru the top of a hooded sweatshirt is a great look and will no doubt catch on at some point in time…
Doug Jones
I recognize Don’s look… it’s the same one he had a the end of that big project he just completed.
Doug Jones
Dennis… I believe this was the time when you and Gollum were on the way to Mordor to destroy the ring of power.
Dennis Jones
yes… thats me Denno with my little buddy Don Wisegangee and Doug the Grey…
Dennis Jones
…of course, the ring of power in question here was a Krispie Kreme donut… which, as you can see, Don Wisegangee has just stuffed in his mouth while my back was turned…
Doug Jones
Gollum never had a chance with Don around. This is what I was talking about… Don has that “glazed” look on his face… now we know where it came from.
Don Jones
Wide-eyed and bushy tailed. As I recall, not too many Krispy Kremes around Mordor.
Dennis Jones
not after you rolled into town…
