I grow a lot of mint in around my carrots to ward of the carrot fly, does the trick IMO

I'm going with lots of onion, shallot, garlic and basil at the feet of my tomato plants this year.

I've been away for a while and just checked in on the last post in this thread and wow... this must have taken some left turn!

The old Ideal Gas Law / Deflategate thread got exiled for not being about football, and one about computer games and vegetable planting is still here.

That's what I would do. That alignment would get your best players on the field. And the player's talent is more important than the scheme.

This is backwards. The Patriots defensive line is far superior to their linebacking corps. Why would anyone want to sit D linemen to get Freeney and Bostic on the field, it makes no sense?

Yep, it just wandered off the tracks.

At least pot roast has vegetables...

Why would anyone want 4 of our LB's on the field at the same time?

That dreaded left turn at Albuquerque...

I can see them running some 3-4 situationally but I think would be more of a matter of Ninkovich or Sheard dropping off the line but using it as a base makes no sense to me. Overall I think Belichick is going to a completely situational defense and a base defense will no longer apply to them.

Why would running a 3-4 mean Freeney and Bostic are on the field?

Exactly . They are riding the pine.

Taking a guess here but at it is now, the preferred config would be Nink, Flowers, or Grissom and High at OLB and Collins, McClellin at ILB. Depending on the pass rush need Brown and Easley at DE and Knighton or Branch at NT

Interesting, never really planted around the Toms, this year is my first year trying elephant garlic, just the 16 pods but hopefully this will turn into 50 + next year. Love roast garlic with pot roast. The squeeze as it oozes! Planted the garlic in the autumn and its just turned spring and they are a foot tall already. Elephant garlic is part of the leek family but grows like garlic and the pod is fist size hence the naming elephant.

What Toms you doing, did San Marzano last year first time.. 9 plants.. 15 litres of sauce. Doubling up to 22 plants this year. They grow the size of a fist and mostly flesh. Mine are about 10-12 inches at the moment and ready to pot on.

I'll be planting 27+ different varieties of tomato this year (I've got some extra space, since I'm cutting way back on zucchini and summer squash for a year). I'm going to be trying a lot of heirloom varieties, and I may pick up an additional 1 or 2 that are already started, along the way.

Some examples:

Super Snow White
Black Krim
Indigo Rose
German Johnson
Mortgage Lifter
Jubilee
Yellow pear
Black cherry
Boxcar Willie
Pruden's purple
Cherokee purple

etc...


I'm sure Pot Roast would love them! (See what I did there?)

Epic thread ...

Hightower would play more ILB to me. Sheard would be an OLB.

Yea I thought of that but Sheard was in coverage only twice all year whereas High was in coverage 24 times.

Jabaal could be good. Not sure.

3-4 OLBs don't really cover that much. They just sometimes drop in short zones, anyone can do that.

OLBs need to have some mobility,length, awareness some ability to run a little in coverage. That excludes a number of player types.

With that said, Sheard has experience in coverage at both CLE and Pitt. He was not very good at it. He could be better here who knows.
