Now see this post is mostly fur Wyatt... our Sec. of Agriculture. He wants to be sure to have all the info. about the candy cane plants and... about how to grow our own Milkbone bushes.
Remember back in the fall when I Harvested my SECOND Batch of Milkbones. I even had enough to CAN fur this winter. OH boy howdy... FRESH MILKBONES are just the best.
Here I am... on the day of the big second harvest. The bushes were just LOADED. I could smell them... clear inside my house.So.. I got my original Milkbone Seeds from a mailorder CATaLOG called something like Burp Ease or something. Butt... I have learned that if you want to save some green papers... you just take some left over Milkbones... dig a hole and Plant them. Cover them carefully though. You will get an EARLY crop... and you take some of the smaller ones... and Plant THOSE... then in like September... that crop will be ready to pick. I think the second crop is sweeter and Crunchier... butt that may just be me.

Oh goodies....anudder pawty! YIPEE..I had so much funs at da last one. Can't wait!
I don't tink da Milk Bone bush would last until da harvest. My pack woulds have dem gone in like 87 milliseconds.
Frankie, your peppermint crop is so awesome that we want to try to do that next year too. We checked with our local K-Mart for some seeds, but they said they were so overwhelmingly popular that there would be no more until next winter:(
TD wonders what your secret is to growing those milkbones. He tried unsuccessfully to plant a stuffy foot one time in the hopes of growing a stuffy tree and he failed miserably.
We hope to be able to attend the banquet - a great way to honor those two wonderful pups Pip and Bunny.

Great crop, my friend....what am I suppose to do....on the 26th?
Hey Frankie!
Wow, that's one pawsome crop you got going there. Gotta watch that the candy canes don't get stuck to your fur! You, Mamaw and Papaw Pantslegs really have green thumbs...or dewclaws, or whatever! The banquet sounds wonderful. I can be on duty and have fun at the same time.
Grr and Woof,
Sarge, COP
OMD, Now Rudy wants to grow his own crop of doggy treats...
Hi Frankie, I always wondered how you grew the milk bones. I may give that a try.
Licks,
Ruthie
Oh, gosh, there I go again. Being all drooly over those fresh milkbones. I sure wish I had the green paw that YOU have, Frankie!
How exciting abouts the banquet! I can't wait!
Wiggles & Wags,
mayzie
So that's how to grow this stuff! I been wonderin' how to make my own. Thanks, Franky!
We tried to grow a bone bush; but we ate all the seed bones....
Since you've been away so long, did you remember to pack away the snow ready for the hot weather!
XXXOOO Daisy, Kendra & Bella
I didn't know you were such a good farmer Frankie!
About the abused dog mom had to call own...last she heard the owner is not releasing them so looks like it will be a court battle. :(
Hahaha! Frankie, you might be the only dog I know with a green thumb. Oh wait...dogs don't have thumbs, do they? Well...you sure grow good crops anyway.
I think you has a bumper crop of candy canes because all of that snowman poo makes grate candy cane fertilizers. Or so I hear.
Oh Frankie we will be there and we will post about it on Saturday, Febraury 26. Did you mean 87?
Benny & Lily
Wow, that is quite a crop of candy canes you got there! I am very impressed. :-)
Oh Fwankie

Hi Frankie! First, a question -
If you plant the pieces that end up at the bottom of the Milkbone box, will they grow or does it have to be a whole Milkbone?
Should we bring beer to the banquet? There always seems to be a big call for beer when Blogville has a pawty.
Wow! What a great milk bone tree! The party sounds fun.
Very interesting about the MilkBone planting! We must try that when we get back up to N.Idaho. About the banquet. Are non-cabinet members invited? We've never been cabinetized for anything.;>( AND finally: Franky you need to send us your address for your prizes!!
Smooches,

That banquet sounds like so much fun! And really, it's just around the corner. I'll have to mark it on my calendar so I can remember to have my boys attend.
Oh, WOW, we'd better get our tails in gear. Lots going on! Where is the darned "PAUSE" button???
