Lisa asks…
Rate my rap lyrics anybody?
These are my own lyrics apart from the chorus obviously, its a twist on Stan – Eminem, written with the same story line but a totally different person, I can’t rap, but if I could, I would rap it along to the instrumentals of Stan – Eminem
Chorus
My tea‘s gone cold I’m wondering why I got out of bed at all,
The morning rain clouds up my window, and I can’t see at all
And even if I could it’ll all be gray, but your picture on my wall
It reminds me, that it’s not so bad,
It’s not so bad…
Hey Slim, First i’d like to say that I wish I was your daughter,
It’s amazing what you do, all those songs you write for her,
She’s so lucky; I wish my dad would have done the same,
But he walked when I was little, hell I’ve even forgot his name,
So I’m writing you this letter, and I know that you’ll send one too,
But before you write, I’ll tell you how much I’m actually like you,
We’re both from rough families, see I grew up with a drug-addicted brother,
We lived in a trailer too, with our alcoholic mother,
The two of us, well we never went to school,
Probably why my hand-writings so bad, but I hope that’s still cool?
I’ve already mentioned that I never knew my father,
‘A loser, violent asshole ‘ my mom says, but that’s just because he didn’t want her,
When things got really bad, I could always just listen to your music,
I’d come home and feel better, because I know you had been through it,
So I’m writing this all down, to let you know just how much we have in common,
Please write me back, I love you Slim, I’m your biggest fan, this is Lauren.
Chorus
My tea‘s gone cold I’m wondering why I got out of bed at all,
The morning rain clouds up my window, and I can’t see at all
And even if I could it’ll all be gray, but your picture on my wall
It reminds me, that it’s not so bad,
it’s not so bad…
Slim, I wanna know why you won’t just write me,
You must have a lot of work, that must be why, it has to be,
I’m in that place again, feeling like I have no one to talk to,
I’m hoping you’ll write back, so I can relate myself to what you went through,
I’d like to tell you, a bit more how things fell out in order,
The butterfly effect you know, how it started with my Judas of a father,
See I believe every thing happens for a reason, and he set off a whole line domino’s,
After he told my mom he was leaving,
Now I’ll always be one to wonder,
What if he hadn’t left? would my brother still be six feet under?
Would I look in the mirror and resent myself daily?
Please write me back Slim, honestly right now you’re the only one who can save me.
Chorus
My tea‘s gone cold I’m wondering why I got out of bed at all,
The morning rain clouds up my window, and I can’t see at all
And even if I could it’ll all be gray, but your picture on my wall

It’s not so bad…
Hi Marshall, It’s Lauren, the depressing girl who wrote you,
I’ve lost hope now and don’t write me back now; I don’t expect you to,
I really thought you of all people would have helped me,
I’ve loved you like you since I can remember, like you were my own family,
Why did I think the most famous rapper in the world would give me some attention?
My own mother couldn’t do that and not to mention,
You have your own family to care for and I understand that completely,
I’m dead and buried now, but YOU Slim, YOU could of saved me.
GardenersCardiff answers:
That’s deep & beautiful. I loved music too when I was growing up it’s comforting to know someone else out there feels your pain & you’re not alone.
If you don’t rap, maybe you should think about poetry? You can sell & publish your writings with your own copyright.
Richard asks…
How would one grow tea like the tea at Teavana?
I want to start growing my own tea, and making my own blends. I have a greenhouse. Is there a certain tea leaf plant? What other herbs and fruits does teavana use to make their blends? Do they dehydrate fruit to add too? I have an orchard, and herb garden, and beehives, the only thing I don’t produce for my tea is the actual tea.
GardenersCardiff answers:
Camellia sinensis is where tea comes from.
Donna asks…
How many ounces/pounds of tea leaves can a tea tree produce in the southeast United States?
I want to grow my own tea and I want to know how much I can get off a tree per year.
As you can see this is a very specific question. I’ve done a bit of research, but can’t find the amount to be expected for one tree for one year. One pound? Twenty pounds? One hundred pounds?
GardenersCardiff answers:
The tea that you drink comes from the leaves of a plant named camellia sinensis. It is a bush, not a tree. They are usually grown at a higher elevation. Get more info here:

Yes, Diggers Seeds have an online catalogue and can be ordered. They are a bit hard to grow from seeds. Can sometimes buy the plants fairly cheaply. It’s a species of camellia.
Our local nursery sells them.
They are sometimes available from ebay
Follow the link below, they have them for $2.85 a pack

Click Here If You Have Grown Your Own Tea?
I like tea, and I heard that the stuff you buy in the grocery store has toxins from the chemicals and processing done to it. I plan to grow my own tea, harvest it, then add my own mix of flavours and see how it turns out. If it turns out well I might sell it. I need to know the following
What kind of tea do I need to grow?
How do I harvest it?
How long does it take to grow?
GardenersCardiff answers:
This would as difficult and tedious as trying to make your own wine by growing your own grapes. You can try it, but the results will likely be mediocre unless you invest a lot of time money and effort into it. On a personal scale, I don’t think it would be worth it.
It’s not easy, but if you have the money to order them $$$, then order several tea plants. It would be great if you have a big enough yard to plant at least a dozen tea shrubs. You will need the patience and knowledge on how to grow them, easily searchable online I guess. They will take a few years to get to a reasonable size. This process can take years, I am telling you. Its not instant gratification. You would also need to research on how to properly prepare the tea leaf buds for drying.
Mary asks…
how to grow your own tea Leafs?
thats it how do you grow tea leafs where do you get the seeds? what eve i need to know
GardenersCardiff answers:
You have to get the tea tree from New Zealand. The best bet is to contact a Maori Iwi. Iwi translates from Maori to English as I Wont It. Tea tree grows very well in America. It probaly grows better than Pohutikawa does in San Fransico.
