My grandfather (who adopted me at birth and I call him "father") is turning 75 years old shortly after Father's Day, and he is very active physically. He singlehandedly grows a 2 acre vegetable and herb garden, grows peach trees, loves to BBQ, hunt, fish, and he's very intellectual. He loves military history, and discuss you tired with current events. He also loves a good drink and very kind and loving to cats and dogs. With that being said, what are some great Father's Day gifts that caters to his interests? Thank you in advance.
Try http://theratingsguy.com/. They have a new father's day section with some really unique and special gift ideas.

im trying to figure out a fathers day gift for my dad, and i would like to make it myself. whats a good gift for my dad who loves his compost bin & vegetable garden?
twirly things are cool. like, spin in the wind toys. pretty but also can scare away certain pests like fruit or worm eating eating birds.
like this:
http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Pinwheel
plastic is cool of course, or laminated but paper would let you print images off the net. i do Like the solid colors they show in that how2 but just saying since it is father's day like if u know how to print up pix of yourself and family.
if u make the blades rounded instead of pointy and color it right it will look like a flower. but also i have seen some that managed to make the center round somehow. adding a disk or just cutting it right. if u add spacer between disk and part that spins then face can stand still while petals spin.
other famous one for dads is the tshirt. u can write or tiedye with bleach. or dye with koolaid. and also u got the transfers but that is cash, like $8 for ten sheets? but i mean the paper u can iron onto a shirt; u print a picture on the paper first by using the regular computer printer, so u can use family pix or personal art.
then of course a card. or 'coupons'. like for one weed picking session or one car washing, one hug, one movie together, etc. it varies on what u think he needs and what u like plus if u want to just make nice ones or ones that will mostly be budgeting time spent together.
cards u can make online and print out besides all the other ways. Some sites are better than others:

a funny thing online is making your own magazine cover. like gardening dad of the year or whatnot:

idk if ur dad is online but here in a good link to email him:
http://www.geocities.com/missbanji/seeds wapping.html
^to seed swap boards, usually can get for SASE if u have none to trade. dont go to daves cause its a pay place. check for level of activity b4 u sign to any tho. some are relatively inactive.
also, even if he is not online, lots of dads like to read. Online u can find him neat texts to share and keep him up to date. maybe try searching with your area plus the words "soil survey" for texts he would find fundamental. also, if he likes to try growing new things it is easy to get very important but obscure details online. here is how to find local or cultivation info...
well, i'm going to link u to two threads actually, one about how to find info but the other about making your own fertilizer because it is relatively new and bears heavily on compost tech:
so here they are:

I know this might sound a bit hinky, but I really don't intend for it to be such. I have found, with my hubby anyway, that if in the morning I give him a little pleasure (usually oral and/or manual), I own him for the day. He calls me on his way to work. He calls me on his lunch break. He calls me on the way home. And he comes straight home. On weekends when I do it, I have gotten him to clean out the garage and his junk room (without a fight!). He cleared the fields in back of our place for my vegetable garden. He has surprised me twice with gifts and 3 times with taking me out on a dinner date without the kids along.
I was thinking that for 5 to 10 minutes of "work" I am getting mountains moved. My sister and g/fs think I am being manipulative and abusive. All I know is he is happy and I am happy. What do you think, am I a bad wife for doing this?
I am not married yet, in fact I am still a virgin, but, looking at the answers you are receiving here, I would say your husband must think he has died and gone to heaven! I think I am going to do this same thing when I get married and see if I get the same results. The thing I am most impressed with here is that all the guys seem to be on the same page and think you are wife of the century! Hey for ten minutes of "work" you are getting maximum returns on your investment. By all means you need to write a book or get on the talk shows...when women find out about this trick (hahaha) I think divorce lawyers are going to go out of business!
We bought a house within the past week and it has an 8'x8' garden bed in the back yard and I really don't want to tear it down so I came up with a brilliant idea. I am going to make it a garden for the homeless!! I plan to grow fresh fruit and vegetables and once they are ripe enough, I'll take them down to the homeless. But I need help! I don't know what to grow because I've never had a garden before and I have a lot of room to plant things. So any ideas of what I could plant or any ideas that I could use to make my idea better would be greatly appreciated!!
Oh! And another idea that I have is that my 16th birthday is coming up in December around Christmas. But the thing is, I don't want gifts. I am going to ask people to bring a gift or canned food or coats and jackets for the homeless for Christmas. So ANY ideas that you have, I am all ears(or eyes in this case).
Thanks in advanced!

Lol, first I thought you meant you were going to donate your garden as a kind of park for the homeless and I thought- "8x8 isn't big enough for that!" But I get it now...
Um, if you're going to give them food straight out of your garden (are you taking them to a shelter to be cooked and turned into actual meals, or just personally handing out fresh fruit and veggies to them?) I'd say make sure what you're growing is suitable to eat raw and cold and by itself (i.e. NOT potatoes, squash, onions, etc. but rather carrots, strawberries...).
You could also bake things for them, as ingredients like flour, sugar, etc. are very cheap and can make a lot of filling food that can go unrefrigerated or heated up (like cupcakes or rolls).
Good luck, it's a great idea! God bless.

(Healthy food) Planting an Indoor Vegetable Garden
By Marvin Cervantes
Nothing beats the fresh wholesome taste of vegetables freshly picked from your own garden. Planting vegetable gardens can be a challenge if you don’t have a backyard, but you can still grow vegetables indoors. Just follow a few simple garden-smart guidelines.
Choose Appropriate Vegetables
Different plants have different requirements and with indoor gardens the major restrictions tend to be available space and available light. If you want to grow fruit bearing plants, these will require large amounts of sunlight. Salad greens like lettuce, miniature cabbages, swiss chard, and spinach require less light and do quite well indoors.
The size of your pots will also determine your choice of plant, choose containers big enough for the plants full growth. Small root crops such as radishes and onions are great choices, and there are even small root carrots available. Herbs are a popular choice because they are compact and do not need much space. Miniature varieties of tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant can also thrive inside when given the proper care.
