Â* The garden is beginning to produce stuff now , just picked a couple
of yaller squarshes , cucumbers are producing nicely , as are all 3
varieties of beans/field peas . Tomato plants are all over the top of
the (five feet tall) cages with the exception of the Roma's . But IIRC
they never did get as big as the slicing varieties . No ripe tomatoes
yet , but all the plants are loaded , plus lots and lots of blossoms too
. Turns out that one of my Serrano pepper plants is a jalapeno ... not
sure how that happened , those seeds were clearly marked . That's OK
though , I was wishing for some jalapenos for salsa . I also found a
weakness in the Japanese beetles , they like morning sex ... and when
they're coupled it slows them down enough to squash them before they get
away .
I think this year I'll harvest enough produce to make it seem
worthwhile ... the wife has been kinda disappointed with the little I've
been getting for all the work involved . I don't think she's going to
feel that way this year ...
Why can't you refer to her as MY wife? Refering to her as THE wife
puts her on the same level as THE dog.... and perhaps not, I'll bet
you say MY dog.
Â* Why do you care ? I've made it very plain how I feel about my wife ,
in about 6 weeks we'll be celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary . Can
you say you've been in a relationship that long ? And it's "our" dog .
