Default Surprise, a la Dear Old Dad! G

Mary Beth,

Rather than over fertilizing his lawn, why don't you write a message in
his lawn with fertilizer. This way, in a few weeks after a good rain,
he will notice your love note to him mysteriously appearing in his
front lawn.

Another question about this new surprise I have growing, would anyone
recommend that I use anything to hold my new 'fruits' up off the ground, to
keep from rotting? Like old pantyhose? I know I used this for watermelon in
the past, on a fence line. And for many other squash related fruits.

Thanks again,
MaryBeth still shakin her head

PS I'm wondering how soon I could over fertilize his lawn for him during the
night.....oh, wait, nevermind this is the Dad that 'fertilizes' every single
lawn to green mush as soon as it starts to look nice....hmmmm.

Any other good ideas for planting something obnoxious, but not too big in
his yard? Don't wanna do any damage, but just make it a minor 'pesky'
problem. rubby hands together
