* If teenagers insist on parking on your street with rap music for all to hear, a little Phantom of the Opera played at full volume will, in an amazingly short time, convince them to go elsewhere....
* While iris might indeed be pretty easy to grow, getting them to grow straight UP is a bit more of a challenge......
* I am far less tolerant of fussiness in plants I can't eat
* After two years of reasonably successful gardening, I am positively sanctimoneous when walking through the produce aisles and seeing all the waxed produce....
* The strawberry plants have doubled in size in just the last three weeks. I am getting a little bit nervous....

Um, how small should seed potatoes be? Mine were about the size of a lemon. Gulp!
I had always heard that there should be about 2 eyes on each potato chunk. I thought that might mean eyes actually visibly sprouting, but it might mean 2 dimples-that-will-probably-grow-into-eyes
