* One can actually cut oneself while picking strawberries. Exactly how is still a bit of a mystery, but the cut is real all the same.
* If its red but rather watery and clear, it's strawberry juice. If it's red but hard to see through, it's blood.
* Castor oil only deters the less-determined of the mole species. Some listen to nothing short of Mole Flambe.
* When one is rolling moth balls into a mole hole to drive it away, the sight of a ticked-off mole immediately rolling them back out is right about where my "strong female" persona gives out in favor of "Eke! A rodent! Save me!!!!!!!!!!"
* Oh sure, I could explain to the neighbors that the jumping up and down in the flowerbed and jabbing at the dirt with a stick was to collapse mole holes, but then they might not think I'm crazy and will want to start borrowing things.
* Only the foolish plant 9 broccoli plants all at once, then decide to "give it one more day" before harvesting all the heads.....unless one prefers the taste of broccoli flowers
* "Live and let live" is an easier philosophy before the Mole From Hell destroys your petunias
