* There was probably a reason why, when I asked the guy at the garlic company to send me only really easy-to-grow garlic, there were no hardneck garlics in my order.
* Getting one cherry tomato a day is not necessarily that much better than getting NO tomatoes--especially when it's a community property tomato and must be split 50-50 with your spouse.
* I'd probably be able to start making pickles if I'd stop eating all the cucumbers as soon as I find them.
* Drawing a map of where each type of garlic & how many cloves of each are being planted is a fine idea in the fall. In the summer, it might be a little bit less of a great idea when one has spent two hours trying to figure out how the map could show 15 plants and the garden 9, and if that means I've been mislabeling garlic.
* For some of us, just growing whatever type of garlic grows with the least amount of fuss is probably best. Let people who do it for a living figure out whether a garlic head is Polish White or Susanville.
* I knew some of our strawberries would have a second crop of berries, though I guess I really expected them to do it when it wasn't 100 degrees.
* No matter how many times and in how many ways it is explained, there will always be a neighbor who can't figure out that if he waters at the wrong time, it kicks off the subdivision pump and no one gets any water for their lawns.
* I will never get used to the fact that teens today are still blaring rap music--which was new and sort of cool when I was in high school more than 20 years ago.
* Grocery shopping is a different experience depending on what time of the day you go. Apparently ZZ Top shops at my grocery store early on Saturday mornings. Who knew?

I was in a work-related training class and while chatting with another student during lunch, I described my garlic-growing experience this summer. She said she could not get her head around the idea that a single garlic clove could (magically) turn into an entire bulb.
