What I Have Learned This Week

*  The days of putting away flannel PJs for the summer are over. 

*  The squash you want least is the one that will come back as a volunteer

*  One does indeed need two tomatillo plants to get tomatilloes. 

*  Two tomatillo plants can produce a truly frightening number of blossoms.  Salsa for everybody!!!!!!!!

*  After 3 years of digging along the fence to try to find holes in the sprinkler lines, changing the watering, and trying to fix the soil because of the giant pools of water we kept getting, one of our first actions should have been to check to make sure the sprinklers for the common area behind our yard weren't watering the daylights out of our fence. 

*  If it takes one 4 months to find where one has put something, like the map of where one has planted each type of garlic, one has picked a really lousy place to keep the darn thing.

*  People with a huge list of things they don't like or won't do are rather exhausting to be around

*  Mosquitoes think Andy tastes better than me.  We think it might be because I'm so pale they think I'm not ripe yet.

*  If one has cats long enough, finding a dead mouse gift OUTSIDE the house and NOT on the floor of one's bedroom can really make one's day

This year I decided to get anal about the garden and created a spreadsheet for various and sundry information. One sheet includes a map of the garden. Too bad the paste tomatoes got all mixed up. I know where everything else is, though. And I did not know that about tomatillo plants.
