RE: Problem Gardener/dandelions

Thanks for the warm welcomes!

This is in regards to Bills remark about my garden....don't assume I know
very much just because I have a fascination with planting things.  Heck, I'd
plant a lego if I knew it would grow.   My wife claims I'm obsessed.  I
don't know why every time I meet someone in town, they always make note of
seeing me working in my yard.  I'm not there "ALL" the time.  I do sleep a
couple hours at night and I have a day job.

My wife, myself and twin daughters planted 31 annuals together this past
Sunday.  Talk about quality time!!  I think it may be starting to rub off on
her.  She's not much of a green thumb.  She's known as the plant killer.

Well, it looks awful nice outside.  I think I will go home and play outside
(that's what I call it anyway).  Have a great evening.

Chat tomorrow!
