Re: Your husband's purple tulips

I agree with you Sally. I have been building a shade garden bed for 2 years
(it started out as a pile of leaves, then grass I cut out of the front yard,
then a few loads of a soil mix), and when I didn't have time to plant it
this year, it was covered with weeds. My husband started to call it HIS
garden (he has never gardened-grew up in a condo and has killed every house
plant he ever laid his hands on), and when I finally went in and killed all
the weeds with Round-Up, he said I had killed his garden! I felt so bad,
that after I planted it I still called it his garden, and he periodically
wanders out to look at it and ask me what's what. Next year I am going to
take him to a nursery and give him carte blanche to buy any plant he wants.
I'd rather have him outside in the yard with me than inside surfing the
'net.
