Re: Gardener's Anonymous

 Gareth,

Take heart, the roto-tilling thing can be a blessing in diguise.  When my
sister-in-law visits, Ken spends hours roto tilling the garden!  The last
time she was here, the whole garden was roto-tilled 4 times (and it's a good
sized garden).  She was very impressed with what a good job Ken was doing
and why didn't my brother do such a job on their garden.  (MY brother -
saint that he is - played deaf (he's not) and I fear, he's done it so often
it's now just habit.    SO-o-o -o  take it easy on the poor roto-tiller,
unless it becomes such an obsession that you don't get fed!
