Danger Lurking in Local Garden Centers

 

I just "had" to go to the local Ace to pick up another jug of fish
sauce for the tomatoes.  When I came out I saw the first warning sign:

SALE!

Crap, it happens every friggin' year.  I cannot resist.   I thinks to
meself, I'll just take a quick walk thru.  Crap again, apple trees
were reduced and several of them looked really fine.  I have been
pestering my sweetie for several years about planting a couple apples
and haven't had any luck.  I took the bull by the horns,  and bought a
Honeycrisp and a Royal Gala.  I figgered to sneak 'em in and get them
planted before she caught me.  Maybe she wouldn't notice the side yard
had sprouted a couple new trees.

Yeah, well she was looking out the kitchen window when I rolled in.  

Busted.

Making deals after the transgression costs one dearly.
(Hee hee... I got the trees though!)

It becomes an obsession."   -- Phyllis McGinley

I think they have patches that you can wear for that now, to reduce the
desire for that kind of stuff. Maybe look into a twelve-step-program for
people with similar perversions. We're with ya' Charlie.

Look at the time. I need to go to the nursery for some seeds. Maybe I'll
look around a little.

I could use some of those patches!! I drove by the local nursery today
and felt like I was going thru withdrawels.

 



I have several of what my husband calls "...DARS"

Hobby LobbyDAR

and other types of "DAR" except RAYDAR!

 


Our dear husbands.....we gotta love'em for putting up with our
obsessions!
