How Does Your Garden Grow?

[Diane Amberg]

  I am annoying  tomatoes. I have bushels and it's cool today, so there are toms all over the kitchen and dining room  and more to pick. So now the kitchen smells so good, like hot tomatoes. Is anybody else canning yet?

[Rudy Taylor]

Dang it. I have no ducky experiences.

As a kid I took my bath with a rubber rat.

Woe is me.

[Diane Amberg]

And what was the rubber rat's name? Hmmm?

[kdfrawg]

"Ratso", after the character in the Kinky Friedman mysteries. At least that has a semi-literary connection.

I wonder if he'll quit writing if he gets elected Governor of Texas?

This is really neat. If I had room for a garden this next year, I would try this..

Round watermelons usually take a lot of room  and the usually round fruit often sits awkwardly on refrigerator shelves.
Smart Rutherford County farmers have forced their watermelons to grow into a
Square shape by inserting the melons into square, tempered glass cases while
The fruit is still growing on the vine.

So, how do they get them back out of the "square, tempered glass cases?" Maybe the cases come in pieces?

[Teresa]

This is the case that they are grown in.

[kdfrawg]

Cool! They come apart. I guess I could get over the shock of not being able to get a traditional "wedge" of melon.

[Diane Amberg]

 They must know the average size those melons usually grow. Can you imagine what a truck load of those would look like?    Neat!

[Rudy Taylor]

My guess is they use regular melons and square water.
