ZUCCHINI FOR SALE

Before I go out to see if Don is planting the tomatoes correctly, thought I should open my e-mail. So here I am. Susan, I don't know if you saved me from going outside or Don from listening to me telling him that what he is doing with the tomatoes is all wrong! But that's O.K. because he is pretty good at ignoring me.

Back to your Blog; really enjoyed your article on Old Biddy. No one wants to admit they are an old biddy and I can see your Mother's point - everyone is old but her. I felt the same way when I went to my Class Reunion. I was a spring chicken compared to everybody else there.

Now, if I only knew how to get to your website on my own! I will ask the computer guy when he comes in from planting the tomatoes. He has completely landscaped a large area in which to plant five tomatoe plants. Our next door neighbour gave us two (one is one too many) zucchini plants. Just think, all this time I thought he liked us! I have a feeling this is why Don has dug and composted and built a wall around this large area, so the zucchini will have room to grow – never mind the tomatoes. I have a problem with this, because now the neighbour will be encouraged to give us some more plants next year. I would have planted the zucchinis with the hope the bugs would enjoy them and leave the tomatoes alone. Maybe I could make tiny, tiny signs!

Incidentally, glad to hear you like zucchini, we will put you on our list of things to do with the Zucchini. Small zucchinis for salads are good, but if you let them go longer than a week, you get these huge odd shaped things good only for Zucchini loaves, and you can only eat so many zucchini loaves. You know, I think they may be good for children who want to learn how to carve – with very dull knives! Will let you know what corner Don will be standing on when giving the away the Zucchinis.

Definitely NOT a Zucchini fan
