For those of you that care to read my obnoxious blither, a while back I said I was too busy to grow tomatoes this year.
My wife said she didn't want to bother with them.
I said I didn't have any room for them because I was going to retire the garden spot.

WELL after hauling 1 truck load of steel and pipe another truck load of old lumber fence and posts I tore down and 2 truck loads of fire wood from my close back yard. Not to mention ather odds and ends.
All of this went to a burn pile or another site at the far back of my place.

My wife came home with some tomato plants 8 Marglobe tomatoes and 2 patio plants.
She said she would do all of the work.
I did all of the work.
I planted them with old sheets of plywood with holes cut into the wood for the tomatoes to grow out of. NO WEEDS

But the yard reclamation is going great I now have about 100 feet farther back of new yard to sit in which will plant buffalo grass in the next time I come home.

I had to shut down my wife's tomato buying because I told her it was better to grow a few plants she can take care of. As opposed to having too many to take care of then they become neglected.

I worked my tail off this time home and you can tell.

When I seen your post earlier today on another thread It made me wonder how ALL of your projects were going.

Glad to see that your wife caved in and got some tomato's to grow.

Well I for one, enjoy reading your "obnoxious blither'..

I am tired just from reading about all the hard work you accomplished in your yard..You are a good husband for planting the tomatoes for your wife, and she is a well meaning, smart wife, who just know's, that once the summer gets going..You will look forward to having a few sun ripened garden tomatoes from which to make lots of tomato sandwiches...

I like reading your posts!

In fact here's what I like to read most:
1. Obnoxious Blather
2. Long winded diatribes
3. Self serving pitty posts.

Glad you're back to gardening, tell your wife thanks for getting you started! And please keep posting

Worth, when I saw the original post saying no tomatoes I knew you were lying

. All you needed was the act of a good woman to get you on track again. Tell your wife thanks and enjoy the tomatoes when you are home. It is a payoff for all that hard work you did
