This may work out for the best...

My wife purchased plants and seeds for the garden the day before yesterday. The garden has been tilled for some time and was still in good order for planting. I wanted to lay off rows with a middle buster (I don't have a middle buster) but my wife said I already have too many toys and gizmos. We wind up laying off the rows with a string and a hoe (I hold the string). We get two rows of corn (peaches and cream), 24 tomato plants and a few cucumber plants set out. Still have quite a ways to go with two more varieties of corn, beans, sunflowers, and I'm going to try watermelons. Now she has two busted blisters and a sore back and we also have about 8 inches of rain that may have washed out all we've done so far. Most likely I will till it all up and we will replant. She seems more agreeable to the middle buster idea for some reason.

My wife and I are doing a garden. I'm bringing up topsoil from a big pile that has been setting for 5 years. It has some roots and a few rocks and weeds in it. She feels the need to rake it and level it out. After raking for a while she always tells me to go get the RatchetRake and rake the stuff out of it. Being the obediant husband that I am I do it. She never questions my purchases since she knows I'd never buy something that wasn't useful. Also, she has cash and credit cards to fulfill her needs, just glad she doesn't have expensive "needs" like me. With just my income we couldn't afford both of us.
