Joke of the Month
A husband is at home watching a football game when his wife interrupts.
"Honey, could you fix the light in the hallway? It's been flickering for weeks now."
He looks at her and says, angrily, "Fix the lights now? Does it look like I have GE written on my forehead? I don't think so."
"Fine."
Then his wife asks, "Well then, could you fix the fridge door? It won't close right."
To which he replied, "Fix the fridge door? Does it look like I have Westinghouse written on my forehead? I don't think so."
"Fine."
She says, "Then could you at least fix the steps to the front door? They are about to break."
"I'm not a darn carpenter and I don't fix steps," He says. "Does it look like I have Ace Hardware written on my forehead? I don't think so."
"I've had enough of you," he said, "I'm going to the bar!"
So he goes to the bar and drinks a few. Soon he starts to feel guilty about how he treated his wife and decides to go home.
As he walks up to the house he notices that the steps are already fixed.
As he enters the house he sees the hall light is working.
As he goes to get a beer he notices the fridge door is fixed.
"Honey," he asks, "how did all this get fixed?"

She said, "Well, after you left I sat outside and cried. Then a nice young man came along and asked me what was wrong. I told him and he offered to do all the repairs and all I had to do was either give him our television or bake a cake."

The husband said, "So what kind of cake did you bake?"

She replied, "Helloooooo... Do you see Betty Crocker Written on my forehead? I don't think so."

Gardening Tips
Here are five factors to keep in mind to get your vegetable patch off to a great start:
1. Exposure
For high-quality crops, all vegetable gardens require at least eight hours of direct sunlight daily. Ensure your garden's southern exposure isn't blocked by mature trees or structures, such as buildings, that will cast shade on your plot.
2. Size
It's always tempting to start off big, but vegetable gardens take a good deal of tending, so it's prudent to begin small and expand gradually as you gain more experience. Bear in mind some vegetables-such as squash, melons, pumpkins and corn-require a great deal of real estate to spread out, so be aware of your plot's spatial limitations.
3. Site
The ground should be fairly level, although a garden that slopes gently to the south will produce earlier crops (colder air will flow down the slope, pulling warmer air in behind it).
If the area is covered with turf grass, use a sharp spade to cut the sod into strips, then undercut the strips below the level of the grass roots; peel away the sod (it can be used to repair bare areas in the lawn or stacked upside down and composted).
Remove any tree roots or rocks, then aerate and amend the soil with plenty of organic matter (e.g., compost, shred¬¬ded leaves or composted manure) to a depth of 30 to 45 centimeters. This can be done with a rot tiller, or manually by double-digging (i.e., twice the depth of the spade or fork) to turn over the existing soil, break up clods and add organic matter.
4. Pathways
Throughout the grow¬¬ing season, you will need access to each plant (for seeding, thinning, weeding, watering, managing pests and harvesting), and paths help keep everything within easy reach.

Traditionally, a path leads up the centre of the plot, with the vegetable rows arranged at right angles to it. Conventional wisdom has it that rows should run on a north-south axis so plants receive equal amounts of sunlight from both sides, but if this is impractical, don't hesitate to run them in a more suitable direction. Remember to place tall crops (e.g., corn, peas, pole beans and tomatoes) at the north end of the patch so they don't shade low-growing plants.
5. Unwelcome visitors
Regardless of where you live, there's likely to be some local wildlife that's every bit as enthusiastic about your plot's bounty as you are. Depending on the kinds of marauders in your neighborhood, you may need to install a physical barrier, such as fencing or netting.
