I wish to apologize to all the real gardeners here as I had no idea my plea for help would turn into a reunion of the clan...

Good morning to all of you gardeners. There is only one more week left in July and hopefully everyone is enjoying their summer gardens and enjoying the harvest. If you are planning a Fall garden now is the time plan what you will be planting and when to plant. The key to successful winter gardening is knowing the average date of the first killing frost in your region. You then plant your winter crops early enough to let them reach their full maturity before that killing frost. Local garden authorities can give you information about the timing of first frosts and the hardiness of various crops for your area.
Well, the hail storm yesterday did not miss me like the last one did. It was only pea sized hail, but a half inch accumulated in a very short time. It was pretty cold too, 41F, not much like July. It really looked like winter with the ground all white. Lots of shredded veggie leaves on the ground and some still on the plants looked like swiss cheese. I think most will come back and the tomato and squash blossoms I sprayed with blossom set still are hanging on!
I am now accepting applications from all gardeners to dispose of the Skunk I trapped last night. The winner will be judged on originality and penmanship. Must have own transportation...
Shoot it.
Not a very good aim, then, huh. ;)
It is very hard to miss with a 22 at 6 feet...
I repeat myself........

BG's still got my Ford minivan, since her bear (the lush) threw up in it. I imagine it would be perfect transportation. If the skunk is already trapped, just throw a rope through the driver's window and out the passenger side sliding door and drag the skunk into the van. Have grammie drive it down to Arcada, and leave it in a park. Some loaded leftist type is sure to steal it. Problem solved.
ExCUSE me please. I’m not dragging a dead skunk to Arcada!
Or would that be Arcadia?
Heck. Now I’m lost....
Oh, BTW, take the Utah tags off from it, okay?
Arcata. Sheesh. How you expect me to spell check with that skunk stinkin up the place?
Are YOU the one misspelling the signs along the side of the road in WisCONsin???
No, and if you’d bothered to look at my profile, you’d know I’ve never been to WisCONsin, duh.
Check your pings, Duh.

We have plenty down here and don’t need anymore thank you.
