I hadn't been to the doctor in a year so I was getting calls from his office to come in for a checkup. I checked all my meds to see what I needed to have him write a new scrip for and I was going to get an allergy pill since I sneeze for a day after I've been in the garden - I am allergic to anything that grows. Years ago, I gave myself shots in my leg and finally stopped that and stayed inside.

So, I went to the doctor. I put two Stevia leaves in a little plastic bag and labeled it. When I told him why I needed the allergy pills, I told him about the garden, that I had a container garden because plants died in the ground. Told him about net room, and gave him the bag. I thought he was going to kiss me over those two Stevia leaves. He just went bonkers about the net room as every time his wife's lemon tree has a lemon on it, a squirrel gets it. Told him just put a net over it, don't need a whole room for one plant.

Told him I had about 40 strawberry plants that should have strawberries in the spring and I have carrots and turnips and sweet potatoes growing. He was so excited, I thought he was going to go look at my container garden.

I wasn't expecting him to react like that. He said he could grow in containers, too, that he hadn't thought of it.

In between gardening talk, he did the prescriptions. Really, I wouldn't be surprised if he called me to talk more about container gardening.

One never knows what will happen when you go to the doctor.

As I was waiting to see him, there was a screen that kept changing showing the various doctors pictures there and their specialty and when his picture/name came up, it said he was elected the best physician in the county. I can tell you why that happened - he's the best looking doctor I ever saw.

LOL. That’s a nice report. I talk about my garden when I go to the Doc too. I laughs and says You’re a hoot.

I need a new GP doctor, but he don’t have to be good looking. Know any?
