It is that time of year, time to plant the vegetable garden. This entails two very important steps. Step one is rototilling. Rototilling is best done by a strong short person. I am stronger than I used to be, but truly there is really nothing short about me, except for my hair….and sometimes my patience. Every time I rototill I think to myself, I need a taller rototiller or I need a shorter helper. The rototiller is one of those items with a bit of ‘history’ and the ‘history’ is that we got it because sometimes it catches fire. (Farming is dangerous work). So far, it has only done it once but the once was the last time we used it, so I was ready in case it happened again. ‘Ready’ being a lung full of air and luckily for me, I do have a lot of hot air, so if I had to blow the fire out, I could probably do it. Luckily, the tiller co-operated and with the garden freshly tilled the only thing left to do was the planning.
We (My Loving Spouse and I) agree about most things about the vegetable garden planning, except one and that one thing is called pumpkins. 
I don’t think you can really grow too many pumpkins and he thinks that they are a bit messy, take up a lot of room and invade other space. (Space that has to be weeded and there is only one of us weeding and her name is not My Loving Spouse!)
Being reasonable people, we came to an agreement. The pumpkins could be grown in the vegetable garden and they could even have half of the garden, but if their vines grew over the line, I was to clip them off and keep them in control!
