The weeds can't be avoided without causing the alkaline level in the
soil to increase. That doesn't make for a good yield.
The wife is unable to work in the garden because she's recovering from
the massive ass kicking I gave her when she dared to talk to me during
a Yankee game. The doctors say she might be able to walk again within
a few years.
The critters are skunks, and raccoons. The moth balls worked on the
skunk, but nothing short of a pellet gun will work on the raccoons.
I've tried lime, cayenne pepper, thorn bushes, and a shovel to the ass
but those bastards keep coming back.

I saw a commercial for that hanging tomato plant gizmo and it looked
interesting so I'm going to try to rig something up along those lines.
